STS - Popup images not working

moodsmm · January 20, 2008

i think this forum's posts are text-wrapped that's why its cut up into diff lines.. but in my code editor, its in a line.

same thing, when i turn of STS, the popup works.. strange!

Because you have STS, you have to put the JavaScript code somewhere else....

I don't know where it needs to be with STS.

If i ever find out, will share it here too. :)

This thread has completely gotten off the subject "Replying to STS - Popup images not working".

The suggestions given to correct the problem will only make things worse for users who have STS version 4 and above.

I suggest anyone who has STS and is experiencing issues with the popup image go to the STSv4 Forum to seek support (link is in my signature below).

STS pulls in the JavaScript from the same location as a non-STS shop does. The only requirement is to place a tag in the head section of your template. This is what makes the HTML template different from any other non-osC HTML page. If you do not place the tag in the head section of your template then STS does not know where to look for the osCommerce JavaScript.

If you have the headcontent tag in your head section, then the problem is not related to STS, even if it works with STS off. This only means that you mucked up the origianl osC JavaScript call with your custom code somewhere. If you recently installed a contribution that deviates from the stock popup image, then that is where you need to look. Your shop is not stable and will most likely not work with other contributions, not just issues with STS. STS relies on a stable running osCommerce shop.

Hope that helps somehow,

I was having this issue and I put the javascript code in the head tag of my template file. Seems to work fine for me now.

That is NOT the correct way. You are just putting a "bandaide" over a "user-error" that will come back and cause you problems later on, especially with other contributions that need the code that the $headcontent tag brings in as well as osC info regarding metatags.

Not sure if this has been covered before, but basically I was 'messing around' with the code in an osCommerce store I am working on for a client (which has STS installed) and today the popup images were not working!

I did a "view source" in IE of a random product (displayed from product_info.php), and discovered this a few lines down from the top of the source:

<!-- start get_javascript(applicationtop2header) //-->

<!-- end get_javascript(applicationtop2header) //-->

It is supposed to be:

<!-- start get_javascript(applicationtop2header) //-->
<script language="javascript"><!--
function popupWindow(url) {
 window.open(url,'popupWindow','toolbar=no,location=no,directories=no,status=no,menubar=no,scrollbars=no,res
izable=yes,copyhistory=no,width=100,height=100,screenX=150,screenY=150,top=150,le
ft=150')
}
//--></script>
<!-- end get_javascript(applicationtop2header) //-->

In the end I found out that the problem was due to some STS code missing from the top of catalog/includes/header.php:

// START STS 4.1
$sts->restart_capture ('applicationtop2header');
// END STS 4.1

The above code must be placed at the top of the page (i.e. before any other code). Now I have working popups again!

Hope this helps.

Cheers,

Sam

Hi, im having a similar problem with STS only the popup is working but its showing a blank template file in a small box. When i stretch the window, i can see my normal template file without any content where the $content tag would be. It's not showing the actual popup_image.php template file for some reason, am i missing a file or some code somewhere? Thanks.

Here's a link to a product page:

http://heronblu.com/catalog/product_info.p...e/women-style-1

I have a few mods installed such as SEO URLs and Maxi DVD extra images mod. SPPC is installed too and Easy Populate.

Hi, i still have the popup image problem and have tried all the suggestions on this thread but its still not working almost a year later...

Has anyone else discovered any other reasons why this might not be working?

A page where the problem occurs...: http://heronblu.com/catalog/product_info.php/cPath/98_79_80/products_id/828

Im just using the normal catalog/product_info.php file for my template, not the STS one but when i enable the template for the product info page, it doesnt change to the STS template. Is this correct for the Product Info STS settings?:

Product info templates and content templates (v2.1.0)

Use template for product info page

true

Enable STS3 compatibility mode

false

Files for normal template

sts_user_code.php

Files for content template

sts_user_code.php;product_info.php.html

Working on a store for a client, www.hawk-stock.com

I am using STS but no other mods. Popup images won't work. php isn't my strong suit, I need help figuring this one out.

I did not edit the popup_image.php file at all. Help please!

This doesn't appear to be an Oscommerce installation.

If you've tried everything trying to get popup images to work with STS then maybe this is the one little thing left to try. It seems to have kinda half worked for me. Go into Configuration/My Store in the admin and change "Use Search-Engine Safe URLs" to False. Mine was set to true and was interfering with the links generated for the popup images :)

You should NEVER have that setting set to true unless you have installed on of the SEO contributions. If you have it set to true, then no telling what will not work in your shop.

Hi,

couldn't find the answer , but a fter some thinking and testing I come up with a soluition or being able to use cataloglogo placholder in popup_image file rather than manualy writing out is location.

in sts_inc/popup_image.php

use

<?php
/*
 $Id: popup_image.php,v MoPics 6 2003/06/05 23:26:23 Rigadin $

 osCommerce, Open Source E-Commerce Solutions
 http://www.oscommerce.com

 Copyright (c) 2003 osCommerce

*/
$sts->template['cataloglogo'] = '<a href="' . tep_href_link(FILENAME_DEFAULT) . '">' . tep_image(DIR_WS_IMAGES . STORE_LOGO, STORE_NAME); 

 $products_query = tep_db_query("select pd.products_name, p.products_model, p.products_image from " . TABLE_PRODUCTS . " p left join " . TABLE_PRODUCTS_DESCRIPTION . " pd on p.products_id = pd.products_id where p.products_status = '1' and p.products_id = '" . (int)$HTTP_GET_VARS['pID'] . "' and pd.language_id = '" . (int)$languages_id . "'");
 $products = tep_db_fetch_array($products_query);

$sts->template['productname'] = $products['products_name'];
$sts->template['productmodel'] =  $products['products_model'];
$sts->template['popupimage'] = tep_image(DIR_WS_IMAGES . $products['products_image'],'','','', 'name="prodimage"');

// Empty placeholders, to be used in case you build something for several product images
 $sts->template['back']=''; // Back button, in case there are several product images
$sts->template['next']= ''; // Next button
$sts->template['count']=''; // For the text 1/7 (first picture on seven, ...)

?>

basically added the catalogologo line at the top, now I can use it as a placeholder in the popupimage I cant see any ill affects can any tell me if this is going to cuase problems down the line or its an okay solution

Thanks
