  1. Nice. It's always a good idea to protect yourself as much as possible when offering services to 3rd parties, but it seems like your taking the scenic route as far as protecting yourself is concerned. I don't understand why you don't ask for a deposit? • Demand a deposit • Have a written agreement with payment terms clearly stated • If necessary, register your IP If the client rips you off, pursue them in writing and inform them that you will take appropriate action. If they don't honour the terms of the contract take them to the small claims court.
  2. Thanks for your reply Sorry, but I'm having difficulty understanding which direction I should take at this point. I'm sure that other people must be in the same position. I need to make a choice between uninstalling the register_globals contribution and using the official PayPal module, or keeping the globals disabled and using the US PayPal module.... 1. The register_globals_v1.5 instructions start with: The above makes sense to me, so I have installed the contribution. I want my site to be as secure as possible. 2. The official PayPal Payment Pro module's instructions contain the following line: I have spoken to PayPal who (obviously) told me to use their version. If I do so am I creating a less secure site? If I choose to use the non-official developer version is there a risk that the US API will stop processing UK payments in the future? Are there future plans to integrate the UK API in your version? The various bits of info seem to contradict one another, any advice will be greatly appreciated.
  3. Thanks for the reply. I'm happy to use which ever version (either the official PayPal or the dev version for this forum), but I still need to know if it will work with register globlas disabled. Does the dev version work with the UK API and register gloabls disabled?
  4. I want to add PayPal payments pro (UK) with PWA. I've downloaded the official version from PayPal. The instructions say: ...You will need to turn on register_globals and enable the mysql extension in php.ini, at a minimum.... However, I have already added the "register_globals_v1.5" contribution to disable register globals for security reasons. Can I still install the contribution? Will it still work?
  5. 1. No 2. Edit the "root(catalog) > index.php" file.
  6. Hi Bkellum I just though I'd re-ask the question directly as I can't find the answer elswhere: I've installed STS and everything appears to work correctly except for the content on the index page. • I've created the index page as per the instructions (includes > sts_templates > myTemplate > index.php.html), using the $content variable/placeholder for the main content area. • I've created the conent to replace the $content variable (includes > sts_templates > myTemplate > content > index.php.html The problem is that osCommerce is ignoring the new content and using the original content instead. Please can you tell me why it doesn't work? I have found a work around by editing the content in the root > index.php file, but this seems wrong given that I have already installed STS? Thanks
  7. The 2 options are to either design your site as a fixed width or as variable width to stretch across the entire browser window. If your design is fixed width (as you seem to be suggesting), you need to consider the minimum monitor resolution that the site will be seen on. I try not to discount anybody from seeing my sites, so I generally design with an 800 x 600 monitor in mind. For this reason it's is common practice to design fixed width sites at about 760px wide. I'm fairly new to osCommerce so I'm not sure how easily it lends itself to fixed height. Given that the content is dynamic (and therefore variable lenght) I would recommend making the height 100% rather than a fixed amount. Hope that helps.
  8. I worked it out. You need to edit all of the following files: catalog > includes > languages > english.php catalog > includes > languages > english > index.php catalog > index.php I think that STS was designed to avoid having to do this (hunt down several files & make lots of edits), but I can't get the index page to work as I want with STS.... I've tried everything!
  9. I did. I commented out everything pretty much, but the item sthat you listed above only affect the table headings and not the tables themselves. I have no idea where the table is coming from. This is what I have done: define('TEXT_MAIN', ''); //define('TEXT_MAIN', 'This is a default setup of the osCommerce project, products shown are for demonstrational purposes, <b>any products purchased will not be delivered nor will the customer be billed</b>. Any information seen on these products is to be treated as fictional.<br><br><table border="0" width="100%" cellspacing="5" cellpadding="2"><tr><td class="main" valign="top">' . tep_image(DIR_WS_IMAGES .

  10. Thanks for the reply. Yeah, I found the same page before installing STS, but I can't work out how to avoid having the new products for this month on the page. I can see the code for the table header which I have commented out, but it doesn't affect the table and contents. Any ideas how to remove this? Seems weird that the index.php.html in the contents folder doesn't work correctly. Cheers
  11. Hi Weavers I'm having exactly the same issue and I'm yet to find a work around. Have you managed to resolve the problem yet? I tried with a static index.php page to avoid adding the osCommerce generated content, but as you have described the category navigation stopped working (it appears where it should on the page and seems to be functional, but doesn't populate the page). I then tried adding the $content variable to the inde.php.html page which added the standard generated index blurbb & the new products for the current month. Not what I was looking for!! I then created an index.php.html file for just the content area and placed it in the "sts_template > myTemplate > content" folder.... didn't work either! I have been through the instructions several times and it appears that this is the correct way to setup the files, but no joy. If anybody has any ideas I'd really appreciate some help with this. Thanks
  12. STS rocks! I've recently installed osCommerce for the first time and I'm trying to create a shop that doesn't really look anything like osCommerce out of the box - STS is helping to find my feet. I'm stuck on one issue though: How do I replace the $content for the index page? I want to use static images and some embedded Flash on the home page for specific promotions I have created custom layouts for the product listing pages by placing the layout in the following folder: sts_templates > myTemplate > content > product_info.php.html However, if I add index.php.html to the same folder it doesn't seem to work: sts_templates > myTemplate > content > index.php.html Am I missing something? How can I change the contents of the index page? Thanks
