How Do I ...? All the basic install questions regularly asked...


Guest

Recommended Posts

Good morning to everyone,

I am writing for you from perualpacayarn.com. We bought online mercant 3.0.2 trough one of the companys in US called XXX

We are struggling. We are just starting the company and our budget is limited, so many things we need to do by ourselves and waiting replay from XXX has been taken week so far(still waiting).

for example

1. Clicking "GREATE AN ACCOUNT" we are asking many questions from our clients in our registration form.

I would like to keep ONLY section "Your personal details" and "Your Password" and I would like to deactivate the rest.

Can I do this without making mess in the webpage config.

I do have admin page, but the company in us XXX told us not to change anything without them. So every time, when I need to change something, I need to contact with them. We need to change things ALL the time.

Thank You

V 2.3.1:

 

Is there a simple way to modify the index so that it will check to see if a category has subcategory images, and if it doesn't, then output a custom text (or reference a new file that contains the text); otherwise display the subcategory images?

 

I have "Modular Front Page" installed and currently have my mission statement on the front page. Some of my categories have subcats that I don't want to use images or links for, so they show as a blank page in the main body. I would like the Modular Front Page content to continue to show until the customer reaches a category with subcategory images.

 

It seems like this could be handled easily by adding an if-else, but I don't have the know-how to make it work.

Hi gals and pals.. smile.png

 

for the contentBoxHeading and infoBoxHeading, I would like to use the span -tag to avoid jagged headings.

My right corner image is not in perfect alignment...

 

Any help is appreciated, I'd love to avoid headaches as well :)

The place I'm stuck at is how to change the product text color, can anyone help me with this? I have no problem editing the site using catalog/stylsheet.css, header and footer pages and the jquery system but I can't seem to change the product text any ideas?

Hi Folks, I'm failing at the first hurdle!

I'm trying to configure 'payment' and install a module for OKPay. I got the correct module and put it in the payment folder on the server.

Now, when I go to Install Module I get this message:

Fatal error: Cannot redeclare class okpay in /home/casc2366/public_html/shop2/includes/modules/payment/okpay.php

 

and I can't find anything on this forum which relates to it.

Can anyone help me with a resolve?

Thank you in anticipation, Steve

Click the "Cannot redeclare ..." - How to find/fix it" link in my signature.

If I suggest you edit any file(s) make a backup first - I'm not perfect and neither are you.

I can't get any of these hacks to work. I,ve made some of changes but they are not taking effect when I refresh my browser.

 

e.g

 

I changed the privacy info code to show this.

 

<?php

/*

$Id$

osCommerce, Open Source E-Commerce Solutions

http://www.oscommerce.com

Copyright © 2002 osCommerce

Released under the GNU General Public License

*/

define

(

 

'NAVBAR_TITLE', 'Privacy Notice');

define

(

 

'HEADING_TITLE', 'Privacy Notice');

define

(

 

'TEXT_INFORMATION', 'Privacy info this is the changed version');

?>

 

Then I uploaded it back to the includes\languages\english directory on my server.

 

When I refreshed the browser all I got was the same old message. I even cleared my browser cache to make sure I wasnt getting a stale record.

 

I thought PHP was dynamic so it should have been served right away.

 

Please can someone help.

Is there any reason why you have all those extra line feeds in there?

 

Try

 

<?php
/*

 Copyright (c) 2002 osCommerce

*/
define('NAVBAR_TITLE', 'Privacy Notice');
define('HEADING_TITLE', 'Privacy Notice');
define('TEXT_INFORMATION', 'Privacy info changed');
?>

 

Cheers

How do I edit the CSS?

I want the header where the logo is to ne taller?

Do I need to do this with an html editor (dreamweaver)? Can it be done from within the OScommerse site?

I looked everywhere on the site but could not find css editor.

Ok, I got the site up and running, only took me 6 days. Thanks for everything people have posted in the past, as that has helped me out a lot.

 

There are just a few issues I am trying to figure out, and can't seem to find the answers yet.

 

1. Is there a description somewhere that explains what needs to be placed in the OpenSearch module in the Admin section of the site. Not all the code stuff, but something that explains each box in the Admin section for this module.

 

2. I'm trying to get the site out there and get customer's in, but to be honest, I do not know code, and all the talks of meta tags and such, has confused the heck out of me. Is there other options?

oscommerce 2.2-MS2 is very outdated, it requires an old version of php and MySQL on the server, I strongly advise you to use the latest version of osC.

 

If you have purchased a template based on MS2, go back for a refund. The latest is 2.3.1

 

Note MS2 has many security issues, so if you persist with it (and your host is happy keep their server degraded to support it) make sure you apply all the security measures detailed in the pinned thread in the 2.x security forum
