At the risk of sounding like a complete NOOB um, what do I have to do to change the heading title of my new SMF forum page. Right now it says "shipping and returns". I could just get rid of the echo in forum.php, I suppose, but I would prefer to know how to make the change the right way. Little help? thx. ;-j

That's just because you have to turn off some settings on the admin page for the featured sets. You want to turn off "display manufactures" and "display catagories" I think. Then those broken images will go away.

Hey Steve, Just wanted to thank you for the contrib. Is there an actual featured page that folks can navigate to? You know like the "what's new" page... ;-j

Hey Mark, Thank you so much for the rapid response. I appreciate it. Do you have any suggestions on where to look for instructions for installing phpBB as an internal page in OSC? Thanks again. ;-j

http://www.oscommerce.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=162244 This is the EP support thread.

Hey Mark, I would really like to be able to have a forum integrated with OSC, and I was hoping to use your contribution, but I'm afraid I'm a little confused about how it's all supposed to be working. Am I supposed to already have a phpBB installed? The way that I have read this thread and the documentation from the contribution I'm of the understanding that this will add the forum to my site. But now that I've gone through the installation process and read the forum it seems like this is not the case. Could you point me in the right direction for this? I went through all the installation steps and ran the sql querry in v1.02 and I get this error on my front page: 1146 - Table 'xxx_osc2.phpbb_posts' doesn't exist select pt.post_subject, pt.post_text, p.forum_id from phpbb_posts p left join phpbb_posts_text pt on p.post_id=pt.post_id order by pt.post_id desc limit 5 [TEP STOP] I figure that I really need to have installed the phpBB already. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks so much.

Is there a way to have the products be displayed randomly?

I am putting a shout out there to find out if there is anyone out there who uses this contribution (graphical boxes v1.0) or at least understands how it works. I have some questions about how to use it, but there doesn't seem to be any active support for it. It looks like Infobox skin manager is current and has an active support thread, but I've already installed and been useing this contribution, so I'm hopeing to get some help with it if there is any help out there to be had. I'm going to save my questions till I see if there is any actual support out there. If not I'll just have to get rid of it and try the skin manager be well.

You have to escape your single quotes '. Just replace the single quotes like this: \' and you will not have that problem.

I'm looking for a tabbed horizontal menu solution and so far have had no success at all with the couple of contributions there are. I'm suprized that there are only a couple and that they seem not to have been updated for years. I don't seem to be able to find any support threads for them either. I just tried to install catagories.php v 2.0 but I'm having trouble with it and I can't find a support thread if there is one. It's a little frustrating. But then again what else is new. be well, y'all.

For the record, I have had quite a time trying to figure out how to work code in to the product descriptions and upload with EP. It's trial and error. I have found that it's no problem if you keep your code simple. When I have tried to add stuff like Javascript to the descriptions it just doesn't seem to work.

You have to escape out your quotes \' like that.

Well, at least the file path looks right now. Did you set the right permissions on your temp folder?

I believe that the problem can be solved by changing the file path in the begining of your easypopulate.php here: $tempdir = "temp/"; $tempdir2 = "temp/"; Just because of this part of your error: Warning: file(/var/www/html/catalog/temp//tmp/php84cf2S) where there are 2 slashes after temp. I had a similar issue that was fixed by changing the path there. hope that helps.

I would like to add a tabbed nav to a store I'm working on, but before I do I was wondering if anyone has suggestions on which one works best for them. I feel a little sketchy about them, but they do look cool if done right. Thanks for your 2 cents!

Yea, hi! Thank you for your work on this contribution! When I went to use the lastest contribution I found that the code to be replaced in the currencies.php was not in my currencies.php. So, I dl'd the v4.3 and installed that without a problem and it works great. I was just wondering what I am missing out on and if there is anything I can do to get this latest version working. Thanks for your work and your help.

$tempdir = "temp/"; $tempdir2 = "temp/"; The problem should be solved just by adding a slash before temp. This is in the easypopulate.php hope that works.

The problem is that in easypopulate.php at the top $tempdir = "temp/"; $tempdir2 = "temp/"; just add a slash before the temp. That should take care of it.

You may very well be right, however, I did move that file to that folder and I'm afraid it wreaked havoc with my page. No, I don't think that is what it is. I took a look at the ep2.75 I have working in another store and the functions file works just fine where it resided in the main admin folder. Also, the functions file is in the admin folder in the install package. I may be wrong and it may be something else, but moving the functions file didn't help. Thanks anyway. I do appreciate it.

Hey everyone! I have a bit of an issue with my EP. It's the lastest EP contribution and I've installed it into the lastest v of OSC. I got this error: Warning: move_uploaded_file(/home/xxx/public_htmltemp/EP2006Apr19-1705.txt): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/xxx/public_html/test_shop/admin/easypopulate_functions.php on line 32 Warning: move_uploaded_file(): Unable to move '/tmp/phpeydKmv' to '/home/xxx/public_htmltemp/EP2006Apr19-1705.txt' in /home/xxx/public_html/test_shop/admin/easypopulate_functions.php on line 32 File uploaded.

I checked out the offending lines of code and then tried to find where that error was being generated but I couldn't find out what was causing it. No idea if that is where the problem is coming from or not, just thought I'd take a guess. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. (Y) (. .) (")(")

This contribution is the freakin bees knees. I mean it's beautiful. Compared to the clumsy attribute management out of the box it is as if an angel came down and graced OSC. Thank you thank you thank you.

I have found that the best thing to do when you are adding HTML to your product descriptions is to change all the " double quotes to ' single quotes with the \ back slash to escape them. That should work for most of the simple stuff. I've played with this a bunch and that seems to work best. Unfortunately I have not figured out how to deal with more complicated code like nested quotes, javascript and the like and so the few products I have with more complicated code I just add manually to the admin products page and that works for me. I keep the number to a minimum. I have asked this question many times and have not had a satisfying response, so if you figure something out that works please let me know!

Thanks for the feedback guys, I really appreciate it. Actually thing is about the problem I'm having is that some Visa's are not working while it seems that most do work. Have you heard anything about this? If not do you think I should post another question that asks about it specifically? Since I don't have the problem CC numbers I can't compare them to the ones that do work. That is why I'm a little hesitant to use that modification you posted earlier.

How funny is that? I only just yesterday posted the exact same question. Here is the response I was given, I hope this helps, I actually haven't even tried it yet. http://www.oscommerce.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=175502# Stupid AE...

Thank you so much for the tip, I really appreciate it. I was wondering if you or anyone else could help me with a very urgent problem that I am having with the same CC module. Apparently, people with valid VISA cards are recieving errors when they try to submit their CC# and I don't know why. Do you know what the best thing to do about this is or why it is happening? Thanks again.
