  1. Hello all.. I have done several searches (maybe I am using the wrong keywords) but I have not found an answer. I downloaded the complete file so I could add products. When I try to open it in Excel, it says it cannot fully load because it is too large. Well, as I scroll to the right notice that it has v_attributes_options_name, v_attributes_options_id, v_attributes_options_price a total of 185 times along with all the other fields. How do I reduce this?? On a side note, what fields am I supposed to be designating the x-sell stuff? I do not see a field that says xsell or crosssell or anything like that in the spreadsheet. Thanks Lori
  2. Jared/Mibble/Whomever can help I took my easypopulate.php and opened it in WinMerge with the file that was attached to the above message. I went through and copied over the changes. Now, I am getting a parse error. Thing is, the error is occuring on a line where no changes took place. Here is the error Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_ELSE in /www/a/alltheabovew/htdocs/catalog/admin/easypopulate.php on line 2538 There are no extra spaces after the last ?> There are no open apostrophes. I checked Vger's Parse error link, but it did not pertain to me. Here is the partial code where this error is taking place. // update options table, if options already exists $attribute_prices_update_query = "update " . TABLE_PRODUCTS_ATTRIBUTES . " set options_values_price = '" . $$v_attribute_values_price_var . "', price_prefix = '" . $attribute_values_price_prefix . "' where products_id = '" . (int)$v_products_id . "' and options_id = '" . (int)$$v_attribute_options_id_var . "' and options_values_id ='" . (int)$$v_attribute_values_id_var . "'"; $attribute_prices_update = tep_db_query($attribute_prices_update_query); } } // options_values price update end $attribute_values_count++; $v_attribute_values_id_var = 'v_attribute_values_id_' . $attribute_options_count . '_' . $attribute_values_count; } $attribute_options_count++; $v_attribute_options_id_var = 'v_attribute_options_id_' . $attribute_options_count; } $attribute_rows++; } // VJ product attribs end } else { // this record was missing the product_id array_walk($items, 'print_el'); echo EASY_ERROR_3; } // end of row insertion code } require(DIR_WS_INCLUDES . 'application_bottom.php'); ?> These are lines 2520 thru 2548 Thanks for any help. Lori
  3. Thanks, but I am just going to use template and mod from there..
  4. Just wondering if anyone could help with this.
  5. Just wondering if anyone can help with this.
  6. I was wondering if there is a way to randomize this. See, I don't want to have to go into thousands of products and tell each one what to xsell. It would make it SO much easier if I could designate maybe an entire subcategory for it to choose from. I have one supplier with almost 2000 products. I would much rather tell the program to xsell the entire candle holder subcategory then to have to go into each and every product and check off all the xsell things. Also, is it possible to force it to stay on the current page after "buy now" is chosen for an xsell product? Thanks Lori
  7. I have an interesting glitch that I can't seem to figure out. I installed this a second time after fixing some other minor issues on my site. I basically wanted it so I could easily change the infobox colors. In my stylesheet, I have a defined main body background. Well, this isn't showing up on most of the pages. Yes, I said most. If you look at product details, it shows up. I am unsure what I need to change or even what files to look at t fix this glitch. I tried removing the stylesheet background and letting the skin manager take care of the color, but because I have no right column, the main body color never shows up correctly. So, I either need to know how to make the skin manager display the mainbody background using it's tools or I need to know what to change so that my defined mainbody background image shows up. Thanks bunches! Lori
  8. Got it taken care of. Phew! Oh, and just in case anyone else runs into the problem, make sure your table is defined in database_tables.php in catalog/includes and that the infobox is defined in filenames.php also in catalog/includes. Lori
  9. Ok, I found the file. It should not be calling for this file as I have installed cross-sell. When I looked at the code for cross-sell that the instructions said to add, I see this: Modify catalog/product_info.php to include xsell_products.php above also_purchased. So seach for this section <?php if ( (USE_CACHE == 'true') && !SID) { echo tep_cache_also_purchased(3600); } else { include(DIR_WS_MODULES . FILENAME_ALSO_PURCHASED_PRODUCTS); } } ?> And change it to this <?php //added for cross -sell if ( (USE_CACHE == 'true') && !SID) { echo tep_cache_also_purchased(3600); include(DIR_WS_MODULES . FILENAME_XSELL_PRODUCTS); } else { include(DIR_WS_MODULES . FILENAME_XSELL_PRODUCTS); include(DIR_WS_MODULES . FILENAME_ALSO_PURCHASED_PRODUCTS); } } ?> So, what do I need to modify so that it shows the "recommended products" as opposed to "also purchased"? Thanks for any help Lori
  10. Ok.. I need help with this one.. I see lines like this <?php require(DIR_WS_INCLUDES . 'column_left.php'); ?> However this isn't in includes, its in includes/modules. Logic tells me that is I put it as DIR_WS_MODULES it will point to catalog/modules and not catalog/include/modules. So, then I think I can just tell it DIR_WS_INCLUDES/MODULES .. Nope So, then I try DIR_WS_INCLUDES_MODULES .. That didn't work.. So then I tried include instead of require since that worked for index.php to call a module, but no luck. I need to know how to tell it that the file is in the includes/modules dir. Here is the piece of code I am working with from product_info.php <tr> <td> <tr> <td><?php include(DIR_WS_MODULES . FILENAME_XSELL_PRODUCTS); ?></td> </tr> </td> </tr> </table></form></td> <?php // ISM start require (DIR_WS_INCLUDES . 'skin_bottom.php'); // ISM end ?> <!-- body_text_eof //--> <td width="<?php echo BOX_WIDTH; ?>" valign="top"><table border="0" width="<?php echo BOX_WIDTH; ?>" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="2"> </table> </td> <!-- body_eof //--> <!-- footer //--> <?php require(DIR_WS_INCLUDES . 'footer.php'); ?> <!-- footer_eof //--> <br> </body> </html> <?php require(DIR_WS_INCLUDES . 'application_bottom.php'); ?> Thanks for any help Lori
  11. Well.. that fixed it except that now it is looking for "Also Purchased". I don't have a file with that name. When I try to remove the reference I end up with Parse error: parse error, unexpected $ in /www/a/alltheabovew/htdocs/catalog/product_info.php on line 254 So.. Now I will try to create an infobox for "Also Purchased" but instead of showing what other people purchased, I am going to try to get it to show other random products.
