Add new page under "Information"

[kelly34]

Hi,

I would like to add a size chart under the "Information" section. Can anyone help me with this. I tried placing it in like you would with the base install of OSC but it had errors coming up.

Regards

This is the error I get:

Warning: main(includes/header.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /var/www/html/size_charts.php on line 29

Fatal error: main(): Failed opening required 'includes/header.php' (include_path='.:/php/includes:/usr/share/php') in /var/www/html/size_charts.php on line 29

Nope. Can't do it like regular osc. You should read the docs before attempting this. It makes things much easier.

Unfortunately the docs do not clearly state each step and seem to be missing something. Could someone please assist me in adding a new page to my information box.

Thankyou

I now have Size Charts coming up under the information box. When I click on it it goes to size_chart.php however the content on the page is linking to PRIVACY. I think it has somthing to do with this part

$content_template = TEMPLATENAME_PRIVACY;

under the main size_chart.php I created. If I change the "PRIVACY" to "SIZE_CHART" it brings up errors instead of the Size Chart content. The error I get is

Fatal error: main(): Failed opening required '' (include_path='.:/php/includes:/usr/share/php') in /var/www/html/templates/aabox/main_page.tpl.php on line 116

If anyone can help it would be greatly appreciated.

If you change PRIVACY to SIZE_CHART, you have to tell BTS what the value of TEMPLATENAME_SIZE_CHART is. Define this constant in includes/filenames.php Your new constant has no value until you define it.

Doing a search across files in osCMax for TEMPLATENAME_PRIVACY would have told you exactly where to put your new constant. Ultra-Edit is a great text editor that allows searching across files. I suggest you get a tool for doing this (like Ultra Edit) and whenver you need to find something, just do a quick search for it across all the osCMax files. It takes seconds to do and you will learn a lot about where things go and how it is put together.

Thanks for your help but I have already defined all the lines that need to be defined in includes/filenames.php

This is what I have: (I made a copy of the privacy parts and changed them)

define('CONTENT_SIZE_CHART', 'size_chart');
define('CONTENT_SIZE_CHART_CONTENT', 'size_chart');

define('FILENAME_SIZE_CHART', CONTENT_SIZE_CHART . '.php');
define('FILENAME_SIZE_CHART_CONTENT', CONTENT_SIZE_CHART_CONTENT . '.php');

[kelly34]

sorry I forgot to mention after defining them I am still getting the same error message

You missed a step somewhere. Retrace your steps:

1. Create the new file in the catalog dir - size_chart.php
2. Create new file in /[templatename]/content dir - size_chart.tpl.php
3. Add contstants that define the new filename and content:

define('CONTENT_SIZE_CHART', 'size_chart');
define('FILENAME_SIZE_CHART', 'size_chart.php');

4. Change the contents of size_chart.php to match your new contstants as per the instructions in the guide here :

http://oscdox.com/phpWiki-index-page...mentation.html

<?php
/*
  $Id: privacy.php,v 1.3.2.1 2005/06/12 00:03:43 Michael Sasek Exp $

  require('includes/application_top.php');

  require(DIR_WS_LANGUAGES . $language . '/' . FILENAME_SIZE_CHART);

  $breadcrumb->add(NAVBAR_TITLE, tep_href_link(FILENAME_SIZE_CHART));

  $content = CONTENT_SIZE_CHART;
  $content_template = TEMPLATENAME_STATIC;

  include (bts_select('main', $content_template)); // BTSv1.5

  require(DIR_WS_INCLUDES . 'application_bottom.php');
?>

5. Add a language file for your new page. Copy /includes/languages/english/privacy.php to /includes/languages/english/size_chart.php and edit the contents to look like this:

<?php
/*
  $Id: privacy.php,v 1.1.1.1.2.1 2005/06/12 00:04:34 Michael Sasek Exp $

*/

define('NAVBAR_TITLE', 'Size Chart');
define('HEADING_TITLE', 'Size Chart');

define('TEXT_INFORMATION', 'Put here your Size chart info here.');
?>

6. Add a link to the information box by editing /includes/boxes/information.php. Copy the second to the last link defined and paste it in directly below the original. Change the constants to your filename constant and change the box constant text to whatever your text is. Alternately, you can add a box text constant to english.php and call the constant instead of adding custom text.


Ok, so now I have done all the work for you. Please send payment to...

Thankyou for your help. It works now. I copied the piece of the code for the main size_chart.php you had and replaced mine with it. 10 hours later and it finally works!

Thanks
