surfalot Posted February 27, 2006 Share Posted February 27, 2006 (edited) Abstract: Define Content is a basic language aware Content Management System (CMS) designed for osCommerce. Its intended to make content management easier for the non-technical shop owner. It allows you to define content areas and then modify them with or without a WYSIWYG HTML editor from the osCommerce admin. Site designers can use this contrib to setup areas the store owner can easily modify with tinyMCE WYSIWYG HTML editor. Define Content is completely language aware in both catalog side and admin side. This means it can be used, for example, to make the header (top banner) change with the language choice of the customer. It can also be used to make an image or any other content change with the language choice of the customer. The contribution allows you to include PHP code in the content so that elements such as the STORE_NAME or STORE_NAME_ADDRESS can be added via PHP. For security, and by default, php code is stripped from the Define Content editor page when submitted. The extra step is included to enable PHP code inclusion from the editor. The contribution includes easy file copy directions to integrate tinyMCE cross-browser WYSIWYG editor. tinyMCE is compatible with browsers like Mozilla, MSIE, FireFox, Opera and (partially) Safari. tinyMCE has lots of features. It cleans and verifies your HTML and I've even included a mod to support including PHP code if you wish to optionally enable it. If you already have a preferred WYSIWYG editor integrated into your admin, you can use that, or follow the few included additional steps to setup tinyMCE. Once installed, you can use the tinyMCE cross-browser WYSIWYG editor for any textarea field in your osC admin. This contribution comes with several examples of areas to use it such as: Page Header Page Footer Catalog Main Page content and Greeting areas Contact US Message Get it here Edited February 27, 2006 by surfalot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
azer Posted February 27, 2006 Share Posted February 27, 2006 hi pal , could you provide a screenshot to show us how it appears for the header and contact us in the admin ? Quote MS2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
surfalot Posted February 27, 2006 Author Share Posted February 27, 2006 Interesting question. This contrib is designed to allow you to make any defined area anything you want. Directions are included that will allow you to install this contribution, and setup just what you want defined. You do not have to use the content areas I setup for the novice user. just make sure you read the directions carefully since sections are marked as Mandatory Install and Content Install. Ignore the Content setup instructions and you can start defining your content from scratch. Help is built in for setting-up content areas from scratch. So, if you are asking about how it looks just after installing the contribution, it would look just like the default store would. I clipped out the default store header and created a content area for the header and pasted the code I clipped from the default store. So the result is exactly what I had to begin with, the default store. There is only one exception to the pre-setup content. The Contact Page I have added this next sentence and the STORE_NAME_ADDRESS below that: "Welcome and thank you for visiting. Please use this information to contact us with any needs, questions or comments. Please use the form to contact us electronically." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
azer Posted February 28, 2006 Share Posted February 28, 2006 that seems to fit my need and the need of all the developper that setup a shop ... i will try to setup it with fck editor, while maybe tinymce is better i didnt check the difference.. for the screenshot , that was more an admin screnneshot showing a footer or header content while entering the information Quote MS2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
surfalot Posted March 1, 2006 Author Share Posted March 1, 2006 I will include screenshots in the first update. You can go to tinymce dot moxiecode dot com and click on examples for how it looks and see available options. The benefits built into this integration boils down to 2 nice features. You can choose whether to use the editor (with a checkbox) each time you edit content. A feature is also available to turn the editor on or off while editing the code. I have integrated both the standard osCommerce's stylesheet.css and the default images directory. It allows you to preview the images and directions are included on how to add more directories. (no upload though). The WYSIWYG editor has an optional powerful code checking/cleanup engine. The WYSIWYG is also integrated with allowing and not allowing PHP code at edit time.

toniramos Posted March 29, 2006 Share Posted March 29, 2006 Hi ! well I got it installed, but got a few probs. I think mainly related to the language I have selected. First off , just to let you know, I modified my spanish file rather than the english file. First problem: I do not see a link in the admin for Define Content (I just went directly to define_content.php) Second: When saving the info on Catalog Main, I get this error: URL : http://www.centroaudio.es/admin/define_con...d=6&action=save Error: 1064 - You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near '' at line 1 UPDATE define_content_description set define_content_description_text='hola', define_content_date_added='2005-11-11 00:00:00', define_content_last_modified=now() WHERE define_content_description_id=6 AND language_id= [TEP STOP] Looks like the query is not getting the current language value perhaps? Just a guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
surfalot Posted March 30, 2006 Author Share Posted March 30, 2006 (edited) Hey! this instruction from the install.txt file should have given you the link in the admin: OPEN: admin/includes/column_left.php ## Find: require(DIR_WS_BOXES . 'catalog.php'); ## Add after: // BOF: Define Content require(DIR_WS_BOXES . 'define_content.php'); // EOF: Define Content did you create a new entry for your language, or did you just try to edit and save one of the preset english examples? If you did create a new content area for your language, please see post #17 and run that discovery script for me so I can figure out what your language class is loading. If you didn't create a new content area for your language, click the little help link next to the Define Content title and follow those instruction to setup a new content area for your language.

surfalot Posted April 1, 2006 Author Share Posted April 1, 2006 Hi SurfAlot, No I have used the default english setting. How do I set it to spanish ? Sorry about my ignorance. If you setup the complete English example and the english SQL, you have to add content for your language. 1) click Insert under the main content list. 2) Select the content area. 3) enter the content. 4) select your langauge. 5) click Insert. Do this for each content area. NOTE: you can first edit an existing english content area, copy what is there, then follow the instructions above. Just paste the english content in the content field in step #3 and do your translation. The only language I know I English. I'm looking for anyone that can contribute translations for the language files and the SQL to be inlcuded in a future release. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
