[contribution] Simple Template System (sts)

Ok.  Is it customary to redirect to the catalog directory for an Oscommerce site?  Or should I have just installed the contents of catalog to my root?

There are a couple different ways.

 

Probably the best way is to make your catalog directory the same as your web's home page and have your web hosting provider enable (if they don't have it already) index.php as a valid default filename.

 

This will cause your home page to be your catalog page.

 

You can also do the index.php trick above to redirect to your catalog page, but this will hurt your search rankings (if that's an issue) because there will be no text or links to navigate and index on your home page, only the redirection.

 

You can do a similar trick with and index.html and a redirect option (which I don't remember the syntax for off the top of my head).

Hi, i am using the latest version of sts and I just noticed that when authorize.net sends back an error code to my checkout_process.php page the template is actually showing all the boxes, images in the right order yet no images are available (just showing the red x in IE) and the style sheets are not apparently being called.

 

I am not sure if it has anything to do with this contribution or not but if anyone has had or solved this problem i would love to know..

 

thanks..

I changed my template for includes/sts_templates/product_info.php.html that has a javascript button menu. Now my popup image doesnt work. I know its the new page because if I upload old style it works fine. This is the major difference in the page is in the <head> thats seems to be the problem. Other than this the template runs fine on other pages.

You need to use the copy to option under catalog/products in the setup to the top then it'll show up, I use wysiwyg and I think a mod to get that option, if this makes any sence.

Best Regards

Actually Frank, what I have is a main site and the oscommerce catalog is only one part of the site ( in other words my file directory for the shopping cart is something like: public_html/mainsite/catalog).

 

What I would like to do is use some of those variables, or at somehow get those infoboxes on the homepage of my mainsite. I am not looking for any particular order, I just want to find out how I can have them on it.

 

Thanks, and I hope that clears it up a bit (if not, visit my site an get a feel for what I am talking about: http://www.propheticministries.net)

http://www.propheticministries.net/Demo.htm

 

and here is what it looks like with the contrib:

Recently I heard from several people that are using the STS, that they are putting there tables (like the infoboxes) inside <p> tags. The way I learned it, block elements (like tables are) within <p> tags aren't allowed. I don't know the STS at all but if possible I would replace the <p> tags with <div>'s. You will need to set new margins and padding values then (since <p>'s have some by default because it is ment for text paragraphs and <div>'s don't because they are ment for layout, like positioning)

 

Again i don't know the STS at all so it might be nonsense what I just said. Only wonder why suddenly people (who use the STS) start using <p> tag this way. :huh:

Hello There,

 

I have installed STS on OSC 2.2MS2 , and i have got a theme that i want to implement with STS. The ScreenShot is as follows

 

market.JPG

 

 

Now in the screenshot at point 1 when i add the tag $categorybox to the template , it prints the whole box with categories .. what i want is that it just print the categories without the title *categories* so i can use mine ...you can also see it also adds a small corner of the box to the end result when i add $categorybox to my table ... how can i remove it and what tag should i use to print just the categories names and also how can i modify the font / sytle / size of the results of the tags .. as they seems to be not affected by the css i add.

 

kindly help me out

 

regards
