bkellum Posted February 19, 2010 Share Posted February 19, 2010 Okay, I am having an issue with STS and dynamenu when doing vertical flyouts. I have FINALLY gotten these two contributions to work together with flyouts (may have been working before, cause I just noticed something). Here is my problem: The flyout menu appears in the wrong location!!! But only when I'm using a template. When not using a template, it flys out correctly. The flyout is starting at the VERY BOTTOM of the page, on the far left hand side. Outside of where ANYTHING should be located. Now, this only happens when using a STS template (I've tried several, all with no luck). Any help or tips would be appreciated. I've used firebug to try and find the problem and it is showing that the 3 DIV ID's for the 3 primary categories (new test OSC shop) show up after the footer. Please help!! You can see the test store http://nalsworkshop....osorc/index.php Naloomi Have you looked in the STS Power Pack site (site for all STS addons) and compare what I have uploaded there with your files? The problem is not STS but how you installed Dynamenu to work in a STS template.

Naloomi Posted February 19, 2010 Share Posted February 19, 2010 While I have not done that specifically, I have taken the stsdynamenu file that I got from Sounds Good Productions earlier today, copied the files directly from the zip file to the virgin osCommerce files, replacing the original files with the changed ones from within that zip file.

sarafina Posted February 19, 2010 Share Posted February 19, 2010 Well, let's look at the error... Template file does not existLet's assume that we are missing a template here includes/sts_templates/single/boxes/infobox.php.htmlIt would appear that you are missing infobox.php.html What is happening here is that you are not running a fresh install. If you were, you would not be requiring the infobox template. I would have to think that you configured your STS Default Module to use the Infobox Template feature along with using the "Single" template set. The STS User Manual explains each template set in Chapter 10, which tells us that the "Single" template set does not use the infobox template feature so you shouldn't turn it on for that template set. If you turn on the Infobox Template feature (set it to true), then STS will look for at least a default infobox template (infobox.php.html) in a "boxes" folder, inside the current template set. STS is doing exactly what it is supposed to do. Where exactly is the user manual? I don't see it in my files.

sahilsaid Posted February 19, 2010 Share Posted February 19, 2010 Hi, I cannot add a boxes in the column after installing the latest STS. Please tell me which files to edit so I can display the boxes in the colum instead now it says $categorybox$, etc. Image below. I can see that file "sts_template.html" has same texts as $categorybox$ and all other similar texts that are displayed in left and right columns. but don't know the code that replaces this text so I can display the category box instead of $categorybox$ text.

Notice how the entire page is being included in the middle "content" area? This shows that you modified the STS Default Module incorrectly. Change it back to the default settings and then only change the template set to what you want and set Use Infobox templates and Use Tempaltes to True. The problem is what you changed in the "Files to include" section of the module.

That tells me something else is not configured correctly regarding your osCommerce shop. Did you make the mistake of setting the "Use Search Engine Safe URLs (still in development)" to TRUE in your ADMIN | Configuration settings? If so, change it to FALSE.

Notice that STS IS bringing in the infoboxes, it's just displaying them in the content area. Turn off the Infobox Admin contribution and test. The latest version of that contribution combines the column_left/right.php files (not good). By the way, there really is no reason to use both Infobox Admin and the Infobox Template Feature together. You should choose one or the other. Both contributions are trying to do the same thing. Note: You can still use STS, just you would need to turn off the Infobox Template feature in the STS Default Module in the Admin. You would also need to remove all of the infobox tags since Infobox Admin is controlling your right and left columns (you can't have both).

Did you have an older version of STS installed at one time? Such as prior to version 4? If so, remove all STS code from your configure.php files. Since v4, STS does not add any code in the configure.php files.

sahilsaid Posted February 20, 2010 Share Posted February 20, 2010 Thank you for all your help, Now, I have removed the infobox admin addon and also the mistake I was making is that I forgot to edit the column_left & right file after uploading the default files from original oscommerce setup. Sorry one more question, is that is there any way that I can make the content page in the middle bit wider so the information that gets missing on the right can be seen without scrolling to the right. If you can just tell me which files to edit. Is the main CSS file or the html file? Thank you for your help so, Really appreciate it.

It appears you have made quite a few edits to the core code of osCommerce prior to installing STS. It is within the code that you modified that is causing the page to be off like that. The default osCommerce does not display the billing and shipping info side by side but rather vertically one above the other.

Here is a sample: div#column_left { position: relative; float: left; width: 190px; padding: 0px 0px 10px 0px; min-height: 300px; overflow: hidden; } div#column_middle { position: relative; float: left; width: 526px; min-height: 300px; padding: 10px 20px 10px 20px; overflow: auto; } div#column_right { position: relative; float: left; width: 190px; padding: 0px 0px 10px 0px; min-height: 300px; overflow: hidden; } Quote Bill Kellum Sounds Good Productions STS Tutorials & more: STSv4.6, STS Add-ons (STS Power Pack), STS V4 Forum STS Forum FREE TEMPLATE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snarg Posted February 21, 2010 Share Posted February 21, 2010 Hello, I am trying to create a page with a layout similar to this: While doing some research I have come across what, I thought, would be the answer to my problem: The CSS element 'float'. However, I can not, for the life of me, get it to work how I would like. Below is the relevant portion of my stylesheet.css: TABLE.HighlandInfo { float:left; } And, below is the relevant portion of the page I am working on: <!-- Main table --> <table class="HighlandInfo" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="3"> <tr><td>$scottish_highlands</td></tr> </table> <table border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="3"> <tr><td>$content</td></tr> </table> Here is a link to the page I am working on: http://www.tallgrass-farms.com/highland_info.php (I realize the page is ugly :) I would like to get the text to 'warp' around the infobox. If you need additional information please, let me know. Thank you in advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks That means that you did not make the updates from the v4.6 installation. Upload the new includes/classes/sts.php from the contribution to your site. Since you didn't do this, you should probably go over your entire STS installation to make sure you did not miss anything else. Once you have that installed, it will only display warning or error messages to let you or the customer know what is going on, such as bad credit card number, etc. Quote Bill Kellum Sounds Good Productions STS Tutorials & more: STSv4.6, STS Add-ons (STS Power Pack), STS V4 Forum STS Forum FREE TEMPLATE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so, Go to catalog/includes/languages/english/index.php Find the following line that starts with the following (about line 13 – usually the first one ) and change it to what you want it to say define('HEADING_TITLE', 'TEXT_MAIN', 'This is a default setup blah blah .
