[[Contribution] STS v4]

is there a user manual available, i've got the one with the download but doesn't really give any help in regards to customizing the look of the boxes and main content. I'm completely stuck at the moment. www.pulp-stationery.co.uk/shop (see!!!)

 

thanks

dave

dave looks like your problem is in category contributions, not in sts

probably you have change box category.php with something else

amigaman

create product_info.php_cCatID.html - catid i s id of your category

in my case is product_info.php_c46.html

Offtopic

Looks like with osc, STS4, EZnewfields and few more contributions is possible to achive functionallity as a "heavy weight" solutions like Inershop and IBM commerce suite. Probaby the only one that not available via contributions is ERP connectors (SAP, BANYAN)

[[Contribution] STS v4]

well after 3 days fighting (I'm not programmer and I never learn php or HTML) seems that the key for my problem with Ultra PICS and STS4 is HTTP_GET_VARS so the question is how to send to popup_image php VAR 0,1,2, etc that means wich image to display.

of course there are other solutions (to have 6 diferent popup files for every diferent image,

this is original STS Code

$template_pinfo['product_popup']= '<script language="javascript"><!--'."\n".

'document.write(\'<a href="java script:popupWindow(\\\'' . tep_href_link(FILENAME_POPUP_IMAGE, 'pID=' . (int)$products_id) . '\\\')">' . $template_pinfo['imagesmall'] . '<br>' . TEXT_CLICK_TO_ENLARGE . '</a>\');'."\n".

'//--></script>'."\n".

'<noscript>'."\n".

'<a href="' . tep_href_link(DIR_WS_IMAGES . $product_info['products_image']) . '" target="_blank">'.$template_pinfo['imagesmall'] . '<br>' . TEXT_CLICK_TO_ENLARGE .'</a>'."\n".

'</noscript>'."\n";

 

and I would like to have product_popup2 with imagesmall2 and products_image_xl_2

if I define imagesmall2 its shown corect, also popuu is working, but always shows first image

because of the condiotion in popup_image.php

if (($HTTP_GET_VARS['image'] ==0) && ($products['products_image_lrg'] != '')) {

echo tep_image(DIR_WS_IMAGES . $products['products_image_lrg'], $products['products_name']);

so question is how to change this VARS

Thank you in advance

any ideas how to create layer when when add to card is clicked

I would like to show message to custumer "You have added 1 item your basket", or something like this

Today i read bkellum posts about java scripte, but still cannot figure the advanced shopping cart to work with STS. When I turn off STS js script work well, but it don't when I eneable it. Any help (advice) is welcome

[[Contribution] STS v4]

I love it when STS users make their custom STS tags available for everyone else to enjoy. It makes STS all the more user friendly. :thumbsup:

 

I've been thinking about where would be the best place to "post" these that would inspire other users to contribute their custom STS tags.

 

I would like to hear from everybody on this. Do you think it would be best to start a new contribution site on osCommerce.com called "STS addons"? I don't like posting them on this forum because they just get lost among all of the pleas for help. What do you guys think?

 

Chris has already started a contribution site called "STS Power Pack". Do you think this would be a could place to upload various STS addons? I don't like posting the addons onto the main STS contribution page because new users get confused on which download is the latest "full package" if you know what I mean.

 

I would really like to know what everyone else thinks would be the best place just for custom STS user tags such as the one above.

 

Thanks,

 

Bill Kellum

 

Perfect

non-programers like me will have more choise, I mean when you install STS4 you have a lot of difficulties with other contributions, if we share such an information will be very usefull for everyone

Just a quick note on my install of STSv42HTS259

 

I have STS-2_01 & HeaderTags_V_2.5.9 working flawlessly on both a live shop, and local development server.

 

I tryed to install STSv42HTS259 but with a few problems.

 

1. Bestseller_scroll shows the best sellers but will not scroll.

 

I don't know wich best sellers scroll I'm using, but the file in include/boxes is bestseller2.php

so when I upgrade I change definition in catalog/includes/modules/sts_inc/column_left from bestseller.php to bestseller2.php and its workin perfectly now.

Hope this info is usefull for you

Any one have sucess to implament Advanced Shopping Cart with STS4 and Infobox, or AJAX search, or Ultra PICS ?

[[Contribution] STS v4]

if you want to have default content in your front box

just put $content, or $content$, depends of STS configuration

Sorry mistake

if you want to have default content on front page put $contetn

[[Contribution] STS v4]

Hi everyone

 

Now I'm having trouble modifying the $content I'm sure it's just me being incredibly stupid but I cannot find how to do this.

 

For example on my frontpage I have managed to delete the original text which is installed with osCommerce but how can I modify the part which shows up the 'New Products for'

 

Is there a way to put for example a "best sellers" box (showing multiple products), "new products" box (showing multiple products) and some text?

 

Also the $languagebox centers itself automatically is there a way to change this so that I can align it to the right, etc...?

 

And finally I am using CSS to sort out the fonts and everything but I don't seem to be able to change the font for the infoboxs..??

