Okay, it was the monitor... I'm getting the internet this saturday!

:ph34r: Sorry again everyone, I know lots of people want this contrib, but RL issues are keeping me at bay. either the monitor or the video card I got is broken, so I've got to figure that out, then we'll see.. thanks for waiting! Jon

azer: yes, this contrib allows you to add a bottom box, and also specify a background image, and change the size of the box/header/footer images for your infoboxes. UPDATE: I finally purchased the rest of my computer parts, they should all arrive within a week of today (10/10/03) - then my following paycheck (20th) I should get internet, so I'll start working on it then :) Thanks for your patience everyone! Jon Hughes

make sure that you upload all the files that came with the contrib. I had the same problem.

The problem with that is that I've already added quite a few other contribs to my files (like infobox admin and such) and I've also done quite a bit of misc editing, figuring out what does what, so many of my files will be different... I know where the main changes are, however, so I'l just re-add them to a new MS2 download, and distribute it that way. That sound alright to everyone? I could also add the code into the readme, of course, for those of you that already have contribs loaded into the files that need to be edited.

Well, I'm really sorry to burst everyone's bubble, but I can't compile it for probably at least 2 more weeks :( I recently sold my computer (it was an E-Machine, I just couldn't take it) so now I don't have one, except at work. I'm building one right now, but I don't have sufficient funds to complete it. I already have the box, the video card, and the CDRW drive, which leaves a lot to be had... I'm planning on buying the motherboard and CPU today, and in two weeks, when I get my next paycheck, I may be able to buy the rest. So until I get my next paycheck, I wont even be able to work on it :-/ Sorry again everyone.

:: shrugs :: Well.... alright! I'll start compiling it into an easy(or close to it) to implement contrib... now to go back and find out what exactly I edited :rolleyes: Thanks for the support everyone :)

the contrib can be found at http://www.oscommerce.com/community/contributions,1175/Nevermind, I found it... it was hidden in the file structure of the contrib, but not mentioned in the readme :-/ Thanks!

When I go to admin -> configuration, I get this at the top of my page: Warning: main(includes/boxes/info_boxes.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /hsphere/local/home2/nrglinxw/rfstorm.com/catalog/admin/includes/column_left.php on line 21 Fatal error: main(): Failed opening required 'includes/boxes/info_boxes.php' (include_path='.:/usr/local/lib/php') in /hsphere/local/home2/nrglinxw/rfstorm.com/catalog/admin/includes/column_left.php on line 21 I did a search in my oscommerce folder, and couldn't find any info_boxes.php file, anywhere.... anyone know why it's calling for this file, and how I can fix it? --- the contrib name is Info Box Display v1.0, sorry.

it allows you to add a header, footer, and background image for all your infoboxes.

Finally! It's up! Thanks for your patience everyone! :) -- Jon

Sorry everyone, my hoster is giving me trouble, I should have it up soon!

First, I want to thank you guys for keeping me on the hard road :-P I asked for easy ways out several times and they were never given to me ;) So I made this myself: www.rfstorm.com/catalog/ I used the kingcoffee contrib as a base for almost all of my coding, then I modified it to have a bottom graphic, and had a huge pain figuring out how the file structure was, but I'm far better off now :) Anyway, would anyone download this contribution if I compiled it all nice? I can't remember half the files I modified to get it to work, but I'll figure something out if there's enough demand for it. Thanks again everyone, Jon Hughes

I'm just curious if anyone knows if there's somewhere I can get a pre-compiled template.. like several contributions already installed, because I don't know all that much about PHP or databases, and I'm having a hack of a time just installing two contribs onto the same file :-P I'm only looking for contribs related to ease-of-use for the admin, like the header/footer changer along with the infobox hider one, and that kind of stuff... I don't mean to sound like I want to take advantage of anyone elses hard work, but I figured, if the whole thing is open source, and there's this many people involved, surely someone has the files :-P Thanks everyone.

okay :) Thank you
