  1. Hey Bill...I am replying through someone else's thread because I'm wondering if the problems I'm encountering (which started ever since I transferred my site over) is related to this other guy's problem (above). By the way, I recognize my last post was loaded with questions and your probably very busy, so no rush if you can't get around to it any time soon. Besides, I have a feeling alot of these issues will be resolved if I figure this one thing out. Anyway, you told me to check out my configurations in the 2 configure.php files. I thought it was pointed correctly, but perhaps there is something wrong. I did notice that on my old site, it would go as follows: www.mysitename/catalog/whatever_file _'m looking_at. Is it supposed to be in that order? Because this time around, it goes: www.foxysally.com//whatever_file_I'm looking_at...and for some reason, it does have 2 slashes after foxysally.com. Could this have something to do with the fact that my buttons aren't showing up and why some of my images are broken as well? Perhaps I installed the site wrong? -Leah
  2. So I just want to be sure...it does work for the RC2 version?
  3. oops...sorry...posted in the wrong place...I was posting this regarding the ultrapics contribution...so I re-posted there.
  4. Does this work for RC2? If not, could anyone recommend a good image contribution that does (and that is compatable with STS)? Leah
  5. If it doesn't, could anyone recommend a good image contribution that does (and is compatable to STS)? thanx. Leah
  6. Thank You Bill...thank you for introducing that Developer Toolbar to me. I didn't know they had something like that for IE. Anyway, I did figure out the problem with not centering, but still finagling w/ the images issue. I thought that when you transfer all your databases over that somehow your images would transfer over too, so I think that is why the images (the product images anyway) are broken. I am ftp-ying them over right now, so we'll see if that fixes that. I think that the button images problem is a whole separate issue though. I did check in the configure.php file and everything seems to be pointing correctly. I thought that maybe it was a permissions problem but the permissions are set as the same as before at my other domain. To link my images using the $templatedir tag as you described, where might I put that piece of code to make that work (sorry you have to be real specific with me since I'm still such a newbie at this)? 1. While I'm at it, perhaps you could help me with a couple of small issues. There must have been some things I didn't do right when transferring over a site to this new domain because it seems that some things are off ever since I did that. One other issue is that I changed the color of the boxes to pink before I transferred my site over and the change was applied to all the boxes. But now, I am trying to re-size those little corners located in ...sts_templates/full/boxes/infobox.php.html ('corner_left.gif' & 'corner_right.gif'). All of them have re-sized correctly with exception to the 'manufacturers' box and the 'categories' box and I can't seems to figure out why (I did install that catalog add-on that lists the categories as an unordered list...perhaps that might have something to do w/ it, but the manufacturer box is having the same problem though). 2. I would like to add an image above the 'tell-a-friend' form inside the 'tell-a-friend' box. Where might I add that image? Would I have to add it in the actual script; in the ...includes/boxes/tell_a_friend.php file? 3. How can I change the text 'Shopping Cart' to say 'My Cart' in the header of the shopping cart box? 4. And last thing...I noticed in my admin that in the Default Module, the Default template File is set to 'sts_template.html', however when I make changes to that file, nothing happens. But when I make changes to the index.php.html template file, the changes are applied. So it seems that even though the module is set to use 'sts_template.html', it's not using it and only using index.php.html which is really weird. Is this suppose to happen? I'm wondering if this could be why I'm encountering some of the problems I'm having. Sorry to jump around so much. This is my ADD in action. :) -Leah
  7. Thank You Bill...got it to work... got just acouple other questions. For the life of me, I can't figure out how to center my $content area on my home page (sts_template.html) or my new costumes.php.html page I created. I made sure to set the middle <td> to 100% and centered it...also double checked the cell padding & cellspacing to see if that's the problem and didn't see anything there...am I missing something? (it's probably right in front of my nose) Also, I've spent hours trying to get my buttons to show and can't seem to figure it out. If you see on www.foxysally.com, you'll see that all the buttons are broken. I created some directories as the instructions say in the sts manual to place the buttons in ...sts_templates/full/images/english/buttons, but they are still not showing up. I also placed them in includes/languages/english/images/buttons to see if that'd work, but still nothing. It might be worth noting that I recently transferred all my mysql databases over from my other website and since doing that, I can't preview the images in my admin when I add them to my product listings, however I can see them on the actual public website. I just thought I'd throw that in there since maybe that could be related to this other image issue I'm having, but I don't know. Leah
  8. I am having the same issue. ...exactly as you. I also have STS. I did exactly as you...and getting no result.
  9. Hey Bill, I added that add-on and I have my new page for 'Costumes', but how do I add all the infoboxes to the new page?
