I was trying to install this contribution, but I couldn't find the includes/databases.php nor the admin/includes/databases.php files and my guess is that it is not working at all (half of the store appears blank) because my installation is incomplete, since I don't have those files to add the "define the table_information" input.
Can anyone help me figure out why I don't have them, or how to add them to my store? I am new to php.
I did a clean oscommerce installation somewhere else to see if those files were there by default (and I had maybe accidentally deleted them), but they aren't.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Howdy - Great contribution - I love it and it seems to be working perfectly as far as I can tell
Could someone tell me if it is possible to call a html file into an info box page? and if so, how? I have struggled and I have very weak php/html skills.
Here is what I want to do:
I created this simple photo gallery and placed it in the store at
http://www.pavepatch.com/pub/flomix/flomixindex.html
I would like for the above photo gallery page to appear in the info box page (rather than having to place a link to it)
http://www.pavepatch.com/photo-gallery-i-7.html
Is this possible? to call an html page into a page....
I have tried various forms of code but with no luck. please excuse my shot in the html/php darkness... I am pretty sure I am not even close...
Thanks much for any advice. Dave

Never mind... I found another contribution that seems to fit my needs better, the Article Manager contribution.

Ok I have found that this works:
<P ALIGN=top> <!-- Start Photo Area --> <center> <iframe name="content_frame" width="600" height="500" src="/pub/flomix/flomixindex.html"> </iframe></center> <!-- End Photo Area --></p>
Is there a more appropriate way to do this like using OBJECT or another method?
I have heard that using iframe should be avoided.
If OBJECT, how would the code be written?
Thanks

I installed the Information Pages Unlimited, great contribution, with no error at all. Thanks a lot.
After I added a few articles, such as Privacy, "Contact Us", "Term of Use", I feel like it would be more appropriate to move these information to the footer, so my question is that is it possible to move the entire "Infomation" infobox to the footer, and make all the articles a footer style?
Thanks

This should be fairly simple to do by removing the coding for information.php from your column_right/column_left.php and adding to includes/footer.php. A few tweaks to the html coding and stylesheet is all you need to get it to display the way you want in terms of width, etc.
The code to remove from your columns_left.php (or right, if you've moved it) and to add to footer.php would be
<?php require(DIR_WS_BOXES . 'information.php'); ?>

Hello,
I use v1.3 of this wonderful (Information Pages Unlimited) contribution that includes the parent/child feature for the information pages.
Unfortunately, the way it's currently constructed is that the breadcrumb doesn't add a child's parent ID's title (if one exists), so we jump from the child directly to the catalog if we want to go back.
I tried to add something like
before the "regular" breadcrumb insert in the information.php page and update the SQL query to include the parent_id, but I'm not a strong php coder, so it doesn't work (I don't know how to check what happens if the $parent is NULL and how to extract the $parent_title information if one exists).
Would anyone care to help me on this?
Thanks,
David
PS. I opened a new topic by mistake. I apologize in advance for the double-post. I wish there was an option to remove a post that you created.

$parent = stripslashes($information['parent_id']);
$parent_title = ????
$breadcrumb->add($parent_title, tep_href_link(FILENAME_INFORMATION, 'info_id=' . $parent, 'NONSSL'));

Hi.
I couldn't make this working.
Maybe something about register_globals = off? Or does anyone has it working with it disable?
Problem is: When I click to create a page... it does nothing.
Any help? Or should I search for an alternative?

Add adown changes to following files
================================
## ADMIN AREA ##
includes/configure.php:
// Module: Information Unlimited
require(DIR_WS_MODULES . 'information/configure.php');
--------------------------------------------------------------
includes/application_top.php:
// Module: Information Unlimited
require(DIR_WS_INFORMATION . 'application_top.php');
-------------------------------------------------------------
includes/column_left.php:
// Module: Information Unlimited
require(DIR_WS_INFORMATION . 'boxes/information.php');
--------------------------------------------------------------
includes/languages/english:
Add this:
//INFORMATION
define('BOX_HEADING_INFORMATION', 'Info system');
define('BOX_INFORMATION_MANAGER', 'Info manager');
//
do this for every other language file in your "languages" folder.
--------------------------------------------------------------
includes/application_top.php:
// include local general functions used application-wide
require(DIR_WS_INFORMATION . 'functions/information_html_output.php');
// include local language translations
require(DIR_WS_INFORMATION . 'languages/' . $language . '.php');
//INFORMATION
define('TABLE_INFORMATION', 'information');
define('FILENAME_INFORMATION_MANAGER', 'information_manager.php');
---------------------------------------------------------------------
includes/configure.php
define('DIR_WS_INFORMATION', DIR_WS_MODULES . 'information/');
----------------------------------------------------------------------
## CATALOG AREA ##
includes/application_top.php:
// Module: Information Unlimited
require(DIR_WS_MODULES . 'information.php');
===============================
The first 2 areas I'm not sure if I'm adding, changing, all I know is it causes errors.
There's no mention of changes to the database_tables file, which I find off, am I missing files somehow?

Great Contribution, I installed it. it works like a Charming.
I wonder is there a way to make description support PHP code. such as
<?php echo tep_get_defined_content('Catalog Heading'); ?>
As I don't know much about PHP. I am trying to use this contribution together with Define_content_V1.3. If the description page can support
<?php echo tep_get_defined_content('Catalog Heading'); ?>
Then I won't need anything else to update or create any information and update online without FTP.
Any help will be apperciated
Thanks
