bkellum Posted June 6, 2009 Share Posted June 6, 2009 Hi I am interested in finding a way to implement this contribution: Links in Infobox header text http://addons.oscommerce.com/info/5791 However, I tried it and it broke the site - I'm guessing it's not compatible with STS. Anyone else know a way to get this working within STS? Why would you want to use it with STS??? Simply use the infobox template feature already within STS and create your header text links to go anywhere you want.

SpankyAndy Posted June 7, 2009 Share Posted June 7, 2009 Hi, I'm using STS v4.5.8 with the index module enabled and its working absolutely perfectly. However, I'm now looking to create a template for the first page of results for a specific category. While obviously I can create a template named index.php_11.html for category 11, this template will then be used for each set of results pages within this category. To avoid any Google penalties for duplicate content on pages 2, 3, etc within the category, I want the template to apply only to page 1. Does anybody know if this is possible? If so, how would I got about it? Cheers Andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
masears88 Posted June 8, 2009 Share Posted June 8, 2009 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). So I have looked at your tips and i did have a back up of the original template and I changed it back. I set the folder name in admin mode and turned on the infobox template. The structure of the template folder for infoboxes is includes/sts_templates/full2/boxes/ i just dont understand why this is not working?

femalegreenuser Posted June 8, 2009 Share Posted June 8, 2009 Hi Michael, I finally worked out how to use STS after I read this tutorial . Begin just down the page at "STS 4 - what does it do?". It's only about 5 pages or so, but it made it so much clearer for me. Hope it helps you too. Kind regards, Tina So I have looked at your tips and i did have a back up of the original template and I changed it back. I set the folder name in admin mode and turned on the infobox template.

I think too many STS Users forget about the STSv4 Power Pack download site. A link is provided in the STS User Manual (also full of helpful tips) as well as in my signature below.

masears88 Posted June 11, 2009 Share Posted June 11, 2009 I would like to be able to put the manufacturers picture in the product info page with the product and possibly the name is this possible? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnnybebad Posted June 11, 2009 Share Posted June 11, 2009 Hi, I have the featured products module installed, and noticed today that the featured.php in includes modules has issues with my current template. 1. its displayed in sts, except what would be the headertext is shown but not in the correct colour. 2. this appears to be due to the tep.link, as when you replace this with the standard sprintf it is displayed as I would expect, although now I dont have a link to my featured products. $info_box_contents[] = array('align' => 'left', 'text' => '<a class="headerNavigation" href="' . tep_href_link(FILENAME_FEATURED_PRODUCTS) . '">' . TABLE_HEADING_FEATURED_PRODUCTS . '</a>'); This displays correctly as black font outside sts with a link to the featured products in the header. however in sts, I cant see the text because of the blck background image. new products displays as black font colour outside sts and white inside sts. The only difference is the the coding of the above line, indeed when I change it to:- $info_box_contents[] = array('text' => sprintf(TABLE_HEADING_FEATURED_PRODUCTS, strftime('%B'))); I get the right dipslay and no link, and the link is just as important. I have tried changing the class etc and have had no luck, with getting the correct display. Can someone point me in the right direction please with this think I am missing something simple to get it to work. Thanks Johnny Quote Getting better with mods but no programmer am I.

Guest Posted June 23, 2009 Share Posted June 23, 2009 Just curious but would this conflict with the InfoBox Admin contribution? I'm thinking it just might since it touches the info boxes.... Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you turn on the Infobox Template feature in Admin, it would over-ride the Infobox Admin contribution. Otherwise, STS would not effect that at all.

And if exists a specialprice, show the regularpricestrike instead of regularprice... thanks! I'm assuming you are using a product info content template. If so, all you need to do is add in the tags for the regular price and the special price. Look to the sample product info template that was provided in the STSv4.5.8 download in the "sts_templates/full/content" folder.

sonicfishconsulting Posted July 2, 2009 Share Posted July 2, 2009 Okay this is probably a really stupid question, because I have been pouring over the documentation of days now and I understand it, but it doesn't want to work. I keep trying to change the $content for my product info pages. I want to re-order all of it, the buttons from the bottom to the top under the product image and want to add more info boxes. I can't find a way. My site is in development and located at: http://www.sonicfishconsulting.com/clients...coast/index.php If someone could please, help... either here or email or phone or something, it would be greatly appreciated! :) Please and thank you! :rolleyes: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try using a File Comparison tool such as BeYond Compare or WinMerge to compare your shop's files with the files from the contribution. This will easily point out if anything was not installed correctly.

Is there a way I could email you an FTP login for my oscommerce and you could just see for yourself and then let me know? I can delete the FTP after? :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
