myideal Posted February 17, 2006 Share Posted February 17, 2006 Hiya, This is probably dead simple, but ill ask as i havent got a clue. I want to add in a new side info box which will show my Skype status. Now of course the STS wont have a code for the template to call this box - so what file(s) do i need to change to make this work?

gdcondor Posted February 20, 2006 Share Posted February 20, 2006 Really nice contrib ! I don't know if someone pointed it but you should change this in sts_user_code.php : ------------ if ( (sizeof($category_tree_array) < 1) && ($exclude != '0') ) $category_tree_array[] = array('id' => '0', 'text' => "Catalog"); ----------- to ->> ----------- if ( (sizeof($category_tree_array) < 1) && ($exclude != '0') ) $category_tree_array[] = array('id' => '0', 'text' => HEADER_TITLE_CATALOG); ------------- otherwise it will always print "Catalog" in the drop-down box ($catmenu) without taking care of the language -- GdCondor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

swtnhpy Posted February 28, 2006 Share Posted February 28, 2006 I have read through this whole support file and can't seem to find the answer to my problem. I have STS set up and everything right where I want it. I'm also using Linda's header tags, Easy populate, AP, On the fly, and PWA. I wanted to change the look of the product info pages and for some reason, it is not showing up. I have changed it just like I did with the sts_template.html file and that is working just fine. Its the product_info.php.html file that is not working. Do I have to change the name of it or something for it to pull the info from that page?

rkr31 Posted February 28, 2006 Share Posted February 28, 2006 I have a little problem.STS works fine, however. On the productinfo page, i get an javascript error and when i try to click the "Enlarge Picture" nothing happens. What can be wrong? Thanks for any help :thumbsup: I have the same problem.

stardust Posted February 28, 2006 Share Posted February 28, 2006 I?m using the sts_template system and made some links on my page some using images and others as text.But i found a problem that i dont know what to do.For example, the "home" link.I dont want to use those $breadcumbs i only want a link "home".If a user makes login, ALL the other links (infoboxes) changes to something like this: link.php?osCsid=e85739eeb741b7225ed053fb54740742.I know that those numbers are some sort of identification of the user. Then i creat the link "home" in the sts_template, and put it like this: "<a href="index.php">Home</a>".If a logged user click on this link, he will logoff, because it doesnt generate those letters and numbers of identification. I wanted to know what should i do to generate that code.Thanks PS: Forgive my english :blush: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact if you look at page 144, just one page before this page, you will see a few things u need to check to get this working, namely: Are you are missing the $headcontent variable inside the <head> tags , add the following line to sts_template.html and any other sts template files you have created just inside the <head> tags and before <script LANGUAGE="JavaScript" ....etc..<!--$headcontent--> Do you have popWindow function located in sts_osc_javascript.js , also make sure sts_osc_javascript.js does not have unnecessary lines:line 1: <script language="javascript"><!-- line 94: //--></script> If you have the js, then check to see it is opening the correct $productsid, make sure your product_info.php.html reflects correct path to your product. change:<a href="java script:popupWindow('http://sts.diamondsea.com/sts3/popup_image.php?pID=$productsid')"> to: <a href="java script:popupWindow('http://www.yourdomain.com/catalog/popup_image.php?pID=$productsid')"> let me know how it works after making these changes.

avail1now Posted March 3, 2006 Share Posted March 3, 2006 I am also trying this now that I can't get Header tags controller to work. To der.brain & swtnhpy , STS and Header Tag Controller coexist together fine. Not sure why you choose MTC over HTC, but HTC is far more popular than MTC and is currently ranked 4th amongst top downloads. It will take you a good two hours minimum to install it, but follow the install instructions verbatim and it works. here is HTC. Be sure to uninstall MTC first. Good luck.

Is the prob in my shop (something to do with that /tmp directory?I forced the use of cache too, to make it use the tmp folder, but nothing...) or in the Apache?Or maybe in the domain name?In the instalation of the shop, i left everthing as default, the url it use is http://localhost/shop (it doesn't uses those domain terminations like .com) . *I installed another shop (with the original version of OsCommerce 2.2 - not in my language) in the folder that Apache uses as the directory for sites, i called it "Test".I did the same thing, forced the use of cookies, and the same error happens.No matter if I?m using STS or BTS. **Both IE and Firefox are enabled to use cookies, they even have some stored in their cache. . ***I?m also using the same Apache2Triad to test and build a forum using phpbb2, with the forum, the cookies works, their name: localhost phpbb2mysql_sid localhost phpbb2mysql_data localhost lang ****The file name of the "original" version of Oscommerce that found the some prob of mine is oscommerce-2.2ms2-051113.zip.Anyone here uses the same version?If so, did you found the same prob?Is it some kind of bug?
