Let\'s See What We Have Here instead of Category Name

[yulises]

Hello
we just purchased a template of oscmax (Looks like it an oscommerce template)
It workd fine , but it is showing "Lets see what we have here" instead of the category name , ( like it is in oscommerce)
we got oscmax 2.0 rc3 version
Does anyone knows where can I change it , so the categories heading will be the category name.

Thank you

First, do you have the Display category names feature enabled in the admin?

Next, you would edit this in the index_products.tpl.php file and make sure the following code is present where the category description is supposed to be displayed:

PHP Code:

<?php
/* bof catdesc for bts1a, replacing "echo HEADING_TITLE;" by "categories_heading_title" */
             if ( (ALLOW_CATEGORY_DESCRIPTIONS == 'true') && (tep_not_null($category['categories_heading_title'])) ) {
                 echo $category['categories_heading_title'];
               } else {
                 echo HEADING_TITLE;
               }
/* eof catdesc for bts1a */ ?>

i must say that this mod that is in OSCmax is pretty useless it does it work for a depth of 2 cat's not more so if you have a top catagorie that name it takes over and sometimes a catagorie below that but not further.

Works fine for me beyond 2 deep categories.

I just tested on 5 deep and it works fine with no issues. Take a look at the screen shot.

tha file index_products.tpl.php was only in fallback template
It seems to be fine (like you said it should be "

<?php
/* bof catdesc for bts1a, replacing "echo HEADING_TITLE;" by "categories_heading_title" */
if ( (ALLOW_CATEGORY_DESCRIPTIONS == 'true') && (tep_not_null($category['categories_heading_title'])) ) {
echo $category['categories_heading_title'];
} else {
echo HEADING_TITLE;
}
/* eof catdesc for bts1a */ ?>

any way I noticed that the problem is in all templates aabox and fallback too.
any Idea?
Thanks

i do still have the same problem but when i worked with OSC i had a contri that did work ill search it up and post it here maybe that one does work for us.

/edit,

with some searching i got it working like it should but then again i have index_products.tpl.php in my templates folder, so i think you should copy it over to your template folder (just in case) and further i made the mistake that i had made cat's without the mod on so that's why it didn't work. So set the mod to true and check your cat's so select one and edit it then you should get a other page then normal and make sure that "Category Name:" and "Category Heading Title:" are filled in then it should work.

That is the only place it needs to be. All templates pull the content files from fallback if there is not one in its own content directory. If the code is there, then you simply have not entered in the info in the admin panel, or you have not turned on Category descriptions in the admin panel.

The problem is not with osCMax. If you don't have Category Heading Title filled in in the admin panel for that category, it will display the default 'Lets see...' text.

Is the template you purchased specifically for osCMax or osCommerce standard? If it is for osCommerce, it will not work with osCMax without converting it to use the BTS template format.

Thank you ,

My mistake , I just notice that the categorie heading title in the admin was blank,
sorry for all the trouble i made...

Hi, I had this problem too...and I figured out the same thing. I always try to remember that by far the largest number of computer issues are USER ERROR (in other words, its my fault, not the PC) Computers can be so humbling.
