Well that was a lot easy than I thought, Thank you very much toyicebear.
Now as you seem to be a person in the know with contribs etc. I want exactly what "Share Folder Content (FolderShare)" does http://addons.oscommerce.com/info/4866  but his instructions are not complete....

Can you suggest another contrib which will read the contents of a folder of .docs or .pdf and make a web page of it. And I want to put a link in the top header nav bar saying "Manuals"

Or something along those lines, I would have thought it would have been such a common request but have been searching for a long while..
So any idea's anyone, or can a guru look at the above contrib and finish his install instructions

OsCommerce is so cool

[toyicebear]

Not familiar with that add-on, you should try a forum search for more info.

[comstech]

Yeah did many searches and all that comes up is me asking for help - LOL

Hi - very quick question - hope the answer is too!
Like so many am totally new to this, and after a couple of days of struggling have found this supremely helpful.
Have discovered that a lot of the stuff is not where it claims it is - for example no oscommerce.gif, it now seems to be a png!
Anyway have got past the putting my own logo on hurdle, and progressed to the removing default gifs.  Have downloaded the recommended contribution, but I do not have a "catalog" folder.
Do I just upload the new folder to the min images directory or is it the images folder in the "includes" folder?
Thanks
Joe

Check the code again , if you deleted just one character to many or just left one you should not have left you get errors.

Some changes have happened in the newer versions of oscommerce, so there will be some minor differences.

Not all installs have a /catalog/ folder , some removes it and place the shop in the root / , some renames the folder to something like /osc/ , /shop/ , /store/ whatever....

The catalog folder should then just be taken as the main folder where all the shop files resides in in your particular case.

Hi Everyone,

I'm new to the forum but have been looking at this to fix up some of my problems.  However, one of my problems I can't seem to find a fix.  What should be a simple thing in removing the OsCommerce text from the bottom of my footer is giving me headaches.  I've tried looking in the footer.php file (I don't have one however in the default template I'm using) and I've also searched in the index.php files.  I don't have an english.php file either so I'm really struggling to find where to look.

Any advice as to where I could find this would be appreciated.

Thanks


Sally

[toyicebear]

the footer file is not in the same folder as the index.php file

its one level down in a folder called /includes/

[SallyS]

Hi,

Thanks for the advice...Looked under the /includes/ folder but all I had was the following:

<?php
/*
  $Id: footer.php,v 1.1.1.1 2004/03/04 23:40:38 ccwjr Exp $

  osCommerce, Open Source E-Commerce Solutions
  http://www.oscommerce.com

  Copyright © 2003 osCommerce

  Released under the GNU General Public License
*/
//You will need to edit this file In the /templates/(template name)/

//If it is used by the template you are using>
?>

Is there anywhere else it could be hiding??

[SallyS]

Should also mention that the footer.php is not in my templates folder either - already checked.

[SallyS]

I worked it out.  There was another area hidden and it was in the english.php file!!!!  Thanks for the tips - will be looking out for more!

Thanks!

Hi Nick
I have a few questions I hope you can help with:
when I add a product to cart, the box that appears titled 'What's in my Cart?' is still white in it's background colour whereas I have changed most all other boxes to black background, how to I change background colour of this box?, can not identify in stylesheet?

on same page
the buttons: Update, Continue Shopping, Checkout are all fine yet these buttons have rounded corners and as my background is black are showing white portions in corners just behind the buttons, is it possible to change? if so where would I make these portions black also?
hey thanks again in advance
regards Stephen

The shopping cart page and product listings have the same stylesheet classes...

Relevant classes are:

Quote

TR.accountHistory-odd, TR.addressBook-odd, TR.alsoPurchased-odd, TR.payment-odd, TR.productListing-odd, TR.productReviews-odd, TR.upcomingProducts-odd, TR.shippingOptions-odd {
  background: #f8f8f9;
}

TR.accountHistory-even, TR.addressBook-even, TR.alsoPurchased-even, TR.payment-even, TR.productListing-even, TR.productReviews-even, TR.upcomingProducts-even, TR.shippingOptions-even {
  background: #f8f8f9;
}

TABLE.productListing {
  border: 1px;
  border-style: solid;
  border-color: #b6b7cb;
  border-spacing: 1px;
}

.productListing-heading {
  font-family: Verdana, Arial, sans-serif;
  font-size: 10px;
  background: #b6b7cb;
  color: #FFFFFF;
  font-weight: bold;
}

TD.productListing-data {
  font-family: Verdana, Arial, sans-serif;
  font-size: 10px;
}

Just change and use another button set....you can find many alternatives here...

Start reading this topic from the first page and the first post and you will see/learn how to do such changes.  If you can not learn how to do it yourself, i suggest you hire someone to do it for you.

Hi toyicebear.
Thanks for your post - I have a question for you.. the 'left_column.php' - does that refer to the very left hand side of the site where all the categories are listed? Because this is an area of my site which I'd like to change - I want to change the background colour of it and the size & boldness of the category text. Is left_column.php the place to do it? And do you know of any other resources which will take me through this process?

Thanks so much.
