[Contribution] STS v4


Guest

Recommended Posts

This is fairly simple. All you need to do is create a STS tag for the new infobox.

 

Here is what I like to use for a Newsletter Infobox:

 

http://www.oscommerce.com/community/contributions,535

 

As I stated above, the only thing needed to make this work in STS is to create a new variable for the newly created newsletter infobox:

 

   $sts->start_capture();
  require(DIR_WS_BOXES . 'newsletter.php');
  $sts->stop_capture('newsletter', 'box');

 

Hi Bill,

 

Thanks very much for the information in reply to my two posts :)

 

I'm sure I have created a new variable but I will double check it is correct. Does the contribution you mention allow a visitor to sig up just by entering an email address or do they have to put in more information?

 

Many thanks

Chris,

 

The stock osCommerce shop has some "hard coded" infobox images for the corners. An easy way to take care of this in order for the boxes to flow with your design is to upload some transparent gifs that are named the same as the stock images.

 

Use the following to do this very easily:

Hope this helped,

 

 

Ok, all is well, and I have it looking just the way I want it. Except when I click on a product information. When I do that, my template changes on the right side to include some boxes that I don't want. I getting confused on the templating...can anyone please help me. Thanks!

Hi bill,

 

I just checked and I do have

$sts->start_capture();

require(DIR_WS_BOXES . 'visitoremail.php');

$sts->stop_capture('newsletter', 'box');

 

already in my sts_user_code. The box shows fine but after clicking the submit button all the box placeholder names display instead of the actual boxes, it just seems to effect the boxes - all other links etc using other palceholder names are still working.

 

Maybe I should try the contribution you said you used - does it allow users to join the newsletter by just entering their email address?

 

Thanks

Mr. Kellum,

 

Any ideas on this?

 

Thanks!

Add the following code directly in your template where you want the name to appear:

 

<?php
 if ( tep_session_is_registered('customer_first_name') && tep_session_is_registered('customer_id') ) {
echo tep_output_string_protected($customer_first_name);
 }
?>

 

Sorry to be a nuisance but this doesn't work when I try it, I wonder if someone else can try to see if it works or not?

 

Thanks

Becki,

 

Try this:

 

Add the following code in your includes/modules/sts_inc/general.php file:

 

 

  $sts->start_capture();

 if ( tep_session_is_registered('customer_first_name') && tep_session_is_registered('customer_id') ) {
echo tep_output_string_protected($customer_first_name);
 }
 $sts->stop_capture ('customername');

 

Now add the new STS tag $customername wherever you want it in your template.

Mr. Kellum,

Thanks!

Chris,

Until you get to know how STS works, I suggest that you add a small tagline to each of your templates to help you find your way around.

 

Something like, "This is my default template sts_template.html" and "This is my home page template index.php_0.html" and "This is my create_account.php.html template" and so on.

 

Once you get familar with how STS works, you can remove the tag lines from the template. This is the reason why the sample tag lines were inserted in the first place.

Hi Bill!

Im trying to manage to inlude additional_image.php in product_info.php.html. from thiscontribution ( Ultra Pics 2.07.01 - incl. STS + CCGV + LightBox_1 )

 

I tryed to replicate the function of this beeacuse that was the only function that i found that reminded me of what im trying to do.

 

$sts->start_capture();

if ((USE_CACHE == 'true') && empty($SID)) {

echo tep_cache_also_purchased(3600);

} else {

include(DIR_WS_MODULES . FILENAME_ALSO_PURCHASED_PRODUCTS);

}

$sts->stop_capture ('alsopurchased'); // Get the result to the main array

$template_pinfo['alsopurchased']= $sts->template['alsopurchased']; // Put it in the product info

 

I thought that this would work beacuse that file also includes from modules as additional_image also do

 

but i cant make this work...

any idea how to get it to work so i only put $additionalimage in product_info under content?

 

Regards Tony

I'm not sure if this is the right forum for this.

