Adding Category Descriptions to osC v.2.3.1
cefyn replied to Eaviator's topic in General Add-Ons Support
This works ok if you put the first edit of index.php in at line 41,like this. <h1><?php echo $category['categories_name']; ?></h1> <table border="0" width="100%" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"> <tr> <td class="productListing-data"> <?php echo $categories_desc['categories_description']; ?> </td> <td class="pageHeading" align="center" > <?php if (tep_not_null($category['categories_image']) && (file_exists(DIR_WS_IMAGES . $category['categories_image'])) ) { echo tep_image(DIR_WS_IMAGES . $category['categories_image'], $category['categories_name'], HEADING_IMAGE_WIDTH, HEADING_IMAGE_HEIGHT); } ?> </td> </tr> </table> -
Adding Category Descriptions to osC v.2.3.1
cefyn replied to Eaviator's topic in General Add-Ons Support
I've just installed this on 2.3.1,and it is a great contribution.I think I may have misunderstood something in the install instructions though,and would be grateful if someone could point me in the right direction.In the catalog,category image and description are showing at the top of the page,as they should,where the category has only products in it.But if the category has subcategories then the category image and description shows at the bottom of the page under the subcategory images. The only other add on I have on the index page is modular front page ,and I can't see that that's interfering with anything.Any ideas anyone?Thanks. -
I like this contribution.I've got it working in 2.3.1 by adapting the updated easy populate installation instructions. Put define('FILENAME_NEW_ATTRIBUTES', 'new_attributes.php'); in admin/includes/filenames and array( 'code' => FILENAME_NEW_ATTRIBUTES, 'title' => TEXT_NEW_ATTRIBUTES, 'link' => tep_href_link(FILENAME_NEW_ATTRIBUTES) ), in admin/includes/boxes/catalog.php is the main change from the 2.2 install.BUT I musta missed something,because the admin menu on the left has no styling, just text ,on the attribute manager page.It doesn't stop anything from working,just mildly irritating. Anyone got any ideas as to what it could be?

Thanks for replying.I must have been dreaming to think that this module was supposed to appear on the front page.of course it only shows on product info.pages.sorry!

This add-on seems great,but I am having a small problem with it.I've installed it on a clean 2.3.1,but now I cannot get the social bookmark module to work at all.Any ideas anyone? Thanks.

i got this figured out.its just that if a customer puts stuff in the cart,goes to checkout,goes to paypal,and then changes their mind and doesnt proceed through paypal checkout it will show as an order in admin/customers and in the database.But its not.Shoulda stayed out the basement.

paypal website standard had been working ok until today,when I find I have an order made today showing as" paid by paypal (including credit cards)"in admin /customers,but Ive received no payment in my paypal account and no ipn-any ideas anyone?thanks I did just yesterday cancel my worldpay subscription and stop using them on the site because 99.99% of our customers use paypal, but that shouldn't make any difference,should it?

Im not clever enough for sts i guess,couldnt get it to work with some important functions,but its got so much potential for making a site look good.What i wondered was, is it possible to do a few html pages which could be the glamorous front of a site,without os layout restrictions,through which the os site is entered in order to make purchases.The first problem I see is that there would be too many redirects for the googlebot,and im sure thered be others.Has anybody got this kind of thing to work?I think well get left behind as site designers without being able to get things like magic zoom and 360 degree fashion shots working for us,which as i understand it,could not be used on an os site because you cant embed the code into the php and keep all the other major functions working.STS really could be the answer,but for me im afraid its not.Im having to rethink it.All advice gratefully received.

I found i had to uninstall sts and hide/display categories to get payment pages,deletion of products and google sitemaps working ok.
-
Thanks.It installs ok with standard,and i can get api signature and all that,but ill keep a really close eye on it.

Reading the paypal developer forums,Paypal say that os website payment standard doesnt work with express checkout.Apparently people have to sign up for an account with the store,and these details arent sent properly back to paypal,so they have to log in to their paypal account again to pay.Bummer.On the other hand,they say everything works fine in website payments pro,$40 a month.Is this true?If I want to install express checkout Ill have to go with the payments pro option?Any advice would be much appreciated.
-
Has anybody got any idea what could be causing me to get these messages?(paypal ipn invalid process)./ext/modules/paypal ipn/ipn brings up a blank page in the browser ,as it should ,with templates off,but brings up a templated page when sts is switched on.Thanks.

changing link to new products from customer login page
cefyn replied to cefyn's topic in General Add-Ons Support
Ive figured this out,so Im probably in the wrong support thread.The problem is with enable /disable categories contribution.In /cart/product_info.php,this causes the problem /################## Added Enable / Disable Categories #################" // $products_new_query_raw = "select p.products_id, pd.products_name, p.products_image, p.products_price, p.products_tax_class_id, p.products_date_added, m.manufacturers_name from " . TABLE_PRODUCTS . " p left join " . TABLE_MANUFACTURERS . " m on (p.manufacturers_id = m.manufacturers_id), " . TABLE_PRODUCTS_DESCRIPTION . " pd where p.products_status = '1' and p.products_id = pd.products_id and pd.language_id = '" . (int)$languages_id . "' order by p.products_date_added DESC, pd.products_name"; $products_new_query_raw = "select p.products_id, pd.products_name, p.products_image, p.products_price, p.products_tax_class_id, p.products_date_added, m.manufacturers_name from " . TABLE_PRODUCTS . " p, " . TABLE_CATEGORIES . " c, " . TABLE_PRODUCTS_TO_CATEGORIES . " p2c left join " . TABLE_MANUFACTURERS . " m on (p.manufacturers_id = m.manufacturers_id), " . TABLE_PRODUCTS_DESCRIPTION . " pd where c.categories_status=1 and p.products_id = p2c.products_id and c.categories_id = p2c.categories_id and p.products_status = '1' and p.products_id = pd.products_id and pd.language_id = '" . (int)$languages_id . "' order by p.products_date_added DESC, pd.products_name"; //################## End Added Enable / Disable Categories ################# whereas this,from the updated os products_new.php,gets rid of the problem, $products_new_query_raw = "select p.products_id, pd.products_name, p.products_image, p.products_price, p.products_tax_class_id, p.products_date_added, m.manufacturers_name from " . TABLE_PRODUCTS . " p left join " . TABLE_MANUFACTURERS . " m on (p.manufacturers_id = m.manufacturers_id), " . TABLE_PRODUCTS_DESCRIPTION . " pd where p.products_status = '1' and p.products_id = pd.products_id and pd.language_id = '" . (int)$languages_id . "' order by p.products_date_added DESC, pd.products_name"; $products_new_split = new splitPageResults($products_new_query_raw, MAX_DISPLAY_PRODUCTS_NEW); This lets new products work with featured products,and STS Im totally not clever enough to change the enable/disable file edit to incorporate whatever is different,and will no doubt run into problems with that further down the line,but this might be of help to someone. -
Im unsure of how to think about this.I have featured products installed,and STS,everything works ok,except when a customer logs in and clicks the new product link from their log-in page,which brings up database error messages,-but Ive got rid of new products,havent I?Or have I?Is it now a non existent function,as its no longer called in index.php,or can it still be useful?Or should I just change that link to "welcome,here are our featured products for you to look at",and never think about products_new,again. Can anyone advise me on how to either make the link work,if it should,as a link to new products,or redirect it to featured products if it shouldnt.Thanks.

wow,thanks!that was so easy,and its all working!Now all I gotta do is figure out STS-nice big support thread there anyway!Thanks again.
