[contribution] Simple Template System (sts)

Recommended Posts

When I click on a category, it just brings up the index.php.html page. How do I make it bring up a page that lists all the products in the category?

 

I suppose what I could do is just remove the content/text from index.php.html and replace it with $content - but then which template file dictates what is presented on the opening/home page?

 

You would use index.php_0.html for your home page.

 

You need to add the $content tag back into your index.php.html template or you will lose most of the osCommerce functions for your shop.

That didn't work. The site doesn't use index.php_0.html as the home page. So it uses index.html.php and that pages actually brings up errors:

 

Warning: include(includes/modules/FILENAME_UPCOMING_PRODUCTS) [function.include]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/user/public_html/dev/store/index.php on line 316

Warning: include(includes/modules/FILENAME_UPCOMING_PRODUCTS) [function.include]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/user/public_html/dev/store/index.php on line 316

Warning: include() [function.include]: Failed opening 'includes/modules/FILENAME_UPCOMING_PRODUCTS' for inclusion (include_path='.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php') in /home/user/public_html/dev/store/index.php on line 316

 

 

Any idea why my site isn't using index.php_0.html as the home page?

 

Thank you

It should without any issues unless you are not running the latest version (STSv4.5.8). Have you enabled the STS Index Module in the admin?

 

The other error has nothing to do with STS as it is pointing to includes/modules/upcoming_products.php.

Hi all,

 

I've had a shop going using a basic STS template for about 3 years and its well overdue a change. Unfortunately, whatever I do, I can't get the template to change. It always displays my old one.

 

The only part of the STS module within admin that responds is setting "Use Templates" to false, which causes the site to lose all formatting, as expected. Anything else I amend, always keeps the old style.

 

I've tried emptying my cache and tmp directories, but it makes no difference whatsoever. Does anybody know where the hell it is getting this template from ?!

 

Cheers

 

Andy

You most likely had an older version of STS installed at one time and did not completely delete it. The older versions of STS made changes to the configuration files so you will need to look in there.

Thanks Bill ! You were most definitely correct. I didn't realise there were lines within configure.php as I was using attempting to upgrade using the install guide for a much later version than I had installed previously.

 

Your help is much appreciated !

 

Cheers

Hi !

 

I'm trying to use a variable text define into my template.

 

I've had it in my english.php file, like that : define('MY_VARIABLE', 'My text');

 

But in my template i can't find how to use it. I want to put it into a div like that :

 

<div>
	MY_VARIABLE
</div>

 

But it doesn't work. I think i've missed something :P

 

Thanks ;)

You either need to add a PHP echo statement in your template or create a STS tag for the text.

Hi,

I've created some placeholders in sts_user_code.php, but one of them that i'm using in content/product_info.php.html only works with certain names... example:

 

I've created:

 

$sts->start_capture();
require('parcelas.php');
$sts->stop_capture('parcelas');

 

and put $parcelas in content/product_info.php.html

 

it doesn't work...

 

but if I change $sts->stop_capture('parcelas'); to $sts->stop_capture('cartoes'); and make the change in product_info too, it works! just because the name...

 

what's happening?

 

thanks!!!

I've searched through the forum but cannot seem to find an answer. I've installed STS 4.5.8 and I would like to style the headers of just the left and right column info boxes (Categories box in particular), so that they use a non-repeating image for the background and have a fixed width, however changing the TD.infoBoxHeader style also changes the header in things like the Featured Item Box and Product Info box.

 

Is there a way to style just one particular box header that I'm missing? Is there something I need to do to allow STS or OSC to recognize a new style class for a table?

Nevermind I sorted it out, since I was using the STS Power Pack them with the categories css menu, I had to make an infobox_categories_cssmenu.php.html file (the standard infobox_categories.php.html file did not apply.

Of course. You simply need to take advantage of the Infobox Template feature in STS.

I have sts template 4.5.8 installed on site with rss feed. When sts isn't activate all working, and when I surf in the site and I click on rss symbol I see the correct page of rss feed. If I activate sts, I enter in the site and click on rss symbol but it appear the form for download rss.php and don't work. Why?! What can I do?

Thanks in advance.

Hi all,

 

This is a totally confused female here :blush:

 

I've spent a week checking out the module. I've finally read all of the posts in this thread. I have no index.php_0.html file. Am I supposed to?

 

I've re-downloaded "Latest version of STS is 4.5.8" and explored the whole folder, there is no index.php_0.html file included. Do I need to make one?

 

Sorry to be a pain, told you I was confused. The more I read the more muddled I become.

 

Thank you in advance, Tina

Hello Tina,

 

I suggest that you take a look at the following Newbie Tips:

 

Post #5160 in the STSv4 Support Thread:

http://www.oscommerce.com/forums/index.php?s=&...t&p=1400113

 

Also, take a look at the docs folder that came with the STSv4.5.8 download as it helps explain the different STS modules and what each one does.

You would need to convert the photoshop image to an HTML page. Photoshop has the ability to do this within the program itself (see slice).

 

Once you have your HTML page, you would need to convert it to a STS template. This is very simple to do.

  1. First, install STSv4.5.8
  2. Rename the sts_template.html to sts_template_orig.html
  3. Upload your photoshop HTML page to your STS template folder (includes/sts_templates/*your_template_folder/photoshop.html)
  4. Rename your photoshop.html to sts_template.html. This will now be your default template.
  5. Now begin converting your new sts_template.html to a STS template by adding the beginning code found in the blank template that came with the download (includes/sts_templates/test/blank.html). You need this in order for STS to know that this is indeed a STS template page.
  6. Begin adding more template pages if you need them or you can run your entire site based off of the default template you created in the previous steps above.

Hope that helped you out,

Bill Kellum

I am having issues with the info_box template for STS. I have installed the latest version of STS and osCommerce and when I change the info_box template I do not get a change. I have turned on info box templates in the admin mode, and tried changing the filename to another specific category (ie infobox_categories.php.html) this still does not change the look or feel of it. Is there something i have done wrong? I know that i can change some things in the css to make it different but I want to be able to change the picture in the corner and insert some of my own text can this be done?

You have to save your infobox templates in your template folder's "boxes" folder.

 

See the STSv4 Forum link in my signature below (It will take you to a set of Newbie Links that you should read up on).
