♥kymation Posted October 6, 2003 Share Posted October 6, 2003 This contribution was designed to allow easy editing of the large blocks of text on the Index page, Conditions, and Privacy pages. These text blocks have been separated out into HTML files that can be edited with any HTML editor. This should be useful to those who don't understand php code, those who want to put fancy HTML into those pages, and those of us who are designing for clients and don't want said clients messing up the code. As a bonus I've included a couple of files that make it easy to have text in a box on the front page, or just about anywhere for that matter. These text boxes also use separate HTML files to hold the content. I've tried to make this Contribution as simple as possible so that even the newest osCommerce user can use it. If you have any problems please post here and I'll help. This version supports: osCommerce 2.2 MS2 (and probably any earlier version as well). The original thread that spawned this contribution is here, for those who are interested in archaeology. Thanks again to all the great people on the forums, and special thanks to the osCommerce development team. Regards Jim Quote See my profile for a list of my addons and ways to get support.

Coon Posted October 18, 2003 Share Posted October 18, 2003 Great contribution! Is there are way I could use this for header.php. I want my header.php to reffer to header.htm so that I can add my images easier. Please help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
♥kymation Posted October 18, 2003 Author Share Posted October 18, 2003 The problem with converting the header to HTML is that most of it is automated. The breadcrumb trail changes depending on where you are on the site. The My Account / Cart Contents etc. links and images change depending on whether you are logged in or not. The only stable part of the header is the logo, and there's already a contribution for changing that. This contribution was designed to be a simple way of dealing with a large area of static HTML. This only applies to a very few pages since the bulk of osCommerce is automated and database-driven. A full template system does a much better job of separating the HTML from the code, but requires more effort to install. There are a couple of template systems available in the contributions for those who need this increased functionality. I suggest that you try one of those.

michael23 Posted March 14, 2004 Share Posted March 14, 2004 Hi, I am think about adding this to the categories. We have category description installed and would like to get popup windows as well. Will I be able to add them with your contrib? Greetings and thx in advance, Michael Quote Not because it is difficult we don't dare to do it, but because we don't dare to do it, it is difficult.

♥kymation Posted March 14, 2004 Author Share Posted March 14, 2004 I don't think that this contribution would be of any help to you. The categories box is all code-generated. There's not much you can do there with static HTML. You might be able to use the new categoryTree class from the CVS. Harald showed some example code in this thread. It appears to me to be a signifigant improvement. Regards Jim Quote See my profile for a list of my addons and ways to get support. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
helohelo Posted March 26, 2004 Share Posted March 26, 2004 Hi Jim, thanks for this very usefull contribution. I use osc for 3 month now and setup all kinds of design mods liks sts and sendorder html email etc. see http://www.oscommerce.com/community/contri...all/search,html For this last one its very difficult to design the look of the send email. Also all email send by osc is difficult to design. Your contribution is very usefull for this but Iam not sure. Can I use it herefore? if so how?

♥kymation Posted March 27, 2004 Author Share Posted March 27, 2004 This contribution was designed to insert HTML files into the osCommerce site pages. The requirements for HTML email are a bit different, so this contribution won't really work for that purpose. I'm not familiar enough with HTML formatting in email to advise you on that subject.

Guest Posted March 27, 2004 Share Posted March 27, 2004 hi i have a sid problem on my link after i attached image to one of the HTML file. The funny thing is when you first open your browser, then when you point to any link, the sid is there. But once one click something, then the sid dissapear. Can anybody help, is this fine? I read from the readme.txt file that sid is a security problem. Thank you, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted March 27, 2004 Share Posted March 27, 2004 Sorry, even if i don't attached any image to one of those html files (conditions, privacy, shipping, etc). Still when i first open the web browser any links will contain sids. After i click any link then the sid will be gone. Help, is this normal? Thank you for the help.

pixelsoul Posted April 7, 2004 Share Posted April 7, 2004 Fatal error: Cannot redeclare tep_db_connect() (previously declared in /home/www/gadgetwarehouse/shop/includes/functions/database.php:13) in /home/www/gadgetwarehouse/shop/includes/functions/database.php on line 13 Does anybody know why these errors show up.. :o Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
♥kymation Posted April 8, 2004 Author Share Posted April 8, 2004 The Database functions are being called twice. The most likely cause would be copying the code file to the location for the language file. That is, you copied index.php to includes/languages/english/index.php. If this is showing up on a different page, substitute that filename for the index.php. Other ways of causing this are including database.php in another file, or including application_top.php more than once. Look at any locations where you have made modifications for these errors.

pixelsoul Posted April 8, 2004 Share Posted April 8, 2004 Ah i see i think the sts template contribution is the cause of that thanks ill see if i can fix this :ph34r: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 30, 2005 Share Posted August 30, 2005 (edited) Can a mod of your contribution do this? eg ### database #prod-name #prod-desc #prod-url #test1 #description of test1 #catalog/prod-url/test1.html ### product info page test1 description of test1 <? include("catalog/prod-url/test1.html") ?> A search of the forum suggests your contrib is the way to go but... I don't know how :blush: . Which file do I edit - is it product_info.php? What do I need to put in prod-desc field? Do I need to alter table? Thanks.

♥kymation Posted August 31, 2005 Author Share Posted August 31, 2005 It could be modified to do what you describe, at least if I understand you correctly. This contribution was originally designed to make it easy to create and update static pages and parts of pages. Perhaps if you can give me more information on what you are trying to do I could give you more help. Regards Jim Quote See my profile for a list of my addons and ways to get support.

