Modifying Page for BTS Compatibility

[prosam]

Hi All,
Not sure if this is the correct place to talk about this but here we go.

I downloaded a contribution from osC so I could have a page that listed the bestsellers and then proceeded to modify it so it would be compatible with BTS. I have done this before with osC affiliate before it was available with Max so I had a pretty good idea how to do it. Though I had a bit of a hard time doing it I got it to work but some things are still bugging me and I was hoping someone here could help me out.

In order to get it to work I had to call the template file "CONTENT_BESTSELLING_PRODUCTS.tpl.php" instead of "bestselling_products.tpl.php". Could someone check it out and let me know what I did wrong.

The other thing is that the info is being pulled from what is supposed to be a an infobox so I was hopinf someone could integrate the code right into the tpl file instead of it coming from the boxes folder.

Take a look at the attched zipped files and you will see what I mean.

Thanks guys.

You need to define CONTENT_BESTSELLING_PRODUCTS in includes/filenames.php

Whenever you add a contrib w/ BTS, you need to modify the instructions for the definitions that are required in filenames.php. When they tell you to add this:

define (FILENAME_WHATEVER, 'whatever.php');

you need to split this into two definitions like:

define (CONTENT_WHATEVER, 'whatever');
define(FILENAME_WHATEVER, CONTENT_WHATEVER . '.php');

This is why you had to rename your file. BTS uses the CONTENT_WHATEVER for it's template files (whatever.tpl.php).
