  1. Ok, I figured out the firefox thing! I think ;)

     

    I am using STS and found that I had this (below) in my catalog/product_info.php

     

    <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="stylesheet.css">

    <script type="text/javascript" src="includes/js/prototype.js"></script>

    <script type="text/javascript" src="includes/js/scriptaculous.js?load=effects"></script>

    <script type="text/javascript" src="includes/js/lightbox.js"></script>

     

    as well as my STS_template.html

     

    I removed it from the product_info.php and BAM!

    No more funny looking lightbox in firefox!

     

    Hope it helps.

  2. Hi Bill (and others).

     

    Hey, I have everything going now but I have just added in the secure server and it is coming up with the "some items are not secure" message (that windows spits out) - which is all the images. Even does this for the view cart page (none of my other OSC sites go secure for view cart). Anyhow, that is not a problem, so long as I can get rid of the non secure items. Is this STS? I am assuming it is cause this is the first time I have used STS (as if you had not figured that already!). I am using a shared SSL. Any advice?

     

    Thanks again

    I am having the same problem as you Denz.

    All my image paths are "images/image.gif" they are not "www.mysite.com/catalog/images/image.gif" - I believe this is the most common cause of this.

    Does this also apply to links?

  3. Ryan,

     

    I don't have time at the moment to give a detailed response but in short you need to manually edit the code or install a contribution to do it for you (no matter if you buy a template or not you will still need to do this.

     

    Take a look at the following contributions:

    Hope this helps,

     

    Thanks Bill,

     

    I have tried those but will try a bit harder.

    If I really cant do it, can you do the changes? I'll pay you via soundsgoodpro/paypal?

     

    Kind regards

  4. I have uploaded STSv4.5.8 that includes RC2 files for an easy "copy over".

     

    I also updated the STS User Manual, each STS Module configuration text as well as the install.html page.

     

    I hope everyone finds it useful,

     

    Hi Bill,

     

    Once again, I'm sorry to seem so impatient. I don't know why I make my life so difficult(telling my dad I'd have an online store ready by the end of this week! - silly me)

    I'm happy with everything else, about 35 other contributions added to my test site. yay!

    Today I'm taking the test site down and starting fresh knowing what works and what doesn't :)

     

    Have you had a chance to look at my last post?

    Is this possible with sts?

    If the answer is too long to tell me how, may I seek your professional services? (at the going rate of coarse :)

     

    Its just that if I cant figure it out, I have to scrap my last 5 days of work and buy an overpriced old template($174!!!) - as you can imagine, I don't want to do that.

     

    Keep up the good work :)

  5. Can I use STS to integrate OSCommerce into my website without having to change my website around at the mercy of OSCommerce templates?

     

    I just want to be able to use simple tags or code as placeholders for add to cart, and so on, to make it fit on my page, which is very, very simple.

     

    Thanks!

     

    Yes Scubyfan You can!

    If you already have a static content website template to work with, you can do this.

    Basically by adding a link to the oscommerce index page from your static site. (eg online store)

    You then make the sts_template.html file exactly like your existing site so it appears that the customer never left the original site.

    You add the placeholders and code to the sts_template.html file and it works!

    Its a little bit tricky, but definitly can be done.

    I recommend dreamweaver for this.

  6. Sorry....I forgot to list the new language defines for that code to work.

    Place the following code just before the last ?> (second to last line) of the includes/languages/engish.php file:

     

    // STS Show Cart In Header
    define('ENTRY_HCART_EMPTY', 'Your cart is empty');
    define('ENTRY_HCART_CONTAINS', 'You have ');
    define('ENTRY_HCART_ITEM', '<a href="shopping_cart.php" class="trailText">item in your cart</a>');
    define('ENTRY_HCART_ITEMS', '<a href="shopping_cart.php" class="trailText">items in your cart</a>');
    define('ENTRY_HCART_PRICE', '');

     

    Sorry about that. :blush:

     

    Now that new $headcart tag will act like it should. :thumbsup:

     

    Thanks so so much, the shopping cart works brilliantly!

    I really appreciate your help.

    Hope you don't mind if I ask a few more?

     

    1) The currencies box(using the placeholder from sts) has a white box around it, or so it seems and it is pushing my table and making it bigger than I want. Is there any way of changing this so it is just the (narrower) currency box?

    2) I would like to customize the product listing page,(ie. when you click on a category)

    from the default to a nice 2x2 like this:

    product-listing2.jpg

    is this possible with STS? or another way?

    I would also like to apply this to the specials page?

     

    I know its alot of questions - I have an ever enquiring mind

     

    Thanks again

    Ryan

  7. Hi there Bill (or anyone who can help me:),

     

    Firstly, thanks so much for this contribution, it truly makes oscommerce so much better!

     

    I have a few questions:

     

    1) How can I get the number of items in the shopping cart - in the form of a text placeholder?

    so instead of having the cartbox, I can just have something like this: number-of-items.jpg

     

    2) How can I customize the product listing pages, eg when I click on a category?

    To something beautiful like this: product-listing.jpg

    Same goes for the shopping cart pages? : cart.jpg

    Are there placeholders to use for these pages or another way of tweaking them?

     

    3) One last one :)

    If I'd like to put the specials on the home page, in a nice custom 2X2 like the picture above, how would I do this?

     

    Thanks in advance
