I checked the contributions support thread: http://forums.oscommerce.com/index.php?showtopic=158814 but nothing, it seems dead in the past.
The first problem is pertaining to editing the includes/column_left.php file.
It states to find this:
if ((USE_CACHE == 'true') && empty($SID)) {
echo tep_cache_categories_box();
} else {
include(DIR_WS_BOXES . 'categories.php');
}
Replace with this:
/* Commented out for More Category Boxes contrib
if ((USE_CACHE == 'true') && empty($SID)) {
echo tep_cache_categories_box();
} else {
include(DIR_WS_BOXES . 'categories.php');
}
// More Category Boxes contrib
*/
// More Category Boxes contrib
$default_category_box_enabled_query = tep_db_query("select configuration_value from " . TABLE_CONFIGURATION . " where configuration_key = 'DEFAULT_CATEGORY_BOX_ENABLED' ");
$default_category_box_enabled = tep_db_fetch_array($default_category_box_enabled_query);
if ($default_category_box_enabled['configuration_value'] == 'true') {
if ((USE_CACHE == 'true') && empty($SID)) {
echo tep_cache_categories_box();
} else {
include(DIR_WS_BOXES . 'categories.php');
}
}
include(DIR_WS_BOXES . 'more_categories.php');
// More Category Boxes contrib.
Problem is that the bm_categories.php has this bit of code (only thing I can find similar):
if ((USE_CACHE == 'true') && empty($SID)) {
$output = tep_cache_categories_box();
} else {
$output = $this->getData();
}
New file to upload which is related; includes/boxes/more_categories.php
With my very, very limited knowledge, is this something that can be made to work?
