ok yea, and i TRIED this code which was in the contributions section of this site: Column Banner Contrib. but when i enter the code in column_right.php, i get a T-STRING error which i KNOW should not happen. Did i put it in the wrong place? there is much for instructions on the contrib.

I have to admit, i am SLIGHTLY confused about the banner manager. I know that there are some banners already in place in the basic oscommerce site, like the footer has this code: <?php if ($banner = tep_banner_exists('dynamic', '468x50')) { ?> <br> <table border="0" width="100%" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"> <tr> <td align="center"><?php echo tep_display_banner('static', $banner); ?></td> </tr> </table> <?php } ?> So i figured if i put that code in the column_right.php and changed the parameters, like alignment and all and put it inside of an infobox it would work.. BUT IT DIDNT I am not sure what I did wrong, so i was HOPING someone could help me with this. I really would like to have different banners around my site that link within my own site. I basically figured out HOW to get the banners from the manager to the page, but i need to figure out how to combine them with the different parts of the site. If you visit my website, you will see where my EDUCATIONAL LINKS banner is the the bottom of the site, where the footer is. The thing is, i want this banner on the right column somewhere below the cart contents and best sellers. I just put it there because I wanted to play and see how it all worked. THANKS

Can ANYONE help me with this. The only contribution i could find was out of date andthe creater said they were offering no support on it.

anyone?

I have a question. My website is going to sell pet supplies. I know that i can add some forums to the account page, and I would like the customers to tell me what kind of pet they have, so if i use check boxes for DOGS CATS REPTILES SMALL ANIMAL BIRDS EXOTICS, is there a way to get a list of email addresses for JUST people who own dogs, or JUST people who own cats? Is this an added contribution? I already installed the constant contact contribution, but i dont see how that one does anything like that. I would like to be able to send out newsletters that are more specific to each customer, so people who own dogs get a newsletter with some info about dog care or products with a dog supplies coupon, ecty.

thanks a bunch for that response. As soon as i get home i am going to try it. I basically did everything up there that you said except change to 16 colors and add the code.. I just wasn't sure if simple typing .ico would be the correct way to create that kind of a file! THANKS!

WOO HOO.. It works wonderfully!! THANKS EVERYONE!!!

oh yea, is there a way to contact the maker of the contribution and let them know it would be helpful to add another step to RENAME the files after they are added to the file manager???

OMG thank you soo much!!! So far so good.. i atleast know that it works on the admin side.. i am now going to try to use it from a customer;s side and see where i get.. THANKYOU THANKYOU THANKYOU!!!!

thanks. I THOUGH that was the case, and the instructions were very easy to understand once someone explained a few things to me, but i didn't want to start changing file names just incase i messed anything up!!! Thanks! I'm going to try that now and see where it gets me.

Ok, thanks to the help of everyone on here *Coopco espcially* have made it so that i was able to integrate the CONSTANT CONTACT contribution to my website.. Here is my problem now.. and hopefully it is my last problem.. I uploaded the files to the proper site, made the changes to the code exactly the way it said to.I now am getting an ERROR PAGE NOT FOUND when i click the constant contact link in my ADMIN section.... but that made me notice a little discrepancy. the names of the files that i uploaded were called admin.constant_contact.php and english.constant_contact.php -- those are the names that the files came with. NOW the code that it tells me to put in is the following: '<a href="' . tep_href_link(FILENAME_CONSTANT_CONTACT, '', 'NONSSL') . '" class="menuBoxContentLink">' . BOX_CONSTANT_CONTACT . '</a><br>' shouldn't it be: '<a href="' . tep_href_link(FILENAME_ADMIN.CONSTANT_CONTACT, '', 'NONSSL') . '" class="menuBoxContentLink">' . BOX_CONSTANT_CONTACT . '</a><br>' the same thing with this code: define('FILENAME_CONSTANT_CONTACT', 'constant_contact.php'); shouldn't it be: define('FILENAME_ENGLISH.CONSTANT_CONTACT', 'constant_contact.php'); it just doesn't seem like any of the codes point to the actual file names.. But again, i am new at this and i could have done something wrong myself.

ok on my hostmonter cpanel it only gives me the options for 077 NOT 0777 I am not exactly sure why, as i have not dealt with file permissions AT ALL but when i opened the file permissions window, i was pretty easy to figure out.. these are my current settings.. Are they ok for my use?? __________user group world Read_______-_______x______x Write_______-_______x______x Execute_____-_______x______x Permission___0______ 7______7

ok, i am going to look around in my file manager on HOSTMONSTER.. If you have used hostmonster, or anyone else has.. maybe you can help me find it more quickly..