  10. Thank you Bill...I've been out of internet for a week, so I just got your message. I will download that add-on today. Thanks again for your support! Leah
  11. Thank You Bill. I got it to work, but I'm not sure if I did it the correct way, so I'll try that. I'm wondering if you could help me with another issue...I'm trying to create another page with different icons that link to different costume categories. I got it to work by creating the page costumes.php.html, but only by putting it in the /catalog/ directory but I thought our new page(s) should be in the .../full directory. I tried that, but it's not working. Also, when I try to link the images (or icons) on that new page, it seems that none of the php code is working. Click on 'costumes' on www.foxysally.com...you can see that the new page is there, but trying to link those images to my catalog pages aren't working. leah
  12. Hey Bill...I don't blame you for not wanting to respond to my last questions or maybe you overlooked them perhaps. Frankly, I was being a little lazy and didn't read all the information you provided me with. I think I was getting a little ahead of myself, which sometimes I tend to do. I finally read the forum link you gave me for the flash info. I am not sure what the problem I was encountering before was, so I thought it'd be safe to just start over with a fresh clean install, which I did. After doing the clean install, I followed the instructions you had from this link you gave me (http://www.oscommerce.com/forums/index.php?sho...p;#entry1298555). Just for my own knowledge, what is the difference between referring to this javascript file for your flash rather than just placing the flash itself on the index.php.html page? Anyway, it works. I was able to get the flash on the page, but still having trouble linking my flash objects. I gave up on trying to get the flash left nav. menu up and just went with regular images for left nav. links instead, which actually I'm pretty happy with (www.foxysally.com). But I'm hoping there is a way to create a horizontal flash menu in the header successfully, hoping that it might be easier to do since the pages I'm linking to aren't catalog pages. For my link to the $urlmyaccount page, Here is the code I entered in into the index.php.html page: <td> <a href="$urlmyaccount"> <OBJECT classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,0,0" width="125" height="30"> <PARAM name="movie" value="images/flash/button_myaccount.swf"> <PARAM name="allowScriptAccess" value="always"> <EMBED src="images/flash/button_myaccount.swf" quality="best" menu="true" width="125" height="30" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" allowScriptAccess="always"> </EMBED></OBJECT></a> </td> <td class="styleFlash"> <script type="text/javascript" src="$templatedir/flash/swfobject.js"></script> <div id="flashcontent"><OBJECT classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,0,0" width="210" height="30"> <PARAM name="movie" value="images/flash/emailme.swf"> <PARAM name="allowScriptAccess" value="always"> <EMBED src="images/flash/emailme.swf" quality="best" menu="true" width="210" height="30" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" allowScriptAccess="always"> </EMBED></OBJECT> </div> <script type="text/javascript"> var so = new SWFObject("images/flash/emailme.swf", "movie", "210", "30", "8", "#ffffff"); so.write("flashcontent"); </script> </td> Did I enter in the "a href" in the wrong place? If you go to my new tester site: www.foxysally.com, you can see that I got the "my account" flash button to appear, but the link isn't working. Thank you so much! Leah
  13. Hey Bill...might you know how I can fix this? I'm getting this message when I go to my website... Fatal error: Class 'infoBoxHeaderHeading' not found in /home2/shessofo/public_html/nomoreuglyjars/catalog/includes/boxes/shopping_cart.php on line 19 Sincerely, Leah
  14. ok...I took 2 steps foward and 3 steps back it seems. Scratch everything I wrote above. I just decided to overwite all the MS2 files w/ the RC1 files to make it easy...and then re-did the manual edits. But,now when I go to the www.nomoreuglyjars.com website, I'm getting a blank page that says this on the top: Fatal error: Class 'infoBoxHeaderHeading' not found in /home2/shessofo/public_html/nomoreuglyjars/catalog/includes/boxes/shopping_cart.php on line 19 do you know what i did wrong now?
  15. Actually...I did add quite a few items. If I reinstall my osc template, will it wipe all that away, or does it just effect the design of the template? leah
  16. Thank You. I'm glad I asked. It is v2.2 RC1 and I was thinking it was MS2 this whole time. Since I didn't do a whole lot to my design, I'm just going to do another clean install all over. Do you know if it costs anything to upgrade to the v2.2 RC2'? Does it matter whether you do the upgrade before or after you add STS?
  17. Hey Bill...I'm wondering if I uploaded the correct STS files. I thought that my template is MS2 because the title of my template manual is:'OsCommerce 2.2 Milestone 2...Update 051112', but I noticed that beneath the logo on my website, it's saying 'Online Merchant v2.2 RC1'. Does that mean I must upload the RC1 files instead? leah
  18. oh, shoot...I meant: <a href="$urlproductid1">
  19. ok...sorry if my questions are really stupid here...I'm just trying to get this right...so, I can add this to the includes/modules/sts/sts_inc/sts_user_code.php file: $sts->template['urlproductid1'] = tep_href_link('product_info.php', 'products_id=1&', 'NONSSL'); and then place the button on the index.php.html page like so: <a href="urlproductid1"> <object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,0,0" width="160" height="40"> <param name="movie" value="http://www.nomoreuglyjars.com/catalog/images/skirtsetsbutton.swf">'>http://www.nomoreuglyjars.com/catalog/images/skirtsetsbutton.swf"> <param name="menu" value="false"> <param name="quality" value="high"> <param name="wmode" value="opaque"> <param name="scale" value="noscale"> <embed src="http://www.nomoreuglyjars.com/catalog/images/skirtsetsbutton.swf" menu="false" quality="high" wmode="opaque" scale="noscale" width=160 height=40 type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspace="http://www.macromedia.com/shockwave/download/index.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash"> </embed> </object> Is that what your saying? But, don't I need to put the 'cPath=24' somewhere in there since I thought that that was the thing that references it to the particular category (Mini Skirt Sets) I'm trying to link to? It'll be the day when I get this!! Sometimes I'm a slow learner...sorry.
