[contribution] Simple Template System (sts)

Recommended Posts

I don't use the STS myself and I haven't read this thread. But it looks like the STS has a bug/problem with sid's.

 

It seems to me that, if you add $sid to your STS links (and if you don't you will certainly have problems), the sid is allways shown, so also to spiders !

I have STS installed and running well - it's a great contribution! I hope this is the right place to post as I think the solution lies in STS.

 

I'm trying to configure the Wishlist2 contribution but there's a problem with the way the product info page is being built. The new 'add to wishlist' button is being placed to the left of the 'add to cart button'. As best I can tell from a day of searching the boards the problem is the 'add to wishlist' button is inside the same form tag as 'add to cart', so both buttons are acting as 'add to cart' buttons. Is anyone familiar with Wishlist2 or able to help with how to add a new form to the page so the two buttons can function separately?

 

Thanks in advance.

My product info pages are not showing parts of the STS Template. (k tried to do that for the outline title).

 

Anyways, I've been working on an OsC site, and am almost done with it. I've been installing contributions and doing some configuration myself. Well just recently after I rolled back from some changes that didn't work, my site is dropping part of the template.

 

http://69.20.52.85/ is the link.

 

If you click on the test product the "what's hot" (best sellers) box will disappear.

 

I had configured STS to only use one template file, so I don't think it's now trying to use multiple STS templates.

 

How can I fix this issue? I really don't want to reinstall / setup OsC.

 

Thank you,

-Nick

Any has any ideas?

STS is indeed a grand ol peice of work. I am thrilled by its abilities. However, I am a bit unclear as to the actual use of the template tags.

 

In the readme file it says...

 

Starting with version 2.00 you can now use multiple template files that will

change according to the category selected in index.php.

 

You can now create custom templates for any or each category.  Here is how

the appropriate template file is selected:

 

1) You can have a default site template by creating

 

  /catalog/includes/sts_template.html

 

2) You can have a default category template by creating

 

  /catalog/includes/sts_templates/index.php.html

 

3) You can have a different template for the Main Catalog Page (cPath=0) by

creating

 

  /catalog/includes/sts_templates/index.php_0.html

 

4) You can have a different template for the other Catalog pages (cPath=XX_YY)

by creating

 

  /catalog/includes/sts_templates/index.php_XX-YY.html

 

(where XX_YY is the cPath=XX_YY value you see in the categories URL.)

OK this makes sense to some degree. But can I use the tags like they were used in the sample "product_info.php.html-SAMPLE" page in:

 

/catalog/includes/sts_templates/index.php.html

/catalog/includes/sts_templates/index.php_0.html

/catalog/includes/sts_templates/index.php_XX-YY.html

(files in bold indicate template files)

 

I do not want to just display the default tags like in the main sts_template.html

eg:

$cartlogo

$urlcartlogo

$checkoutlogo

$urlcheckoutlogo

ect...

 

But rather the tags that are displayed in product_info.php.html where the main content goes. Such as:

$productdesc

$imagesmall

$imagelarge

I wish to use these tags in index.php_XX-YY.html, index.php_0.html ect... But am having no luck calling them to display. They display nothing.

?

I ask this question simply because the readme.txt says:

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

USING PRODUCT_INFO CONTENT TEMPLATES:

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Starting with version 2.00 you can now use PRODUCT_INFO TEMPLATES to customize

the $CONTENT section of your product information pages by creating:

 

  /catalog/includes/sts_templates/product_info.php.html

 

and using the product_info template variables (listed below) to layout

your product_info pages.

 

A very ugly but functional sample of a product_info.php.html file is provided

in the STS distribution.  This file is called:

 

  product_info.php.html-SAMPLE

 

To use this file on your site, you would copy it into your

 

  /catalog/includes/sts_templates/

 

directory and rename it to be

 

  product_info.php.html

I guess where the confusioin is where it says:

you can now use PRODUCT_INFO TEMPLATES to customize

the $CONTENT section of your product information pages by creating:......

This statement above leads me to beleive that I can display the content tags such as $productdesc, $imagesmall, $imagelargein in the other templates just like they are displayed in the product_info.php.html.