 

Sorry for all the questions I hope someone can help me out. lol

 

Thanks in advance for any help

Create page index.php_0.html and put what you want there

I'm afraid you cannot put boxes in front page

There are contribution for scrolling best sellers, new products etc, but in column lef/right

About CSS - install infoboxes addon for STS, its works quite well with CSS, but keep mind that the changes will affect olso on advance search and also purchesed modules

if you want to have default content in your front box

just put $content, or $content$, depends of STS configuration

[[Contribution] STS v4]

is it bug ?

when you using specific content tempalte for product and product is out of stock STS doesn't show default message "Product is not found" but the template (without pictures descriptions etc), but botton add to cart is there and when clicked redirects to cart

 

this product_info template drives me crazy

[[Contribution] STS v4]

Hey all,

 

I've got the latest STS v4.2 up and running, and have a question about adding new, custom infobox contributions. I want to add one of the Login Box contributions to my current store (ie, http://www.oscommerce.com/community/contri...arch,login+box). However (and pardon my ignorance here), I can't figure out if there is a way to incorporate a contribution like this into the STS. Is it possible to make a $newcustominfobox variable and then call that like everything else is called in the STS setup? Or, maybe I am missing something really basic?

 

Anyhow, any help would be much appreciated. The STS is really remarkable and has saved me and my colleagues SO much time -- so, many thanks, to everyone working on it. All the best, cheers,

 

brian

in catalog/includes/modules/sts_inc/sts_column_left.php (sts_column_right.php)

require(DIR_WS_BOXES . 'newlogin.....php'); in sts_col - whatever is file name

$sts->restart_capture ('your_variable, 'box'); // Get your new box

and put $yourvariable then ...

Bill any ideas about my problem ?

not working add in cart buton when I use product template

[[Contribution] STS v4]

Thanks for the reply Bill, but what patch can I use to get it working? Is there a patch reference or link you can provide?

 

Thanks,

Can some one give me a glue how to modify shoping_cart php (or sts_incl) to use STS4 for shopping carts.

[[Contribution] STS v4]

seems that I need to make template for every infobox, in case I want also purchesed and search to work correctly.. I worry about the performance

[[Contribution] STS v4]

May I ask another question?

 

It is regarding category templates. I have searched the thread and read the questions regarding this and I have also read the documentation but I still can't figure it out.

 

I have a music category, the end of the URL for this category is: .com/music-tshirts-c-21.html

 

I want to use an alternative individual template for it. What do I call this template and where do I put it? Also what additions do I make on the admin side and where exactly do I paste the new template?

 

Thanks again and apologies for my ignorance.

 

main (first, index) page must be index.php_0.html

usually I use category ID

for example index.php_110_132.html. I haven't tasted with STS4 but STS3 also works with index.php_132.html

files must be int template directrory, specified in admin panel

so try index.php_21.html

its seems that you have Ultimate SEO installed

 

Excuse me for my english

[[Contribution] STS v4]

Yep, everything chown'ed to www, but the behaviour is still the same. Any more ideas please?

 

Thanks,

 

Philip.

hmm

f you are experiencing problems getting the STS module to activate in the admin and you are using osCommerce update 060817, use this patch to get it working.

[[Contribution] STS v4]

I suppose it's possible there's a file permissions problem. Which files should I check, and what should their permissions be, please?

 

Thanks,

 

Philip.

apache web server was installed from freebsd ports?

defaul user is www group www

chown to www, should be OK

[[Contribution] STS v4]

Hello,

 

I've just installed oscommerce for the first time on my FreeBSD machine, together with the latest version of STS. Oscommerce works great, except that I can't enable STS!

 

I go to the STS modules page, click the Default line and set the 'Do you want to use Simple Template System?' option to 'true'. Then I click Update, and when I'm returned to the STS modules page, it says 'false'. No errors seem to occur, it just refuses to enable :-)

 

Please could you advise?

 

Thanks,

 

Philip.

file permisions ?

I think that sts settings are not stored in database

I have problem with product_info

button $addtocartbutton not working I mean it not perfmore any actions

same is with $reviewsbutton

any ideas ?

[[Contribution] STS v4]

Hi, has anyone used this contrib:

 

http://www.oscommerce.com/community/contributions,4549/

 

with STS product content templates?

 

or does anyone know whether it will work?

I used to use similar one with STS3

in STS 4

modify sts_inc/product_info.php

$prod_quantity = tep_get_products_stock($HTTP_GET_VARS['products_id']);

if ($prod_quantity > 0) {

$template_pinfo['addtocartbutton'] = tep_image_submit('button_in_cart.gif', IMAGE_BUTTON_IN_CART);

} else {

$template_pinfo['addtocartbutton'] = '';

}

this will disable add to cartbutton if stock is 0

I also define $stock image wich is "Sold OUT"

$template_pinfo['stock']= '';

} else {

$template_pinfo['stock'] = tep_image('images/outofstock.jpg');

}
