helply

there are a couple loaded versions oscommerce available for free. they have several contributions already installed. Just search the forum for loaded. Otherwise start with a fresh install and put the contribs you need on there yourself. The forums are a great help and you dont need to know a bunch of php as I am a total newbie and am chugging along ok with my own work. hth

Ok I still cant figure this one out. Please can someone help me with this. I have the products listed by columns now but the header of the products box is missing thus it looks out of alignment with the right and left column infoboxes. People who are using this contrib please give me your input, are you putting a banner there instead, or what???. Where to you put such banner... all my attempts have resulted in a squished banner thats trapped inside a table cell, I cant get anything to span the entire top of the product listing table head. Ill pretty much follow any suggestion at this point no matter how far fetched Im getting pretty disturbed at my inability to get this done. thanks up front...

Is possible that the productlisting-heading on the product listing page can be tied to the sorting some how. So when Im setting the products to display in column mode, it is taking away the option to sort, therefore removing that header with the sort symbols. I am asking because I put this contrib on a fresh install and it is doing the same thing as before, so Im wondering if there is a sort issue going on here.

Anyone having this problem, when switching to column mode, the productlisting header disappears. I have looked through the code and this piece of code is missing from the column listing part of the file. $list_box_contents[0][] = array('align' => $lc_align, 'params' => 'class="productListing-heading"', 'text' => ' ' . $lc_text . ' '); Any idea how to get the product listing header to appear when in column mode. This is the part across the top of the product table that has the + symbol in it. thanks

Ok after comparing the two files I see this code is missing from the column listing part of the contrib file. $list_box_contents[0][] = array('align' => $lc_align, 'params' => 'class="productListing-heading"', 'text' => ' ' . $lc_text . ' '); Can anyone tell me where to put this into the contrib productlisting.php file in order to get the product listing header to appear again. I have inserted in in some places here and there but it doesnt appear to have any effect. thanks

Hi thanks, that is what im saying, I used beyond compare to see the diffs between the two files but I dont see where the product listing heading is being taken out of the column listing contrib.

Im need some help with this contrib. It appears to remove the product listing heading, you know that area above the products that displays the infamous +/- symbol for sorting. There are too many changes from the original for me to figure out what is going on. Can anyone help, or has anyone experienced this issue with this contrib thanks.

did you upload the file product_listing_col.php?

Can anyone please help me out with this, or what. I have tried to compare the two mods with an original copy but I cant figure out how to get it not to show both buy now buttons from both contribs. Any help appreciated.

Did anyone ever get this to work. My buy now buttons dont work, they just dont add anything to the cart. Looks like a good mode but I have no clue how to tweak it to work with other contribs. Hey author how bout some instructions instead of a file replace for product_listing.php. Now that would be useful, we could just modify the code in required places and not have to was out all of our contribs to use this one. We'll see what happens. BTW doesnt the stock version of osc come with list by columns option for product lisitng. I see some of the same code their that checks to see if columns are selected but on the admin side there is no mention of display variables in admin/mystore/productdisplay.

Anyone? I have played around with it a little bit but I cant get it to work, I either get no qty box when listed as columns or I found a way to keep the qty box but the add to cart doesnt work. Doesnt anyone else have a qty box on their product listing page but have the products listed in columns instead of rows. thanks

ever get this to work, im about to give up thanks

yes the first part of the code is setup pretty much like the original product_listing.php it seems that the column view version of product_listing.php has a second set of code I assume for column view mode, I can get the products to line up by columns with this contribution but when it goes to columns, the qty box disappears. Any help most appreciated. thanks

When I display my products in columns, i lose my qty box. I think it hs something to do with these statements, Can anyone help me out here. THanks I currently have in my catalog/includes/modules/product_listing: case 'PRODUCT_LIST_BUY_NOW': $lc_align = 'center'; $lc_text = tep_draw_form('buy_now', tep_href_link(basename($PHP_SELF), tep_get_all_get_params(array('action')) . 'action=buy_now&products_id='. $listing['products_id']), 'POST') . '<table cellSpacing="0" cellPadding="0" width="100%"><tr><td align="right" width="25%">' . tep_draw_input_field('buyqty', '1', 'size=2 maxlength=2') . '</td><td align="center" width="75%" valign="absmiddle">' . tep_image_submit('button_in_cart.gif', IMAGE_BUTTON_IN_CART, 'align=absmiddle') . '</td></tr></table></form>'; The list by column contribution wants me to use this piece of code: $lc_text = '<a href="' . tep_href_link(basename($PHP_SELF), 'action=buy_now&products_id=' . $listing['products_id']) . '">' . tep_image_button('button_buy_now.gif', IMAGE_BUTTON_BUY_NOW) . '</a> '; I have no idea...all I do know is when I substitute my code, I get only the qty box and add to cart image, no product info and when I use the contribution code I lose my qty box when I switch to column view mode. Anyone else using Quantity Box in Product Listing by Acheron |and osC-ProductListingSelect for MS Author: Randy Newman "ugottasalsa" together successfully, thanks upfront

OK Im starting with a brand new ms2.2. Configuration went off without a hitch. Now im trying first thing to get some admin limitations so I am following the directions for this contribution. I updated the database with the included sql file, no problems but when I try to go to the admin page I get this error. I simply overwrote my original files with the contrib files so it should have worked out of the box. Warning: main(includes/functions/password_funcs.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/virtual/site1/fst/var/www/html/catalog/admin/includes/application_top.php on line 73 Fatal error: main(): Failed opening required 'includes/functions/password_funcs.php' (include_path='.:/php/includes:/usr/share/php') in /home/virtual/site1/fst/var/www/html/catalog/admin/includes/application_top.php on line 73 ANyone have any ideas or advise on a diff contrib to try, I need to limit the storeowner to no configuration files in the admin, store business only for his access. thanks Here is the original contribution try this http://www.oscommerce.com/community/contributions,2037
