error on express_checkout.php for paypal

[daisylei12]

installed paypal express checkout, created API authority for my account, everything seems fine Except...

When user goes to paypal express checkout and and "continue checkout procedure to confirm this order" receive this message:

Warning: main(includes/header.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /hsphere/local/home/earthcor/efta.us/store/express_checkout.php on line 130

Warning: main(includes/header.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /hsphere/local/home/earthcor/efta.us/store/express_checkout.php on line 130

Fatal error: main(): Failed opening required 'includes/header.php' (include_path='.:/usr/local/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php/PEAR:/usr/local/share/pear') in /hsphere/local/home/earthcor/efta.us/store/express_checkout.php on line 130

So I looked in the express_checkout.php file at 130 and found this

<?php require(DIR_WS_INCLUDES . 'header.php'); ?>

clearly this is meant to work with oscommerce and oscmax uses the BTS template system, i hunted around the files in oscmax looking for how to change this directive for the correct call for template and could not find it

Need to replace these directives with the correct call for template, please help, for now i have removed that directive entirely and it works but EWWW it's ugly.

I chose oscmax for the professional look of the cart and having even a single page load the data without the template destroys that professionalism

please help!

well i got to work, by pretty much re-writing the code

that wiki post osCommerce Documentation by OSCdox :: osCommerce and osCMax installation and users manual, discussion forums (phpWiki)

that doesn't explain nearly everything by any shot

but what i did was copy the template i modified header and footer sections into header.php and footer.php call the new template pages i made and removed things that called for side bar navigation box systems

maybe ugly, but i documented what i did so if i have to change things in the future i can

i tried six ways from sunday to fix it using the wiki documentation and couldn't make it work, it was just one error after another

is there some updated info available that i missed?

anyone who does have more info about putting in oscommerce mods i would appreciate the info for future reference

thanks

Here is a good thread:
BTS Instruction Manual

It gives a clear explanation of the basics and should get you going in the right direction.