 

I have a template where in the header, I want to display the number of products inthe shopping cart, and the total dollar amoun in their shopping cart. How would I do this in my template so that it looked like this:

 

5 Products | $45.00

 

Thanks!!

Hello Jrthor,

I set this up using the following.

 

http://www.oscommerce.com/community/contributions,1079

 

Following the directions their to show the cart info in the header.

 

I then modified mine to only show the number of items in the cart and the total price, by commenting out some of the unneeded stuff.

 

 if ($productno > 1) {
//echo ENTRY_HCART_CONTAINS;
//echo " ";
echo $productno;
echo " ";
//echo ENTRY_HCART_ITEMS;
echo " "; echo " ";
echo ENTRY_HCART_PRICE;
echo " ";
echo $totalprice; 
} elseif ($productno == 0) { 
//echo ENTRY_HCART_EMPTY;
echo $productno;
} else {
//echo ENTRY_HCART_CONTAINS; 
//echo " ";
echo $productno;
echo " ";
//echo ENTRY_HCART_ITEM;
echo " "; echo " ";
//echo ENTRY_HCART_PRICE;
echo " ";
echo $totalprice;

 

Hope that helps.

Now add the new STS tag $customername wherever you want it in your template.

 

Thanks Bill this worked! Does anyone know how I should go about changing the class of the text (I tried adding it to the STS tag but no joy)? And also is it possible to put a 'Hello' in front of the name? it needs to be incorporated into the $customername tag so that it doesn't display when people are not logged in?

 

Thanks Again :)

Take a look at my solution here: Post #4183

http://www.oscommerce.com/forums/index.php?sho...p;#entry1278943

 

 

Thats spot on, couldnt for the life of me find it anywhere.

 

add the two bits of script to the relevant files and then copied the $headcart into the header and it worked perfectly

 

 

Thanks for you help, do think searching this forum for stuff is hard work sometimes.

 

Thanks again

Scott,

 

Here is a simple solution for you:

 

Just to clarify...

 

This will create a new STS tag called $headcart that will allow you to place shopping cart details in your header (or anywehre else you want it).

 

Add the following in includes/modules/sts_inc/sts_user_code.php:

 

$sts->start_capture();
$productno = $cart->count_contents();
$totalprice = $currencies->format($cart->show_total());

if ($productno > 1) {
echo ENTRY_HCART_CONTAINS;
echo " ";
echo $productno;
echo " ";
echo ENTRY_HCART_ITEMS;
echo " "; echo " ";
echo ENTRY_HCART_PRICE;
echo " ";
echo $totalprice;
} elseif ($productno == 0) {
echo ENTRY_HCART_EMPTY;
} else {
echo ENTRY_HCART_CONTAINS;
echo " ";
echo $productno;
echo " ";
echo ENTRY_HCART_ITEM;
echo " "; echo " ";
echo ENTRY_HCART_PRICE;
echo " ";
echo $totalprice;
}
$sts->stop_capture ('headcart');

 

Now add the following in includes/languages/engish.php:

 

 

// STS Show Cart In Header
define('ENTRY_HCART_EMPTY', 'Your cart is empty');
define('ENTRY_HCART_CONTAINS', 'You have ');
define('ENTRY_HCART_ITEM', '<a href="shopping_cart.php" class="trailText">item in your cart</a>');
define('ENTRY_HCART_ITEMS', '<a href="shopping_cart.php" class="trailText">items in your cart</a>');
define('ENTRY_HCART_PRICE', '');

Thats it! Now use $headcart anywhere you want in your STS template files.

 

Enjoy,

 

 

 

Okay done this, but the addition of the code in the sts_user_code.php makes the following infoboxes loose there header images:-

caterogies, whats new and languages the rest appear okay.

 

the code with the addition recommended at the bottom, tried placing it in serval places and got the same problem. Can you advise if I need to change something please.

Thanks Bill this worked! Does anyone know how I should go about changing the class of the text (I tried adding it to the STS tag but no joy)? And also is it possible to put a 'Hello' in front of the name? it needs to be incorporated into the $customername tag so that it doesn't display when people are not logged in?