ok, so i just tried to see if i can see anything about a file attriubute when i created the file in dreamweaver, but the only thing i could get that was even close to attributes was Design Notes, but that does not let me les any attributes.. I hope you can expand more... THANKS

i use my dreamweaver program as my FTP. I can obviously create a new file in file manager, but i do prefer to do things in dreamweaver though.. The part of your answer that i do not understand is this part: CHMOD is resttong read write and execute attributes on folders and / or files. Using your ftp program, right click what you want to change permissions on. There should be something like file attribute (depending on your ftp program) and it will be obvious. can you put it in more laymens terms?? I am going to try to play around with it and see if dreamweaver will allow me to mess with file attributes - hopefully it will answer my question.. but i would love it if you can expand on that part.

I AM PRETTY SURE ITS AN EASY ANSWER.. CAN SOMEONE JUST HELP ME OUT PLEASE.

anyone got a quick answer for me?

Ok, so i learned how to actually search this site and already found the answer to my own question.. Is there a way to upload my emails to a constant contact account.. Thats a big YES!!! So i downloaded THIS CONTRIBUTION for the email address export. I am really trying to do this on my own and I read the instructions and got the files in the right spot, but I am having some problems understanding what these following instructions are telling me to do. These are the instructions: create directory under your /catalog/admin folder called maildumps, i.e you'll get /catalog/admin/maildumps structure chmod maildumps to 0777 When they say create a directory, do they mean just an open file? How do i create a directory? and what is "chmod maildumps to 0777" Thats about it.. please forgive if it's a stupid question, but i am new at this and although i understand most of the html they are telling me to change, but i am new at the language of web building THANKS

what kinda of changes are you suggesting i make in my HTML code?

on a mac, .ico files are not supported so you need some kind of program that will change a .gif to a .ico. Also, i can not find the original favicon so that i can replace it. I thought that if i just made the new one and saved it with the same name that it would automatically update it, but for some reason that hasn't worked.

I have a mac, so i guess i have issues with .ico files because they are a windows file. NOW, i found this "plugin" for photoshop which will help me to easily create .ico files directly with photoshop. I have been having issues in trying to change my favicon and i think that it has to do with the way in which i saved my file. I HAVE NOT TRIED THIS YET!!!!!!!!!!!!! can someone please tell me if they have used this [plugin before and if so, is it worth it?? PHOTO SHOP .ICO PLUGIN THANKS!

I really didnt think it would be much different than the ROUND UP contribution i came by while looking for it. Unfortunately the ROUND UP contribution only rounded up the amount but did not put the "change" anywhere so there is no way to track what needs to be donated at a later date. Well, if anyone has some time on their hands, let me know if you come up with something!

I would LOVE to see a module that will give the customer the opportunity to round their purchase up to the nearest dollar and donate the change to a charity. They do this at my local pet store where you purchase items and the total with tax is $57.23 and they have the option to round it up to $58.00 and donate the $0.77 to the North Shore Animal League. I have learned that with having that option, people are more likely to donate the "change" because its just easier with an even dollar amount any ways rather than chosing to add a donation "product" to their cart and paying a dollar.. Is there anything like this out here>

I have already successfully added 1 product with multiple pictures, so now i am adding my second product and when i click on BROWSE to add my image, and then click preview, the picture is not coming up in the preview.. then if i go to where the product is, it says IMAGE DOES NOT EXIST.. What did i do wrong? I believe i have a contrib added which allows me to upload pictures from the edit product page and it automatically creates a folder and a path and three alternative images.. I wish i had more info as to what the exact contrib it is, but i had to hire someone to do all that, as i am not very good with php. This is my first ecommerce site The website is www.furryfamilysupplies.com if you click on Small animals>sugar gliders>cage pouchs/bedding you will see a producted called the blossom pouch. THAT is the product which i am having issues with. there is an image uploaded to it, but when i look at it in the edit page under admin, the path is correct but it says IMAGE DOES NOT EXIST and only the alternative text shows up.

the images seem to be working fine for me. Do you mind telling me how you fixed it because i am having the same problem. I have the multiple image upload contrib. which automatically makes the paths and such, but when i upload the image under the Edit Product page, and i preview it, it only shows the alternative text and it says IMAGE DOES NOT EXIST, however it is in my file manager under the path that it's supposed to be.. oh yea, heres my website www.furryfamilysupplies.com