  12. Ok, well I got the footer navbar to go across the bottom, but I can't get it to accept a skin for the main body. Also, still getting errors when trying to access pages with-in my site like My Account, Cart.. etc
  13. That looks correct. I came here knowing zippo about this stuff. Slowly, I am learning.. Its funny that I can help some people, yet I'm still trying to iron out my own web troubles LOL Lori
  14. I have posted for help under the Infobox Skin thread, but apparetly it is no longer being supported. Ever since I installed this thing, I have had nothing but trouble. I could use some basic help in getting this worked out. If you could possibly answer any of the questions, it would be greatly appreciated. Lets start with the front page. In the infoboxes are things like BOX_INFORMATION_MORETEXT Some of it I figured out how to change, but the ones that remain I am stumped. In the Info box, I don't want those other two lines, but if I try to remove their reference I get page errors. The footer navbar at the bottom and the coloration of the footer area. I want the navbar to span the page just like the header does. I would also like to be able to change the color of the main area without the footer color changing. The header is already seperate. I tried changing this in css and footer.php but neither worked. :huh: The main page text needs to stretch a bit more to the right. It looks like column_right should be there, however I removed it yet the text will not move. Ok, now moving forward. When I try to go to a product page or add to cart, I get a 404 error. I know these are there because I can see them in admin. In the url bar it says something like FILENAME_PRODUCT_INFO and a bunch of garbage after it along with a cPath. Those are my main problems. There might be more, but how the heck will I know unless the other problems are fixed. I have been searching the forums looking for answers and trying some stuff out, but nothing is working (obviously or I wouldn't be here typing this begging for help). Thanks for any help you may be able to provide. Lori
  15. Did you change your easypopulate.php file as instructed? You should // out the line that refers to semi-colon as the seperator and remove the // where it refers to tab-deliminated to make it the default.
  16. Oops.. I just realized that what I told you is for the whole page, not individual boxes. I haven't played around with the boxes yet as I am still trying to get the column and footer to act properly.
  17. Put this in css under the BODY tag border: dashed; border-width: 2px; color: #cc9966; border changes the edges. I have experimented with the words solid, dashed, dotted. I'm sure more words work, but I know those do for sure color changes what color the edge definition is.
  18. Is anybody still supporting this contrib or is anybody knowledgable enough about this contrib, to help me fix my website?
  19. Ok, I have installed this and it is sort of working. Please see http://alltheaboveweb.com/catalog/index.php My header bar is the wrong color. At the bottom is an error in the footer and it says there are files missing. The titles for all the boxes and links at the top are wrong. I had previously had those OSC default icons deleted and my Page Title centered, but they are back now and when I tried to delete them, I received parse errors. I am not using sts or bts. My background is hardocded on css Also, there are some boxes that I am not using such as "New Products" and "Upcoming Products", however there is a required radio box for them. How would I go about removing those requirements and thus eliminating the errors generated. Also, can I, in theory, use this to create boxes to put around my products themselves? I will try to resolve some of these errors myself as I wait for a response. Thanks in advance for any help. Lori
  20. Ok.. I have looked through the contribs and the forums, but maybe I am using the wrong search terms. When I go into the category/subcategory and get to the meat where the products are, I would like them to be in boxes with "view" and "add to cart" buttons. The view would take them to the detailed description of the product. add to cart is self explanatory. Instead of having a long list as Osc is defaulted, I would like it to be in columns. I have tried finding an example, but as of yet, I cannot. (note to self: maybe there is a reason for this) Anyway, any ideas or contribs for me to look at? Thanks Lori
  21. I use OpenOffice. It does not ask what format to open the file in, it simply opens it as a txt file. The qualifier is showing as apostrophe instead of quotes. It also does not open it in typical spreadsheet format, but opens it in more of a wordpad format. If you are not familiar with OpenOffice, it is a free d/l at downloads.com and you can open one of your files (make a back-up first LOL) to see what I am talking about. If yours looks fine, then I obviously have done something wrong in either the creation or the saving of the file. I wish I had only a couple hundred products so I could easily just upload by hand. Thanks for taking time out of your day to help me (and others) with our problems. Lori
  22. Mibble, or anyone who might know, any ideas on what might be the problem? I figure its the way the spreadsheet is being formatted on save because I can upload the sample file and I get all the confirmations that new products were added (or updated). What should it show as tab placement when opened in txt editor with hiden characters showing?