 

Thanks Again :)

 

Becki,

 

Here you go:

 

 
  $sts->start_capture();

 if ( tep_session_is_registered('customer_first_name') && tep_session_is_registered('customer_id') ) {
echo 'Hello ' . tep_output_string_protected($customer_first_name);
 }
 $sts->stop_capture ('customername');

The above will print out the following only when the customer is logged in:

 

Hello Bob

 

Add any style you want in your template:

 

<td class="pageHeading">$customername</td>

Alas this is still making the 3 info boxes named previously loose there heder title images, so have the boxed x's, but its only when adding the code into the system for the cart header.

Getting better with mods but no programmer am I.

Hi,

 

How I can to display $languagebox in a drop-down menu?

 

The file that makes the $languagebox display is includes/boxes/languages.php

 

I tried this but I get no the right result

 

<!-- languages //-->
	  <tr>
		<td>
<?php
 $info_box_contents = array();
 $info_box_contents[] = array('text' => BOX_HEADING_LANGUAGES);

 new infoBoxHeading($info_box_contents, false, false);

 if (!isset($lng) || (isset($lng) && !is_object($lng))) {
include(DIR_WS_CLASSES . 'language.php');
$lng = new language;
 }

 $languages_string = '';
 reset($lng->catalog_languages);

 $languages_array = array();
 while (list($key, $value) = each($lng->catalog_languages)) {
 $languages_array[] = array ('<a href="' . tep_href_link(basename($PHP_SELF), tep_get_all_get_params(array('language', 'currency')) . 'language=' . $key, $request_type) . '">' . tep_image(DIR_WS_LANGUAGES .  $value['directory'] . '/images/' . $value['image'], $value['name']) . '</a>');

 }


 $info_box_contents = array();
 $info_box_contents[] = array('align' => 'center',
						   'text' => tep_draw_pull_down_menu('languages', $languages_string) . $hidden_get_variables . tep_hide_session_id());


 new infoBox($info_box_contents);
?>

		</td>
	  </tr>
<!-- languages_eof //-->

 

 

An the error that displays is this:

 

Fatal error: Cannot use string offset as an array in C:\wamp\www\tienda\includes\functions\html_output.php on line 306

This is fairly simple. All you need to do is create a STS tag for the new infobox.

 

Here is what I like to use for a Newsletter Infobox:

 

http://www.oscommerce.com/community/contributions,535

 

As I stated above, the only thing needed to make this work in STS is to create a new variable for the newly created newsletter infobox:

 

Hi Bill, do you happen to know which version of this you are using? I've wasted so much time trying to install versions of contributions that just end up buggy or not working at all it would be a real advantage to know you have a version working ;). Thanks if you can remember! Just one qestion - what info do they have to give to sign up to the newsletter, just email?

 

BTW - this didn't fix getting the other newsletter contrib working but I'm willing to accept it was a waste of time and go with the one you mention!

   $sts->start_capture();
  require(DIR_WS_BOXES . 'newsletter.php');
  $sts->stop_capture('newsletter', 'box');

 

Many thanks and thanks again for the answer regarding the $customername.

Hey folks,

I am new to php etc. so please forgive me if I have done the equivilent of not having the modem plugged in. I had installed several mods to a new site this week. I was good with sts 4.5.8, Ultimate SEO Urls 2.6, OsC Catalog, Easy Populate 2.76, Product Listing Columns 2.2.8, Store feeds 3.3, Dynamic Sitemap 3.5.10. I guess Header tags 2.5.9 was too much. so I backed up and used STS v4.3.3 with HTC v2.6.0. Here is the error I am getting:

 

Warning: strstr() [function.strstr]: Empty delimiter in /home/treskel/public_html/includes/header_tags.php on line 43

 

Warning: strstr() [function.strstr]: Empty delimiter in /home/treskel/public_html/includes/header_tags.php on line 43

 

Line 43 is:

case (strstr($_SERVER['PHP_SELF'],FILENAME_DEFAULT) or strstr($PHP_SELF,FILENAME_DEFAULT) ):

 

Like I said, I am not too good with this stuff. I just can't figure this out. I looked for the usual suspects: missing files, typos, etc. I think the error means that strstr is bringing back no data? is this right? and what do I do about that?

