You need to finish unpacking the file. It's double compressed, so just run your uncompress utility on the .tar file and it should give you the package. Or get a better program to unpack archives -- most will do the double unpack automatically.

I use theme switcher for about a year now and have about 15 themes on 1 site, now I don't remember how I got them their. what file are the themes store in?

[kymation]

Themes are in catalog/ext/jquery/ui/. The Theme Switcher instructions tell you how to get and install more themes.

Hi,
I would like to know if there would be a way to change the code in Theme Switcher in order to have Google API references and let Google host the Jquery files.

I am using a Shared SSL and the file size limit is around 100kb per files. If the files are to big, some of the objects or icons will not show up on my webpage.

I know there is this mod on this post that you can do when not using Theme Switcher:

http://www.css-oscommerce.com/cut-page-load-time-in-oscommerce-2-3-osc-to-css/

but the required code needing to be replaced are the one needed to be deleted by Theme Switcher:

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="ext/jquery/ui/redmond/jquery-ui-1.8.6.css" />
<script type="text/javascript" src="ext/jquery/jquery-1.4.2.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="ext/jquery/ui/jquery-ui-1.8.6.min.js"></script>

To replace the Jquery references in OSCommerce 2.3 open:
includes/template_top.php
replace:

<script type="text/javascript" src="ext/jquery/jquery-1.4.2.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="ext/jquery/ui/jquery-ui-1.8.6.min.js"></script>

with:

<script type="text/javascript" src="<?php echo (isset($_SERVER['HTTPS']) && (strtolower($_SERVER['HTTPS']) == 'on') ? 'https://' : 'http://') . 'ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.4.2/jquery.min.js'; ?>"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="<?php echo (isset($_SERVER['HTTPS']) && (strtolower($_SERVER['HTTPS']) == 'on') ? 'https://' : 'http://') . 'ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jqueryui/1.8.6/jquery-ui.min.js'; ?>"></script>

Any ideas on how to modify the code in Theme Switcher to have Google host the Jquery files?

Cheers

Dan

You can use version 1.1 of Theme Switcher. That version does not replace the jQuery and jQuery UI header tags.

Be careful to use the https includes correctly with the Google files. Also note that Google is sometimes slow, and that will slow your site response.

Thanks Jim,

Is version 1.1 compatible with OSC 2.3.1?

Also, how would I do the downgrade?
Undo everything from the instructions or just upload the files for version 1.1?

Thanks
Dan

[kymation]

Theme Switcher only works with osC 2.3.1. No ohter versions are supported.

Uninstall Theme Switcher from the Admin, then upload all of the files over the existing files. If you have made other changes to your template_top.php, you'll have to patch that by hand, just like a new install.

Jim

Hi, thanks for this contribution, it's terrific. I have one slight little issue that's driving me batty...my buttons for 'cart content' 'checkout' 'my account' have all disappeared and are now just text links (see pic).
If I use the firefox tool, they'll show up when I browse different calendar themes, but when I download and install one, they are still missing like in the pic, no matter what theme I use. At first they were showing up fine when the default redmond was selected, so being the cool guy that I am, I thought I'd trick the system by renaming and replacing my custom images in the redmond images folder with mine.. but they dissapeared now on redmond. I even replaced all the redmond images back just as they were in the contribuion zip but they still don't show up anymore lol.  
2.3.1 store, current version of the contribution, no other mods installed.

Thanks

That is caused by either missing jQuery/jQuery UI files or by a version mismatch. Check that you have the latest version of those files and the filenames match the names in template_top.php. See the User's Manual for instructions.

Hi. The problem Im having is that the drop down menus do not appear in the admin module. It shows me all the js versions, and that the Redmond theme is loaded..

[kymation]

The pulldown is generated by tep_cfg_pull_down_themes() which is in admin/includes/functions/modules/header_tags/theme_switcher.php. Is that file in the correct location?

Nope! Thats the one file I missed..

thats what I get for trying to install something in the middle of the night when I should be sleeping. Thanks Ill give it a go now! Apologies for asking about something I should have easily read in the manual. I even re-read it 4 times but I must have been confusing it with admin/includes/modules/...

In regards to this issue. Ive used the template_top.php as provided in the add-on, but I think its removed the reference to jquery version.. Should I be bothering with that file or is it the module that controls this now?

Ive tried downloading and setting in the module, AND using the default OSC template_top.php and changing it in there, to no avail.


Ive put jquery (1.7.1.min.js) in /ext/jquery/  

and then (ui-1.8.17.min.js)into the /ext/jquery/ui  folder

Ive set these in the module as 1.7.1 and 1.8.17

I lose all theme formatting, whether in redmond or ui-darkness.

Am I missing something here?

[kymation]

Yes, the module now controls the jQuery and jQuery UI version numbers. Use version 1.1 if you don't want this.

The files must be named EXACTLY as in the instructions. Variations will not work. Check your filenames, then use View Source in your browser to check the filename it is calling for. In Firefox you can click on the filenames in View Source and see if the file is being called correctly.

Jim

Seems to be all sorted now.

Thanks a million for your advice and a really great contribution!

Jim,
The error on line 138 was the translation I was doing.
But what I meant. The opening of the datepicker remains.
He does not open to the themes made with ThemeRoller.
Only with the original theme done in 1.8.6.
Thanks

yes,same problem with me..i bought oscommerce template at businesstemplatestore.com and get error. I'm contacting with webmaster to fix it. while get anwser, i found this topic and hope have a new solution

The answer is the same as I gave the person you quoted. If that doesn't work for you, the problem is with your template. Ask your template supplier for support.

I can get my themes to show up in the admin panel, but when I select them it doesn't change the website. What am I doing wrong?

[kymation]

The most likely cause is failing to make the changes to template_top.php. Don't forget to force a reload of your browser to see the changes.

Regards
Jim

[whitewolfspirits]

I did that but there is no formatting at all on my page now. reptees.com Any help would be appreciated
