  1. Looking for a way to make the breadcrumb header bar span the full 960 width of the content page, best i can get is 950 pixels. Tried adding padding, that really messes things up! I know it's some easy change taht i just can't figure out.. PLEASE HELP, before this issue finds me boarding the crazy train!!!!

     

    Here is the store (in-progress): www.discountegauges.com

     

     

    Thanks,

     

    Timmy C

     

    Move it to underneath the header

  2. hello ! first off all please apologize about my bad english - also im newby here , and not so sure if this is the correct place to post this question:

     

     

     

    i installed an simple free template on oscommerce 2.3. downloaded all files. found all the pictures to modify the layout (inside ext/jquery/ui/redmond/images) and ,change it to my new layout.

     

    it worked all ok - the only problem is when i refresh i can see the original layout without all my changes for some seconds (very fast) then it loads all my changes. - this old images doesnt exist anymore - i changed my layout inserting my new images inside the old images, changing the original files and uploading it. also made a search already in the whole website files and there is no copy of this old stuff anywhere. also i did try already to load in different computers at my house and to clean all my browsers cash memory files and still had the same error.

     

    actually the problem happens specific to one image that is used in the whole website - the name of the image is ui-bg_gloss-wave_55_5c9ccc_500x100 - i think it cames with the original layout in oscommerce 2.3

     

    someone knows whats happening ?

     

    heres the link to see my test at web with the problem http://www.balancasmodelo.com.br/shop/index.php

     

    really thanx anyone who can give me a little light in this problem to help :)

     

    press ctrl+F5 (refreshes your browsser and removes the cache files)

  3. Just to clarify.

     

    With USU5 PRO the cache is independent of the URI strategies so you don't need to reset the USU5 cache if you change strategy.

     

    BUT if osCommerce has cached e.g. the categories then you will need to reset the osCommerce cache.

     

    That is something else that I have learned today. Thanks

  4. Hi,

     

    As I had problems with duplicate meta descriptions and titles in google webmaster tools in subcategories if my settings changed to:

     

    choose the uri format- path_rewrite

     

    and I didn't have an answer to my previous post, I decided to go back to my initial settings: rewrite

     

    But to my surprise, the urls have not changed they are still "/regalos/regalos-agatha-ruiz-c-44_49.html" and not "/regalos-regalos-agatha-ruiz-c-44_49.html". And I don't understand why.

     

    The thing is that if it I try this in local they change.

     

    Could you help me to solve this problem?

     

    Thank you

    RESET the cache!!

  5. re php versions: as my ISP has correctly informed me, they won't upgrade from 5.2 to 5.3 yet as it would break a lot of scripts for a lot of people...

     

    Whatever happened to backwards compatibility?

     

    Its called progress. If people thought the same when cars were invented, we would still be riding horses.

  6. Thanks, but it doesn't really help much, I don't think. I don't use Chrome at all. I use Firefox mostly. So it doesn't look like a browser-specific problem, which is at least some help, I suppose.

     

    I have been doing some research and found a similar thread on another cart. Basically there are 2 options

     

    1. Create your Paypal account with a generic name which would cover both sites (I thought about having a holding company or group of companies name)

     

    2. Open a seperate Paypal account with a different bank account

  7. Hi NG,

     

    i search for a add-on for this problem:

    I have one product, lets say a cabinet. But there are different options with the front plate. There are different wooden ones, glass and some colors. Is there any add-on?

    I have seen shops, where is one main picture. Under them is a little menue or icons of the colors/structures.... if you click on them, you can see the picture of the different front and also a description of the option. Like: Glass front.

     

     

    Is there anybody who can help?

     

     

     

    Thank´t

    TELLO

     

    look in the add ons for Master Products

  8. Hi, I already have one osCommerce site and am trying to set up another, but I'm running into problems.

     

    Problem 1:

    The customer buys his item and goes to pay at the Paypal site, where he is greeted by the email address for the other Paypal site in huge letters at the top of the page. I suppose we could get a neutral email address for Paypal, but I'd prefer it if I could use dedicated email addresses for each site. Is this possible and if so, how?

     

    Problem 2:

    I don't know if this actually happens, because I haven't got that far in the checkout process, but I think the customer will get redirected back to the other site, rather than the new one, which would be very undesirable.

     

    Problem 3:

    I am getting sporadic "This invoice has already been paid" errors. I've looked around the forum for previous answers, but most of them seem to refer to Paypal IPN.

     

    I feel like I'm missing something really simple (or is that just wishful thinking!) like creating a new profile for a new site in the same Paypal account, which would solve most of these problems, but I can't see how to do that.

    I'm very confused at the minute and any help from those with more experience of Paypal would be really welcome.

    Thanks for reading.

     

    Problem 3

    I had this problem when using Google chrome but not other browsers. Not sure if this helps

  10. Hi FWR Media,

     

    First of all: Great contri :thumbsup: i use it with great pleasure!

    I was wondering (and saw something about it in previous posts) if its possible to get like: contact_us.php also as an .html document?

     

    I'm sure with all that coding expertise it would be a piece of cake for you? Maybe some ajustments in htaccess?

    I know SEO whise it would not make any difference but for "the eye" it looks a bit more professional if all the pages have the same extension.

    Also its not an must for the contri itself (built in) but just an extra seperated option..