Guest Posted August 31, 2005 Share Posted August 31, 2005 Hi Jim Thanks for the reply This is essentially what I want to do: For the dynamic product info page - delete code for "click here for more info" (can do that no worries) - add <?php include("http:// ****$product_info['products_url']*** "); ?> i.e. <?php include("http://www.acme.com.au/prod-info-pages/infopage1.html"); ?> So I want the dynamic product pages to include the contents of a static page which is referred to by the product_url field of the catalog database. The following addition include addition works (therefore it's not a problem with the include function): <tr> <td> <?php include("http://www.acme.com.au/prod-info-pages/infopage1.html"); ?> </td> </tr> But the following wont <tr> <td> <?php include('"http://' . $product_info['products_url'] . '"'); ?> </td> </tr> Despite the fact that <?php echo '"http://' . $product_info['products_url'] . '"'; ?> results in "http://www.acme.com.au/prod-info-pages/infopage1.html" which is what I want inside the include tags! I've done a search for this in the forums and it would appear it's a common request which inevitably leads to your contribution, but again I don't know how... I think this would be a welcome mod because if the site has a local copy of the product pages the product info pages will be fuller and does not require a prospective client to goto an external site and thus decreasing the likelihood of a sale. Thanks Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
♥kymation Posted August 31, 2005 Author Share Posted August 31, 2005 Your code is trying to include a URL when it should be trying to include a file. Try <tr> <td> <?php include($product_info['products_url']); ?> </td> </tr> and make the products_url contain something like /usr/www/mysite/path/to/file/filename.html. That assumes that the file contains a proper HTML fragment. It you're trying to include an entire web page then we'll need to adapt the parsing code from the contribution. If you're trying to load a page from an external site, then the problem becomes much more difficult. Regards Jim Quote See my profile for a list of my addons and ways to get support.

Guest Posted August 31, 2005 Share Posted August 31, 2005 Hi Jim, That works perfectly! Nagging question though: If the following has been verified to work for a particular product(domain and prod name fictional): <?php include("http://www.acme.com.au/prod-info-pages/infopage1.html"); ?> Why doesn't the following code work? <?php include('"http://' . $product_info['products_url'] . '"'); ?> They should equate to the same html code, at least for that one particular product. Regardless, it works fine, and I'm going to put it up under another thread with all credit going to you. :thumbsup: Again thank-you. Now I just need to do a sed substitution command on my easypopulate file! Regards, Christopher Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted October 10, 2006 Share Posted October 10, 2006 I am trying to install this module and the readme file says to modify the index.php at a line where it reads <tr> <td class="main"><?php echo TEXT_MAIN; ?></td> </tr> In my file, it never says this. Also, in the conditions.php file it says to find line with this: <tr> <td class="main"><?php echo TEXT_INFORMATION; ?></td> </tr> I don't find it there either. All my file says is: <?php /* $Id: conditions.php,v 1.4 2002/11/19 01:48:08 dgw_ Exp $ osCommerce, Open Source E-Commerce Solutions http://www.oscommerce.com Copyright © 2002 osCommerce Released under the GNU General Public License */ define('NAVBAR_TITLE', 'Conditions of Use'); define('HEADING_TITLE', 'Conditions of Use'); define('TEXT_INFORMATION', 'Put here your Conditions of Use information.'); ?> So I think this 2003 version does not work with the latest os commerce version. Is there something newer to allow html on the special information pages? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You want the catalog/index.php file, not catalog/includes/languages/english/index.php (and similarly for the catalog/conditions.php file) Also, if you have added other contributions, or if you are using a "loaded" or non-standard version of osCommerce, the lines you are looking for may be missing or different. The changes should work just fine with an unmodified copy of the latest version of osCommerce. Regards Jim Quote See my profile for a list of my addons and ways to get support.

DiederickII Posted July 4, 2007 Share Posted July 4, 2007 Hello Jim, I installed the contribution and it works fine but now I am trying to fill in the text via a cms. I setup a database in my voorwaarden.php (dutch for conditions) I changed: <td class="main"><?php echo TEXT_INFORMATION; ?></td> into: <td class="main"><?php // Lines added for Include HTML and Text Box Contribution V. 1.6 $html_file = DIR_WS_LANGUAGES . $language . '/html/' . basename($PHP_SELF,".php") . '.txt.php'; $html = implode("", file($html_file)); echo ereg_replace("(<!doctype([^>]+)>)|(<[/]?html>)|(<head>(.*)?</head>)|(<[/]?body([^>]+)?>)", '', $html); ?></td> and I changed the voorwaarden.html in voorwaarden.txt.php and I checked if that would work and it did with the standard text. I then changed the code for voorwaarden.txt.php in this: <?php //CMPS //KCST 2007 //error codes ini_set('displayerrors', 1); error_reporting(E_ALL); //Verbinding met database maken include("connect.inc.php"); //Pagina ophalen $page_SQL="SELECT * FROM webpages WHERE page_id=4"; $page_result=mysql_query($page_SQL); $page=mysql_fetch_array($page_result); mysql_close(); ?> <!doctype html public "-//w3c//dtd html 3.2//en"> <html> <head> <title> (This file goes in /catalog/includes/languages/english/html/) </title> </head> <body bgcolor="#ffffff" text="#000000" link="#0000ff" vlink="#800080" alink="#ff0000"> <?php //Hier worden de berichten weergegeven { ?> <?php echo $page['inhoud'] ?> <?php } ?> </body> </html> If I Click on Voorwaarden in the Information box I have no text on the page and if I check the voorwaarden.txt.php page I see the text that is in the database. So it reads the text from the database but it is not displayed in the page of the website. Can you help me with this? Thanks.
