Greetings forum and big thanks to the authors for a smashing contrib! :thumbsup: Just a quickie i hope someone may have already mastered. I seem to have the html sending side of things all figured and appears to work ok. One thing i would like to be able to do when the html invoice is automatically sent off after an order, is to have it include my company bank account details in the comments field. In the standard oscommerce text email it is sent as part of the email confirmation. I am using the Ausbank direct transfer mod for this particular function, all very simple. But a php pleb like me isnt sure where to stick the code for the html invoice to call the details to stick them in the comment box when a direct transfer payment is being made. I dont want it added if they pay by other means, just for direct transfers. Any info as always, greatly appreciated! :D

Hi forum, A big thanks to the author for a smashing mod! One question: Is there a way you can set a maximum weight in one of the tables if that particular option will only ship to a certain weight? i.e i have three tables in each zone - 2 are for road transport and the last is for air express. The air express only ships to a certain weight so id like to be able to have it show a null or NA above a certain weight. Or better still disappear all together (a little harder to do!) Is their a way of writing the table values so this can happen? Any info greatly appreciated!

Hi forum, A quick question on Star product i thought id throw out and see if anyone had encountered the same issue. Great contribution, thanks to the author! I have found that when i have an item which has a table in the description, such as a spec table etc, that when i switch it on as the Star Product it blows out my page and forces its way to the edge of the page, making my right hand column get pushed to the bottom of the page - not a good look. By looking at the source of various pages with various items set as Stars that the issue is because Star product might cut off part way through a table and then you are left with incomplete table tags. ie. The start tag is there but if it cuts out halfway through a table then the end tags are missing. I have found that by removing the table end tags in star product.php in a couple of locations the issue can be resolved, however this has to be instigated on a per item basis when you switch that item on. Some need it - others dont, depending on whether the description has a table or not. Its quite possible that there is something wrong with my tables in index.php, but was wondering if anyone else had seen this, and maybe come up with a fix. Cheers and thanks again for a great contrib! :thumbsup:

Hi there Mike, You have probably sorted this by now, but thought id post it for anyone else who was having the same prob. My Star Product also was showing the price ex tax, and i rectified it by doing the following simple mod - which may or may not be correct: Find in your Starproduct.php file at about line 38 (In an unmodded file) the following code: $currencies->display_price($star_products['final_price'], tep_get_tax_rate($listing['products_tax_class_id'])) . '<br><br></td> and change the $listing to $star_products like so: $currencies->display_price($star_products['final_price'], tep_get_tax_rate($star_products['products_tax_class_id'])) . '<br><br></td> There are 2 instances, or blocks of code where you need to do this. Remember to do the same in both blocks of code called in the file - the lower block is for products with attributes. Otherwise if you set a product with attributes as your star product it will go back to not showing tax. It seems to work for me, hope it helps. If anyone can enlighten me as to whether this is the appropriate method id be happy to hear. It seems to work ok so i have left it. Cheers! :thumbsup:

Greets to the forum and to Chemo, Just wanted to put my 2 bobs worth in now that my shop is 'mostly' operational. (As we know we never stop playing with them!) I have installed quite a few contributions from various talented authors in order to get my shop to where im reasonably happy with it. No doubt i will install many more. It is no mean feat to contribute something you have spent many hours of work on to a community based effort, for the free use and benefit of all, to then have to fend off the barrage of emails and requests for support from users who are mostly neither programmers, knowledgable in the art of coding, or often not even knowledgable in computers or IT full stop. I can imagine that it would be almost totally consuming and impossible to keep up with. (Nightmare is a word that springs to mind!) Inevitably problems arise when the inexperienced try to enter into a field they have neither knowledge or education in. (I count myself among this group, as i am certainly no programmer and had no knowledge of PHP whatsoever until i started fooling with osCommerce. Oh the mistakes i have made!) I think its a shame when people harangue and 'dis' the authors for something which has cost them nothing, been provided for their benefit, and which will possibly end up actually turning them a buck or two - all for free. This is something i have seen a little too often in the forums. A lot of people who like to take and take and expect everything to be easy and fall in their laps. Sadly it doesnt work like that. Try a bit of hard work, lateral thinking and fire up the old grey matter and extend it a bit. :angry: This isn't directed at anyone in particular, just everyone in general. Most of the people i have seen in the forums are very recognizant of the above and very polite & exceptionally friendly. Anyway! With regard to the contributions, Chemo i would like to thank you for your efforts. I installed your 1.4 Ultimate SEO URLS, it worked flawlessly off the bat. It works fine with shared SSL and i have had no probs whatsoever. I count this amongst the 'must have' contributions as far as importance for your shop in search engines. I have a small list of such 'must haves' and, as i am no programmer and have little chance of contributing a worthy contribution back to the community, i will instead mark you, and a few others, down for a very belated Paypal donation (Yes some of us do read down that far! ;) Ok thats my rant! Cheers Chemo thanks! :D