     

    Hope you can help me out, i think alot of people would like this.

     

    Greets,

    demzie

    If you install the contrib Pages unlimited http://addons.oscommerce.com/info/1026 . These will become as you wish.

  11. I'm not using the contribution of Chemo. I used the contribution Ultimate urls 5 and i updated to Ultimate urls 5 pro and it works very well, the only problem is with the googlesitemaps xml. To generate the googlesitemaps.xml i'm using the contribution googlexml_sitemap_seo_v_1.5, which generate: sitemappages.xml, sitemapcategories.xml, sitemapproducts.xml, sitemapmanufacturers.xml and sitemapindex.xml.

     

    And I have errors 301 in my googlesitemaps.xml. Like this:

    Every time I send my sitemaps I have a different problem, for example, this time in the sitemapproducts.xml is this url http://www.joyeriaplaor.com/product_info.php?products_id=555, which is the same as: http://www.joyeriaplaor.com/llamador-angeles-plata-piedras-p-555.html and this gives error 301.

    Do I have to use then the usu5 xml sitempas to avoid this problem? Although if I use this extra of usu5 pro to generate the sitemaps.xml it only generates 3 xml sitemaps (sitemapIndex.xml, sitemapCategories.xml, sitemapProducts.xml). Moreover I don't know what to do to change from one contribution to another and remove the other sitemaps.xml I've sent to google.

    USU5 Pro has its own xml sitemaps writer. Why not use that?

  12. I installed as per instructions, what am i doing wrong?

    This part of the instructions?

     

     

    Choose the URI format

    There are 4 options

    The difference between the four is shown below: -

     

    Standard Seo Urls ( does not require mod_rewrite )

    www.mysite.com/product_info.php/the-brand-etc-great-product-p-3

    Path Standard Seo Urls ( does not require mod_rewrite )

    www.mysite.com/product_info.php/the-brand-etc/great-product-p-3

    Traditional Rewrite Seo Urls ( Requires mod_rewrite and RewriteRules added to .htaccess )

    www.mysite.com/the-brand-etc-great-product-p-3.html

    Path Rewrite Seo Urls ( Requires mod_rewrite and RewriteRules added to .htaccess )

    www.mysite.com/the-brand-etc/great-product-p-3.html

    Choose how your product link text is made up

    There are 49 different ways to write your products link text. Any combination of the below ( e.g. bp produces brand-product name or brand/product name if the uri type is path based )

    p = products name

    c = category name

    b = manufacturer name ( b for brand )

    m = model

    cbmp produces category-brand-model-product-name or category/brand/model/product-name if the uri type is path based

  13. Hey,

    Installed ultimate seo 5 pro on my site vitamins today

     

    Is there a way to remove the product_info.php part of the url from the url? e.g. from this

     

    http://www.vitaminstoday.com.au/product_info.php/lecithin-1200mg-100-caps-p-1404

    to this

    http://www.vitaminstoday.com.au/lecithin-1200mg-100-caps-p-1404

     

    and also removing the index.php from the categories e.g. http://www.vitaminstoday.com.au/index.php/body-skin-care-c-113

     

    Regards,

    Mike

     

     

    If you follow the instructions in the contribution, it will tell you how to do this

  14. I'm trying to install the "column listing with jquery smart column" add-on, but the install.txt is not so clear.

    Had no problem with step 1, but step 2 starts with:

     

     

     

    What does "add css selector" mean?

    And what does "add and of bottom" mean?

     

    Sorry if this is a "stupid" question, but I have no knowledge of php at all...

     

    Thanks for any feedback!

     

    This is not a php question, it is css. Go to

     

    http://www.w3schools.com/css/css_syntax.asp

     

    for a little understanding

  15. Sorry for the colossal noobishness but....

     

    I seem to have destroyed the infobox on 'CREloaded-6.4.1-B2B'; let me explain:

     

     

    boxes.tpl.php contains the lines:

    if (TEMPLATE_INFOBOX_TOP_LEFT == 'true' && TEMPLATE_INFOBOX_IMAGE_TOP_LEFT !='') {

    $left_corner = tep_image_infobox(TEMPLATE_INFOBOX_IMAGE_TOP_LEFT);

    } else {

    $left_corner = ' ';

     

    template.php cantains the lines:

    //infobox header images

    define('TEMPLATE_INFOBOX_IMAGE_TOP_LEFT', 'infobox_top_left.png');

     

     

    ]So, what did I do? ...I removed the constants definition 'infobox_top_left.png' hoping that it would be replaced by ' '.

    ]What is 'infobox_top_left.png', of course its the top left corner of CREloaded's infobox.

     

    }So, whats the problem? Cant you just put it back?

     

    ]Well, when I ran the site in a browser the WHOLE infobox had disappeared; although the space it had occupied is still pushing the main content over to one side. And when I put 'infobox_top_left.png' back into the constant as its definition ...no change ...I now have whitespace where I did have an infobox, despite the code being EXACTLY as it was when I started out.

     

     

    If anyone can explain what has happened I promise to write down your username on a postet-note next to the phrase: "God of all things code".

     

    Thank you in advance.

     

    Have you tried the CREloaded forums?

  16. It appears the date is incorrect for that article. You need to determine which it is and checks it date. Maybe just updating it in admin will fix it.

     

     

    I have produced another article and go these results