  20. Thank you. That helps a ton. The flash menu is created in a separate program which allows you to link each button, but when I entered in that code, it still wouldn't work, so I just played with it and got it to work by doing this: <?php echo '<p><a href="' . tep_href_link( '/index.php?cPath=24', 'cPath=1&products_id=1') . '"><object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,0,0" width="160" height="40"> <param name="movie" value="http://www.nomoreuglyjars.com/catalog/images/skirtsetsbutton.swf">'>http://www.nomoreuglyjars.com/catalog/images/skirtsetsbutton.swf"> <param name="menu" value="false"> <param name="quality" value="high"> <param name="wmode" value="opaque"> <param name="scale" value="noscale"> <embed src="http://www.nomoreuglyjars.com/catalog/images/skirtsetsbutton.swf" menu="false" quality="high" wmode="opaque" scale="noscale" width=160 height=40 type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspace="http://www.macromedia.com/shockwave/download/index.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash"> </embed> </object> </a></p>'; ?> ...basically just by wrapping the flash button with the php tags, or by putting these </a></p>'; ?> end tags at the end of the object and not before it. Doing it this way, I'll have to do each button one by one which is no problem it if works. I don't even remember how or where I got this code...can you tell me what 'cPath=1&products_id=1' means? Should that be in there? I am doing all of this in the index.php.html page which your saying doesn't apply the changes to all pages of the site, which is what I'm shooting for. I do want the flash menu to be on all pages, however when I add this code to the sts_template.html page, nothing happens. I double-checked in my admin panel, and I do have my 'Default Template File' set to sts_template.html. So, do you know why my changes aren't showing when I make changes to that sts_template.html file? Am I missing something?
  21. Thank you for sending me that. I was able to print it off with no problem. I love this STS thing!!! If you look on my tester site, www.nomoreuglyjars.com, you can see that I was able to get my leftnav flash menu bar up. I hope I did it right...I just made sure to set (in my admin) 'Use Template for Infoboxes' to 'True' and then in the ...full/index.php.html file, I replaced the $categorybox with the code. I was told that you can link each button without disturbing the php by this: <a href="<?php echo tep_href_link('index.php', 'cPath=21&', 'NONSSL'); ?>">Category Name Here</a> But I'm still not able to link the buttons. But I'm not even sure where to get the actual "Category Name"? For example, for the Mini Skirt Sets, I used: <a href="<?php echo tep_href_link('index.php', 'cPath=21&', 'NONSSL'); ?>">Mini Skirt Sets</a> Is that correct, or might the category name be a numerical instead?
  22. Yeah...got it!!!..I wasn't kidding when I said I am computer-stupid!!! Now, I've just got to read on to see where I go from here. It's not that big of a deal, but if you get a chance, it'd be great to be able to print out the manual. Since I stare at a screen most the day, I take any opportunity to read anywhere other than a computer screen if you know what I mean. Could mabe you email it to me at [email protected] in the pdf format? thanx a million! Leah
  23. I don't know...I'm pretty frustrated...I have re-uploaded and re-edited the files specified in the instruction manual, but still can't see anything. The files seem to match perfectly so I know that the ftp is working correctly. It sais that the module directory is here: Module Directory: /home2/shessofo/public_html/nomoreuglyjars/catalog/includes/modules/sts/ and I noticed that in that .../modules directory, there is only a folder named 'sts_inc', but not 'sts'...not sure if that's significant or not. Usually when I have issues like this, it's something really stupid like syntax errors...can you tell me if when I edited the code, if perhaps I made some kind of error? If I send you my login info, could maybe you take a quick look for me? leah
  24. Hey again Bill...sorry to throw all these 'replies' at you, but the major hump I'm trying to get over is just the basic installation of the STS. This is where I'm at in the installation process: "After installation, STS is disabled. You can enable STS as well as optional features from the admin side, like you do with payment or shipping modules." ...After I log into my admin and when I click on 'modules'...'STS'...all that is there is a string just showing me where my sts file is: Module Directory: /home2/shessofo/public_html/nomoreuglyjars/catalog/includes/modules/sts/ but in the installation instructions it's showing that it should have 4 modules for 'default', 'index', 'product', and 'popup images'.... Might you know what I've done wrong now? Leah
