[contribution] STS 4.5.8 - Beginners Tutorial


fb4u

Recommended Posts

Hi guys,

I am writing a tutorial for the 'layman' on STS 4.5.8 (the latest of the STS 4 versions). I have done 2 modules: the Default, and the Product Info module so far.

 

The reason why I am writing these tutorials and documenting them is coz, despite the great documentation from Bill Kellum "bkellum", and tho I had this module in its earlier incarnations, I never really got my head round to understanding how it all tied together. So I thought this time round I would hunker down and write it out as simply as I can - as if meant for a first time user - with as many pics and graphics as possible.

 

I know it really helped me in this process. It would be great if someone else could find it useful too. :wub:

 

Would you mind having a look? You can find it at: STS 4.5.8 - Beginner's Tutorial

 

Thanks!

Helena

Helena,

 

Great job on the tutorial! ;)

 

I think the STS Users would like to see this uploaded in the STSv4 Power Pack site, which is a site dedicated to all STS add-ons, tutorials, extras, etc.

A PDF file would be great in the STS Power Pack site.

 

I have a Infobox Tutorial (that I never finished) that I need to upload as well.

 

Also, I may be uploading a new version of STS sometime soon and could insert your tutorial into the main download if you wanted me to.

 

Again, Great Job!

Bill Kellum

Wow Bill! Of all the hoped-for responses to get, I never expect to get one from you. I am bowled over and and very honoured you replied!!

THANK YOU

I would be over-pleased to have this uploaded into the STSv4 Power Pack .. but I don't know how to do that. Would u mind terribly giving me some pointers?

And should I make it into a pdf file for that purpose?

I still have more to write before I finish the tutorial ... which is me learning and figuring out as I write.

 

Bill, I also need to ask you a personal question so i am about to message you now. Thank you so much again for your thumbs up!

Kow-towing with much appreciation.

cheers,

Helena

Use the link in my signature (STS Add-ons Power Pack Site) or here:

http://www.oscommerce.com/community/contributions,4456

 

Simply upload a new file (your PDF version of your STS Beginner Tutorial) using the upper right icon "Add a File to this Package".

 

You could either break it up into single chapter tutorials or one complete tutorial (up to you).

 

Thanks,

Bill Kellum

Hi again Bill,

thanks for the information. I did that and uploaded the .pdf file (247kb) and clicked Submit. But nothing happened and I can't see what I submitted appearing.

So am not sure if I need to submit again or just to wait? Does the system take a while before the new submission shows up? And as the upload was less than 300kb, I would think it would not be in the "waiting for approval" queue?

 

Cheers,

Helena

It most likely got denied if it was not in a zip format. Just zip the pdf and try again.

Hello Bill,

sorry. My fault. Feel like such a doofus. Thanks for putting me on the right path.

All done :)

Cheers,