 

What I am trying to do is display a buy now button, the product picture, and a short product description on the index.php_XX-YY.html page. But I do not see any tags that allow me to display a buy now button and the actual correct link to add the item to the cart.

 

Anybody care to enlighten my lack on understanding here? :blink:

Thanks in advance!

Kind Regards,

Keven J

The problem has gotten even worse!

 

Now the "what's hot" (aka best sellers box) is completely gone.

 

I was tinkering with my install of OsC some more, what i was changing I thought was un related to STS, but apparently it is? Now the best sellers box has completely disappeared. I dont' understand what is going on with this.

 

I can't think of what to do, and I've tweaked so much of this setup that I can't really "start from scratch" anymore.

 

Can someone please help me! This is unfortunately pretty urgent too :(

 

Thank you.

Ha! i'm an idiot.

 

I "fixed" the problem. I had wiped all my previous test purchases so the box wasn't showing up.

 

The previous problem as well is fixed because i was not aware that the best sellers box is dependent to what category you are in.

 

So... problem fixed. sorry to cause unneeded clutter in the thread.

I have still not been able to use product_info.php.html which I am starting to need to use.

 

Anybody have a list of step by step on what to change , delete & modify from the using the standard sts_template.html ? I read through the post and info seem to be all over the place on this subject while nothing seem to work for me.

 

I have all the contrib fixes installed a seem to be working properly below.

I'm putting together a site for my wifes jewelry business and I need some help getting the right and left colums fixed. Her site is Christina J's Jewelry.

 

1. On the left column, how do I make all of the info boxes the same width?

 

2. On the right column, why am I getting info boxes showing up multiple times and why are they inside of the "Tell A Friend" box?

 

Thanx, Dave.

I dont think anybody reads this thread. :(

 

I am afraid you are right. I would love to help,

but I am only a beginner myself. Where are

the helpful experts? Maybe we are just too

many people trying to learn and too few

that already know and are tired of answering

questions. I suggest you try to write pm`s to

the people who wrote the contributions, it

helped me once already,

I am trying to remove the STS template from wpcallback.php (WorldPay) but my template still shows after adding the code below in sts_display_output.php and wpcallback.php. I've tried several solutions I've found here on the forum but none of them works.. just an empty template and no order showing up in admin. Isn't that strange? How do I turn off template for a specific file?

 

 

In sts_display_output.php

 

if(isset($notemplate) && $notemplate == "YES") {

$display_template_output = 0;

$display_normal_output = 1;

}

 

 

In wpcallback.php

 

$notemplate = "YES";

Thanks, your suggestion helped my sort the problem on the home page, however when in the catagories, HEADING_TITLE appears again, looking at the code it looks like I cannot find the language definitions and is therefore just displaying the tag text. However I'm not a good enough programmer to figure out a way around it.

 

 

Hi,

 

again, sorry to push this but my boss is getting impatient! :'(

Hi,

 

Has anybody tried installing the 'Switch between Including and Excluding VAT' contribution http://www.oscommerce.com/community/contributions,2899/?

 

I have tried installing it but the button that should appear to allow the switch does not appear.

 

I thought this may be an STS problem.

 

Has anybody tried ths?

 

Regards

 

Peter

I have a large site, that uses three php pages, that are included using a php include on every page. Is there anyway to include these in the STS template system?

 

<?php include 'url-to-file';

?>

try this if your on an apache webserver that allows you to parse php in html pages.

 

in the root directory of the site make a file called .htaccess and then put these 2 lines of code inside the file. And put it inside the root directory of the site on the webserver.

 

RemoveHandler .html .htm
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php .htm .html

 

let me know if that works for you. :thumbsup:

Thanks Keven, what would I use as the code of the actual include?

think in terms of though the sts_template is in the root directory of the site.

 

Does it produce an error log for you? usualy when you do a php call it will put an error log in the directory where the file is called from.. open that and see what it says. :)

I do not see any errors in the error log. I viewed the source of the page that is output. And the include ends up unchanged, in the actual source.

 

<?php include ('/header.php'); ?>

 

Should sts_template.html be changed to a php page?
