♥toyicebear Posted July 10, 2005 Author Share Posted July 10, 2005 A few more probably simple questions but I can't seem to find the answer to them doing various earches. #1 - When I open a category I see the screen with all of the subcategories images and the name below the image. I created images for all of my categories and would like to remove the text name but I'm not seeing this anywhere. #2 - Stylesheet question, mainly the way the text for my items are displayed, when I took at a categories content I found the place to change it but when I go into a specific item the text is really small and I'm not sure where that is dictated. Same for the What's new info box in the main page. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> 1. This can be edited in index.php alternatively you can install the contribution "browse by category" which gives you admin configurable view of the images/text. 2. you can define the text in the stylsheet under td.infoboxcontent Basics for osC 2.2 Design - Basics for Design V2.3+ - Seo & Sef Url's - Meta Tags for Your osC Shop - Steps to prevent Fraud... - MS3 and Team News... - SEO, Meta Tags, SEF Urls and osCommerce - Commercial Support Inquiries - OSC 2.3+ How To To see what more i can do for you check out my profile [click here] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Druss Posted July 15, 2005 Share Posted July 15, 2005 Design wise, especially when considering using a SEO/SEF urls type contribution is it a bad idea to have various sub-categories with the same name even though the parent category has a different name? In my store I'm working with G.I.Joe Toys so I have Complete Figures & Incomplete figures, under each I want to differentiate by year so each has sub-categories named 1982, 1983, etc... I tried installing the Search Friendly URL contribution and it definetly had issues with them so I didn't know if I would run into other problems down the road.

♥toyicebear Posted July 17, 2005 Author Share Posted July 17, 2005 how would you replace the stock oscommerce logo with a flash header movie? (swf) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> You just modify includes/header.php and then insert the flash/html code in the appropriate place in that file.

sarah1980 Posted July 23, 2005 Share Posted July 23, 2005 Hopefully this is a quick one: just wondering which file controls product names and how they appear - I'd like to change the names to bold in the listings. Looked in product_listings.php but can't see anything obvious there. Also, I've noticed a space appears immediately before the product name - any direction as to how to remove this would be appreciated Sarah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yanky123 Posted July 24, 2005 Share Posted July 24, 2005 hi Nick! everyone who reads your forum are glad they did. can you assist me how I can change the "new products for July" table I would like to have borders around all the images, or say cellpading. Also in my eyes the "what's new" box and "specials" box is a little confusing because clicking on the image does not take you tothe new products page but to that single item. Thanks so much I"m a newcomer and trying to enhance a oscommerce shop before adding my products. www.themohelexpert.com/catalog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
henrycoule Posted July 25, 2005 Share Posted July 25, 2005 THis looks Good, alternatively, you can design your own banner else where probably as banner.html and put it in the catelog/includes/ and opening header.php you can type this inlcude('banner.html'); Just above the GNU License. The whole thing might look like this /* $Id: header.php,v 1.42 2003/06/10 18:20:38 hpdl Exp $ osCommerce, Open Source E-Commerce Solutions http://www.oscommerce.com Copyright (c) 2003 osCommerce Released under the GNU General Public License */ include('banner.html'); // check if the 'install' directory exists, and warn of its existence if (WARN_INSTALL_EXISTENCE == 'true') { if (file_exists(dirname($HTTP_SERVER_VARS['SCRIPT_FILENAME']) . '/install')) { $messageStack->add('header', WARNING_INSTALL_DIRECTORY_EXISTS, 'warning'); } } And after this just turn off the original OSC gif banner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then you go into includes/modules/new_products.php and add the new stylesheet class to the image call.

Guest Posted July 25, 2005 Share Posted July 25, 2005 Hello, I assume that this is a very basic request, but I cannot find the answer here in the forum. I would like to remove the "New Products for ..." box from the bottom of the Index page. I feel that it clutters up each page. Any help in this matter would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Ninorc Posted July 25, 2005 Share Posted July 25, 2005 I believe it is index.php OR you could use this: http://www.oscommerce.com/community/contributions,1524 I use STS and I have no complaints with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 25, 2005 Share Posted July 25, 2005 Yes, you are correct. The affected file is index.php. I was looking for line numbers, however. I just want to make sure that I get all of the references to modules/also_purchased_products.php. I know that there are at least two calls, but I also don't want to comment out anything that I need.

Druss Posted July 26, 2005 Share Posted July 26, 2005 I'm curious if there is a consensus of which SEF/SEO type contrib looks the best? I had SEF Urls installed but it seems to have broken my Paypal IPN so I'm thinking of trying another, just not sure which one as there are a bunch.

Druss Posted July 26, 2005 Share Posted July 26, 2005 Hmm....can't seem to edit... I was just checking out the SEO by Chemo thread after reading yours and finding instances of the same problem I was having with SEF Urls by BlueYon, basically breaks the IPN (I'm using this one - http://www.oscommerce.com/community/contributions,1753/). Do you know if any of the ones you suggest, outside of whats included with MS2 work with IPN's? I'm getting ready to do my own testing but as I'm not a programmer by any stretch of the imagination I'd like to make sure its not something I did wrong.
