Guest Posted August 22, 2006 Share Posted August 22, 2006 Hey Bill & others, Been using osC for a number of years. When I first installed it I waded my way through much of the main code and hacked my own site design. Anyone who has done this knows just how flippin much work that is! This being said I'm very comfortable around the code, editing commands, changing permissions, etc. I just downloaded and installed a clean copy of osC 2.2ms2-060817 tonight. Once installed I figured I'd give your templete contrib a try instead of hacking the code all over. I downloaded and installed the current STS 4.2 contrib. No other code changes were made to the original code before installing STS. My problem now is when I refreshed the mainpage of the site theres nothing, zip, nada. Looking at the loaded code from Mozilla all I see is the following html code: <html><body></body></html> From the admin panel I can disable "Use Templates", refresh and the site loads again. I DO see that HTC was installed and working fine. I've gone back twice now making sure all files were properly copied. Everything looks like it should but still not working. Has your latest STS 4.2 been tested with the newly posted 2.2ms2-060817 code? Any idea what could be causing this? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 22, 2006 Share Posted August 22, 2006 Ohh also I found a small spelling error in the Install_ReadMe_First.doc. On page 2 where you explain the permissions you mistyped the word languages. ? catalog/includes/lanquages/english/header_tags.php should be ? catalog/includes/languages/english/header_tags.php :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hanaonline Posted August 22, 2006 Share Posted August 22, 2006 I fixed it! It's always something simple, yet it is always so hard to find your own simple mistakes....it's a bit like proof reading for yourself, it just doesn't happen. Thanks for everyone's replies. I'm sure I will be back with my next stupid question soon :rolleyes: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 22, 2006 Share Posted August 22, 2006 OK well thinking that I must have done something wrong I rm -rf 'ed the public_html directory, wiped the database and reinstalled both the osC 2.2ms2-060817 code and then STS 4.2. Still have the same issue. Just a blank page when its enabled. Has anyone else done a fresh clean install and got it working? At this point I'm stuck as I dont want to bother installing anything else until this is resolved. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At this point I'm stuck as I dont want to bother installing anything else until this is resolved. Isn't that an issue with gzip compression? If it's on (via php.ini) turn it off. If it's off, turn it on. In htaccess # Directive to ensure gzip works properly # php_flag zlib.output_compression On # Optionally compression level # php_value zlib.output_compression_level 5 HTH, Iggy Quote Everything's funny but nothing's a joke...

Guest Posted August 22, 2006 Share Posted August 22, 2006 Yes! :thumbsup: Actually it wasn't in the .htaccess file though but under Admin > Configuration > GZip Compression. It was enabled there. Thank you! So STS will not work with Compression enabled? Also I was wondering if there were any repositories/collections of STS templetes around. Any pointers? Thanks again. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you! So STS will not work with Compression enabled? Also I was wondering if there were any repositories/collections of STS templetes around. Any pointers? Thanks again. :D Yes, STS will work with GZIP but you will need to take it down a bit or tweak the code. I have a patch available (line of code) if you really need GZIP. Also, I do not have them available yet, but I am working on some templates that I will post when completed.

Bill Kellum Hi Bill, I was able to get gzip functional by setting zlib.output_compression On in my php.ini Previous versions of STS (2.0.1) didn't require that to set GZIP true in the osC admin. Not sure what that indicates code wise but I hope it's a clue. Iggy Quote Everything's funny but nothing's a joke... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure what that indicates code wise but I hope it's a clue. Iggy Iggy, I like the solution you gave earlier: zlib.output_compression = On either in your php.ini or via a .htaccess file. At the top level of your .htaccess file put the following: php_flag zlib.output_compression On php_value zlib.output_compression_level 5 This should give site wide compression.

You need catalog/includes/modules/sts_inc/sts_display_output.php. Check all of your files and folders to make sure you did not miss anything else.

tokyoguy Posted August 23, 2006 Share Posted August 23, 2006 I found out what the nature of my problem was, though not the exact cause. I was able to switch "Use templates" to "true" by telnet'ing into the DB and updating it by hand. I still don't know why the command doesn't work from admin/modules.php, but at least I have a workaround. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lei Posted August 23, 2006 Share Posted August 23, 2006 I love this contribution, it makes designing so much easier, however, I am having a bit of an issue with the product template portion. I'm not even sure I need it, that's how confused I am. What I am working on is located here Example the area that contains the large box in the middle with the cd, is where I would like the products to be located, we only have 6 and I want them to be 3 to row in that center area with their pictures and such, but I'm unsure how to accomplish that with this system. I have a product template created but I don't know how to get my template page to read it instead of the new products for whatever month.... I hope this made sense....any help would be greatly appreciated... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iggy Posted August 24, 2006 Share Posted August 24, 2006 Oh, and just to add, that doesn't mean there aren't plenty of traps and mines involved with most of these.

avail1now Posted August 24, 2006 Share Posted August 24, 2006 That is an impressive list there Iggy. I see you chose CCGV instead of CCGV(trad). The latter reportedly to be a cleaner install particularly with STS. Do you recall how many hours it took to get CCGV working?

From my notes it was a straight overwrite and early on Base osC install - osCommerce 2.2 Milestone 2 Update 051113 Simple Template System 4.1 added CCGV 5.16 - Credit Class & Gift Voucher added by overwrite. Moved redemption box above CC. Suppressed js error message on redemption osC and STS have since been updated. CCGV 5.16 has, amazingly given it's history, caused me no headache at all.