Thanks in advance

Basically how that contrib works is you can either subscribe to the newsletter via the infobox if you are not a registered user, or if you are already registered you can subscribe

like normal in your account setttings. The data is kept in separate tables, the reason being

if you tried to keep them all in one table and someone who had subscribed to the newsletter

but then tried to to create an account it would make quite a problem as each registered account has

a unique email address.

FYI: PHP code CAN BE INSERTED INTO THE ACTUAL TEMPLATES.

 

There are a couple of different methods of including external files but first you should try to add the file name in the STS Modules in the admin. You would do this by creating a file called sts_form_check_ajx.js.php and upload it to your includes/modules/sts_inc/ folder.

 

The content of sts_form_check_ajax.js.php file should only contain the following:

 

 

<?php

*/

$sts->start_capture();



 if ( file_exists(DIR_WS_INCLUDES . '[font="Verdana"]form_check.js.php'[/font]) ) {





require(DIR_WS_INCLUDES . '[font="Verdana"]form_check.js.php'[/font]);

 }

 require(DIR_WS_INCLUDES . '[font="Verdana"]ajax.js.php'[/font]);

 }  

 $sts->stop_capture('header_ajax');

?>

 

Test your site to see if everything is working. If not, add $header_ajax to your template in the head section.

 

bkellum,

I have a similar problem with AJAX Search Suggest... and I believe it's because it can't include the files needed to render the results.

 

<?php echo tep_draw_form('quick_find', tep_href_link(FILENAME_ADVANCED_SEARCH_RESULT, '', 'NONSSL', false), 'get'); ?>
<?php 
echo tep_draw_input_field('keywords', '', 'id="txtSearch" size="40" autocomplete="off" maxlength="40" style="width:266px:font-size:13px;height:22px"')." ";
echo tep_hide_session_id();
?>
<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript" src="includes/class.OSCFieldSuggest.js"></script>
<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">
 /*<![CDATA[*/
 //Attention!!! put always this code above the HTML code of your field!!!
 var oscSearchSuggest = new OSCFieldSuggest('txtSearch', 'includes/search_suggest.xsl', 'searchsuggest.php');
 /*]]>*/
</script>
<?php echo tep_image_submit('button_go.gif', 'Search'); ?>

<?php echo '<a href="' . tep_href_link(FILENAME_ADVANCED_SEARCH) . '"><b>Advanced Search</b></a>'; ?>

 

I know it has to do with STS because when I turn it off it works well... but when I turn it on it doesn't.

AJAX Search suggest is supposed to do quick search and display it in a table... but the table is never filled with information. There is not include happening.

 

This is how a fellow osC user has it running but without STS --> www (DOT) smartoys (dot) be

 

Help Pleeeze :P

Hi!

Im trying to manage to inlude additional_image.php in product_info.php.html. from this contribution ( Ultra Pics 2.07.01 - incl. STS + CCGV + LightBox_1 )

 

I tryed to replicate the function of this beeacuse that was the only function that i found that reminded me of what im trying to do.

 

$sts->start_capture();

if ((USE_CACHE == 'true') && empty($SID)) {

echo tep_cache_also_purchased(3600);

} else {

include(DIR_WS_MODULES . FILENAME_ALSO_PURCHASED_PRODUCTS);

}

$sts->stop_capture ('alsopurchased'); // Get the result to the main array

$template_pinfo['alsopurchased']= $sts->template['alsopurchased']; // Put it in the product info

 

I thought that this would work beacuse that file also includes from modules as additional_image also do

 

but i cant make this work...

Has anyone manage to get it work to use $additionalimage in product_info under content?

 

Regards Tony
