Hi all

does some1 has implemented in in version 2.33??

[vampirehunter]

is HTTP_POST_VARS deprecated?

this is still in 2.3.3 code

do i need to change this in order to make my dropdowns work?

[kymation]

$HTTP_POST_VARS is deprecated, but there is compatibility code in osCommerce to make it function. You can change it to $_POST if you want, but it shouldn't make any difference.

ok thanks, so that means it cannot be that which is causing this code not to work then.

im getting stuck on this code, i do not understand why the page URL is not being passed through the form??

tep_href_link(basename($PHP_SELF)

if i view the HTML source of this form, i can clearly see the full URL for the "action" option. But when the dropdown is selected, it just goes to the index.php page without the cpath after it. what could be preventing the cpath not to go through?

// Show Drop down menu in split_page_link :
// (You can move this part where ever you inside $display_links_string ) here it's a the very begining.
  $display_links_string .= tep_draw_form('prod_per_page', tep_href_link(basename($PHP_SELF), $parameters), 'get'). tep_draw_pull_down_menu('ppp', $ppp_list, $products_per_search_page, 'class="smallText" onchange="this.form.submit()"') ;
  $ignore = array('page', 'ppp');
  if (is_array($HTTP_GET_VARS) && (sizeof($HTTP_GET_VARS) > 0)) {
	reset($HTTP_GET_VARS);
	while (list($key, $value) = each($HTTP_GET_VARS)) {
	  if ( (strlen($value) > 0) && ($key != tep_session_name()) && (!in_array($key, $ignore)) ) {
		$display_links_string .= tep_draw_hidden_field($key, $value);
	  }
	}
  }
		$display_links_string .= tep_hide_session_id() . '</form>';
	   
	  }

Where's the code that executes when this form is submitted? That's probably where your problem is.

[vampirehunter]

this code is in split_page_results.php

i used this plugin here

http://addons.oscommerce.com/info/7219

the form is actually showing the cpath, but when it submits, it doesn't pass it through.

unless there is something to do with wamp settings?

so like my page is this URL: http://localhost/testsite/index.php?cPath=3&sort=0d&page=2

if i select the dropdown which allows you to select how many products to view, say i choose 20, then the form automatically submits.

and I should b getting this URL here: http://localhost/testsite/index.php?cPath=3&sort=0d&page=2&ppp=20

but at the moment i only get this: http://localhost/testsite/index.php?&ppp=20


It doesn't seem to want to submit the entire URL path.

It should work, because I got an example from someone else and they said it was working on theirs.

I can't see what could be wrong with it.

Unless the actual form isn't constructed correctly?

Maybe where it says

$parameters

It is supposed to say

tep_get_all_get_params()

Just a guess though   Maybe it needs both of those?  I'm not sure what the $parameters variable contains...

	}
  }
		$display_links_string .= tep_hide_session_id() . '</form>';

this is the code.

still can't workout why this form is not passing the full url of the current page in the form.

if i view the html source of the current page, it clearly shows the full URL in the action path, yet it isn't being passed through the form.

completely stuck on this one.

the fact that several others have used this as it is, i seriously have no clue as to why its not working.

everything seems right.

I am new to Oscommerce so bare with me and this is my first post. I am trying to move a dropdown list from the content area of three categories to the header of the page. It would display a category in the header with a dropdown list of the manufacturers that when selected would display in the content area. Does anyone know how to move the code from the content area to the header? I am using a test site at http://www.juantristan.com/store/index.php?cPath=22 there you can see in the content area a dropdown menu that says Show All Manufacturers. That is what I am trying to move to the header. Thanks for any help.

Hi

You can pretty much take a bit of code from somewhere else in the files and hack sorry - edit - it to do something else - if you grab the code for the manufacturers box (top right on you right column) then you can use what's in there to get your solution. Just edit a line or a section  at a time until the display is what you want

This will give you a dropdown in the same width/style as the ones you already have

<?php ////////////////////////////////////////////////
	 $manufacturers_query = tep_db_query("select manufacturers_name from " . TABLE_MANUFACTURERS . " order by manufacturers_name");
	
$content='<div style=" height:20px; width:190px; border:0px solid #cacaca; float:left; padding:3px; margin-bottom:5px; margin-right:2px;">';
$content.='<span style="font-weight:bold; text-transform:uppercase; margin-right:4px;">Your title</span>';
$content.='<select style="width:120px;">
			 <option>(select)</option>';

		 while ($manufacturers = tep_db_fetch_array($manufacturers_query)) {
		 $content .= '<option>'.$manufacturers['manufacturers_name'].'</option>';
}
		 $content.='</select></div>';

	
	 echo $content;

the dropdown you mention can be found in the index.php file in the /catalog/ folder

[melibee]

thanks for the detail but does this work for all the ecommerce site..

[MWebb]

I want to use this menu in the registration from so that customers are able to select which group they belong to to be able to get different discounts (at the moment the group can only be chosen by the administrator) How would I go about adding it to the registration form and edit the code so it relates to that?

[MWebb]

As mentioned in my previous post, I would like to use this drop down as part of the registration form when joining the site. Is it possible to have so that the list displays the types of groups available and then where one group needs to have some information filled in, it won't let you complete the registration until you fill in the details required for that group?
