How do you get the tellafriendbox tag to work with the product_info content template?

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. Jackdog

I too have the same problem!! Will let you know if I figure it out

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?

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

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 :)

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. Jackdog

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: 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

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: 2) How can I customize the product listing pages, eg when I click on a category? To something beautiful like this: Same goes for the shopping cart pages? : 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
