Hi Jack, Can you give me a helping hand in changing the query for the manufacturers page so that I can have a different title to the manufacturer name that is displayed on the page. Basically I want to have the name of the manufacturer on the page but have a different title. This is how I have got to getting close to having what I want: $db_query = tep_db_query("select m.manufacturers_name as categories_name, mi.manufacturers_htc_description as categories_htc_description from " . TABLE_MANUFACTURERS . " m, " . TABLE_MANUFACTURERS_INFO . " mi where mi.languages_id = '" . (int)$languages_id . "' and m.manufacturers_id = '" . (int)$HTTP_GET_VARS['manufacturers_id'] . "'"); This amended code means I have got the title and manufacturer name displaying how I want but this makes the description not display. Hope you can help. Thanks James

Sorry I posted in the wrong thread. This can be deleted if need be as I have now posted in the correct one. James

Hi, Firstly thank you for a wonderful contribution to OsCommerce. I am currently progressing with SEO for my site and have been asked to see if the URL can be changed slightly by a consultant. There is an option to add the category to the product name which is good however can this be changed to show like this: www.mysite.com/category/sub_category/product.html Or something similar to this?? In the world of SEO this would not just be a great help to me but also everyone else who has this contribution installed. Hope I have been clear and that we can make some progress with this. Thanks James

Hi jim, There are filters set up for cash rating. So why does it error?? James

Jim, Thanks for your comments. Did you get chance to look under the budget safes section to see why the filter was not working as it should? Regards James

Hi Jim, Did you get chance to look under the budget safes section to check out the cash rating problem I am having? Regards James

Hi Jim, Look under budget safes which is in the home safes category then you will see what I mean. Also can you tell me if there is a way of filtering the results on the same page rather than moving people to the product_filter page??? Regards James

Hi Jim, The link I gave was a test site so don't worry about the admin too much. I was wondering if you could take a final look at the site because I have it all set up how I want now but I have a problem with one of the specifications. Basically it shows under the filter box but when I click on one of the filters it returns no results. Let me know if you want me to PM you the site address again. Hope to hear from you soon so that I can get this wonderful contribution live. Thanks James

Thank you so much! It has really finished off things for me. Thanks again for your help. James

Hi thanks ever so much for replying so quickly to my posts. Can I do this for sub categories only? :)

Hi, Yes I still have a standard layout. I tried to add some code in the column left file but dont think I had the right code. What code would work? Thanks James

Hi, This is what I am looking for. Where would you suggest using the $category_depth variable?? What code would I use to do this? I am not a newbie but my PHP knowledge could be better! Hope you can help me. James

Hi Jim, Do you have any time at all to help me out with this? I would really appreciate it. Thanks James

Shall I PM you a link to the site? James

Yes I did set up values for the filters. For example I have a group called home safes which is applied to the home safe category and also sub's. Then under that I have colour, cash rating and lock type. Under each of those I have set up values. Can you confirm it is the correct way of doing it? If so do you have any ideas why it would not work? Many thanks James

Hi Jim, My admin screens work fine and dandy now and I have today completed the catalog side. I have input some test data into two products and the specifications are linked to a category but when I got to check in the product listing I am not given a choice to filter. The product filters module is loaded but no filters appear. I have checked to ensure they are shown as on which they are. Therefore I am at a bit of a dead end again. Do you have any ideas? James

Hi Jim, Fixed it! I forgot to add the last query! Sorry to bother you. James

Hi Jim, I have now got the admin screens all working and everything works fine in the categorie file except that the values are not being added into the database. Do you know if there is a statement wrong somewhere? I can post parts of my categorie file if you so wish. James

Hi Jim, Sorry I thought I had upgraded all to the latest release. Thanks James

Hi Jim, I made the database changes fine. Here is a snippet from my server log: PHP Fatal error: Call to undefined function tep_hide_session_id() in /admin/products_specifications.php on line 1527 [06-Jul-2010 11:39:26] PHP Warning: require_once(includes/classes/boxes.php) [<a href='function.require-once'>function.require-once</a>]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /admin/categories.php on line 21 [06-Jul-2010 11:39:26] PHP Fatal error: require_once() [<a href='function.require'>function.require</a>]: Failed opening required 'includes/classes/boxes.php' (include_path='.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php') in /admin/categories.php on line 21 [06-Jul-2010 12:00:19] PHP Fatal error: Call to undefined function tep_hide_session_id() in /admin/products_specifications.php on line 1527 [06-Jul-2010 13:26:26] I take it this is something in the categories file that I have not done??

Hi Jim, Superb addition to osCommerce and have worked through installing it slowly but surely. I started with the admin and everything seems to have gone ok except when I click on product specifications under the catalog section the page loads with "groups" on it and shows a search groups box but nothing else. Am I missing something here, from the screenshots it would appear I have done something wrong. Can you help? Thanks for the wonderful contribution and I really hope I can get it installed OK. Regards James

Hi, I have installed this and all seems good however, when I click on "see more" the recently viewed page does not show any products. I don't get any errors just a page of nothing. Can anyone help me? James

Hi there, I have installed this really good contribution with some success, however when I try to add a product to the shopping cart it errors. Has anyone else experience this at all? James

Hi everyone, I am trying to get this contribution working, I have installed it all fine but when I got to the index page it gives me an internal 500 error. I am assuming this is to do with the .htaccess file. I am trying this locally first using PHP 5, MySQL 4, Apache 2.2 in a Windows environment. Does anyone know how I can fix this? Would appreciate it if anyone could help. James
