rseigel Posted April 12, 2003 Share Posted April 12, 2003 Has anyone fixed this mod to work with the CVS version? Obviously some stuff has changed and it won't work as is. :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ashlyn Posted April 15, 2003 Share Posted April 15, 2003 Just wondering if you got an answer to your question? I have had all sorts of problems with that contribution and need help too!

rseigel Posted April 15, 2003 Author Share Posted April 15, 2003 No answers. :( I'm just hacking my own. It's not as pretty but it works (almost). I'll try to pull the code out when I have it finished (which won't be easy as my site is far from stock OSC) and make a contribution out of it.

rseigel Posted April 15, 2003 Author Share Posted April 15, 2003 WHOA!!!!!!! :shock: Gary to the rescue. 8) (Good cause I had a few things that were getting ticky and pissing me off trying to make this work 100%. You da man Gary!) :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rseigel Posted April 15, 2003 Author Share Posted April 15, 2003 I think admin/categories.php changed significantly since then (which is the problem with the originial contribution - errr, wait a sec - I'll check). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rseigel Posted April 15, 2003 Author Share Posted April 15, 2003 Hmmm, guess not. Just the new file upload class since then. Should be good to go. 8) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rseigel Posted April 15, 2003 Author Share Posted April 15, 2003 Ummmm.... Revision 1.131 / (view) - annotate - [select for diffs] , Thu Apr 4 20:29:10 2002 UTC (12 months, 1 week ago) You sure that's the version you hacked? :shock: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaysin Posted April 17, 2003 Share Posted April 17, 2003 The version of categories.php I've hacked at is categories.php,v 1.131 - I can send it to you and you can see if it works ? Or try to copy it into an up2date MS1 categories.php... It should be fairly easy...if I give you a head start. It's basically a totally rewritten version of categories description (with a lot less code)... Sound interesting. Any Updates :roll: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rseigel Posted April 17, 2003 Author Share Posted April 17, 2003 Finally got it working. I'll add it as a contribution sometime today. Only thing I added to Gary's version really was multi-language support. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaysin Posted April 22, 2003 Share Posted April 22, 2003 Its a great contribution but is not working with MS1. If some one has used and installed with MS1, be great if post the codes :roll: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Group BCL Posted April 28, 2003 Share Posted April 28, 2003 I'm the author of the Categories Description mod, so I'll toss in my two cents. As far as I know, the 1.1 version does work with Milestone 1. I have MS1 on my home computer, and tested it, and it works for me. However, if I'm the only person to get it working with MS1, then it's because I'm too familiar with the code to notice subtle things when I'm applying my own patches. I've emailed my version of admin/categories.php to three or four people after they've said they can't get it to work. What has been the track record of people applying the mod to MS1? Have any who have tried it been successful? As far as the current snapshot goes, there was a change made mid-April where the code to handle an uploaded file (in this case, the category image) was changed to an object called upload. This has caused confusion among people trying to apply the 1.1 version, because a line of code in the README that says "look for this line ...." no longer exists. I'm still working on fixing that, and (sorry) no promises on when I'll get version 1.2 uploaded.

They stay with the workboard to speed up the process till version 3 or so... But dont kill me if i'm wrong....LOL :twisted: Quote Robert We all need to learn it once, how hard it may seem when you look at it, also you will master it someday ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

penge Posted May 10, 2003 Share Posted May 10, 2003 I have installed a 'loaded' OSC version which has the Categories Description Mod installed. When you select a link from the categories box, the description text is in times roman, which (I think!) needs an entry in the stylesheet to pick up a font style. The test site is at www.pigsick.co.uk/shop/default select the GIFT VOUCHER link to see the text. What do I need to enter into the stylesheet to make the font in keeping with the rest of the site? :roll: Thanks Penge Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
penge Posted May 10, 2003 Share Posted May 10, 2003 I have tried the change, but it does not work. One thing I noticed is in the admin when I add the categories description and preview it, it looks fine, the font is correct. Updating the page and viewing the catalog, it's still in Times. Strange :? Penge Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
penge Posted May 10, 2003 Share Posted May 10, 2003 I have frigged the problem by including html in the categories description box. I can't understand why the class is not picked up from the css, changing it from "main" to "category_desc" has no effect - the text is still times roman. It's ok in admin preview but not on the catalog site :!: I would love to know why :?: Penge Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ajeh Posted May 10, 2003 Share Posted May 10, 2003 Are you sure you defined the new class in the stylesheet.css? And if using thema ... did you define the right stylesheet.css? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
penge Posted May 10, 2003 Share Posted May 10, 2003 Yes, I am using thema, changed the thema stylesheet & the default css - just for good measure. Penge Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ajeh Posted May 10, 2003 Share Posted May 10, 2003 Can you paste here the new class that you added to your style sheet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ajeh Posted May 10, 2003 Share Posted May 10, 2003 I am assuming you are making changes to: includes/classes/thema/1/stylesheet.css Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
