Fatal error

[uff]

When i try to install oscommers i get this message:

New Installation

Please customize the new installation with the following options:

Import Catalog Database:
Fatal error: Call to undefined function: osc_draw_checkbox_field() in /free1go/d/h/www.dharmaimport.1go.dk/catalog/install/templates/pages/install.php on line 24

can you help me?

[red_fraggle]

line 24 looks like so:

<?php echo osc_draw_checkbox_field('install[]', 'database', true); ?>

Now being that there are no function calls present in the templates/pages directory we must start looking at the source code which calls these pages, or /install/index.php since thats the page we load when we go to http://yourdomain.com/install

The index.php page has 2 seperate require statements:
1. require('includes/application.php');
2. require('templates/main_page.php');

If we open /templates/main_page.php and look at the source code we see that the only other pages this page calls are the header and the footer.php's which after a quick look, contain no function calls or require statements to speak of.

So we are forced to look at
1. require('includes/application.php');

And if we open this page and look at the source code we notice that there is only a few require statements here, and they are as follows:

require('includes/functions/general.php');
require('includes/functions/database.php');
require('includes/functions/html_output.php');


We see that all functions used in the installation of max are called right from this file, /install/includes/application.php and if we do a quick grep or text search on the original source files we find this on line 45 of html_output.php

function osc_draw_checkbox_field($name, $value = '', $checked = false) {
    return osc_draw_selection_field($name, 'checkbox', $value, $checked);
  }

This leaves us with but one conclusion, your /install/includes/html_output.php file is corrupt or missing from the directory and the function needed to make that check box on install.php work is never being defined.

Thanx red_fraggle. You have right!

/install/includes/html_output.php file is missing from the directory (should it realy be there in the first place?). I have downloaded two vesions from oscommerce.com (2.2 and 2.2 without global reg) and I can't find this file on any of the downloaded directories...

im confused... and a newbie...

[red_fraggle]

I just downloaded it from oscommerce.com to make sure i wasnt crazy. This problem might be from you unzipping the file and not using "preserve directory structure". make sure when you extract the files, you have a catalog/ directory with 6 different sup-directories in it, they are as follows

admin
download
images
includes
install
pub

I've the same problem. There IS (and is correct) html_output.php in my /catalog/install/includes/functions , but there is "
Fatal error: Call to undefined function: osc_draw_checkbox_field() in /home/httpd/shop/catalog/install/templates/pages/install.php on line 24" too.
Any ideas?