Greetings, Great Contribution used with thanks! Am in the process of developing my site and have added StarProduct as one of the main boxes in the middle of my main index page. a daft question im sure, but i cant find where to edit the values to alter: A) the width of the description text column. All my description text is crammed into a narrow column making the window far to high for my purposes. Id like to open up the column a bit to make it a bit more balanced, and reduce the hight. B) the width of the Star Product box itself. While the header stretches nicely across the center of my page to fit perfectly, the actual product box itself only stretches wide enough to accomodate the product & description, leaving empty unused space at the sides. This is the only hurdle i have to overcome to finalise my homepage, and its driving me nuts. Fawning gratitude to anyone who would take the time to slap me in the right direction. Cheers! :'(

Ok, ill admit it, ive been staring at this thing for way too long and the answer is probably hidden in plain view. Ive put in the Featured Products contribution V1.5 and all is well (Nice Contribution thankyou!) Now i would like to alter the width of the columns / spacing between the items in the box so that it resizes correctly. I dont know whether this is defined in one of the standard OSc files or the Featured_items.php. I know this is probably easy and much fawning and scraping bestowed upon the individual who can slap me in the right direction. Thanks People! Bozmium :blush:

Hi there Jared, Thanks for the confirmation on the prob i had. I suspected that was the case and thats what it turned out to be. Heres the funny bit though. I use dreamweaver to edit most of my code etc and have never had a prob. But at this part on my index.php : <!doctype html public "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"> <html <?php echo HTML_PARAMS; ?>> <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=<?php echo CHARSET; ?>"> i noticed that it kept removing the < from before the html & also before the ?php like so: <!doctype html public "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"> html ?php echo HTML_PARAMS; ?>> <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=<?php echo CHARSET; ?>"> So id change it, save it, send it to the server, try it out, no change........hmmmm. When i realized that my changes werent going through by comparing the file on the server, i edited it in good old notepad and away she went! No idea why. It hasnt done this on any other file, or at any other point in the same file, just this one statement it didnt like. Perhaps ive got a setting wrong in my options somewhere. Anyway theres something to watch out for if you are using Dreamweaver! Cheers! :lol:

Greetings everyone, As a newbie to Oscommerce im impressed with the support of the forums and the contributors. Keep it up everyone! Hopefully ill know enough one day to contribute something back! (A bag full of my hair perhaps?) ;) Anyway, i have a clean install of 2.2 MS2 with only Maxi Wysiwyg editor 1.7 added. This problem was apparent before i put that in so i dont think it is the cause. When i edit my mainpage either in index.php or via the Admin panel in WYSIWYG i get this error appear at the very top of my page: html ?php echo HTML_PARAMS; ?> Which of course also makes a line appear at the top of my page, moving everything down. Is there anyone who knows what this means? Is there anyone who knows how to stop this? I can even change everything back to original and yet it remains. Predominantly seems to happen when i remove, or even alter the position of that annoying little table_background_default.gif in the index.php. All i have to do to incur this error is change this from a "right" alignment to a "center" on table_background_default.gif, reload the page and bang there is html ?php echo HTML_PARAMS; ?> sitting at the top of my index page. Although it doesnt 'seem' to be interfering with the functionality of the page, its just a really bad look. Any and all info appreciated! :'( Cheers.
