Hey guys,

I was thinking about installing the coolmenu contribution for oscommerce. The install instructions say you have to modyify the left_column.php among other files but it says you have to find the line include(DIR_WS_BOXES . 'categories.php'); and replace it to include(DIR_WS_BOXES . 'coolmenu.php'); Now it could just be me but I can't find that line in the left_column.php file. Can someone point me in the right direction so I can go about installing this mod?

Thanks,
~Craig

You can just put the code you need on the left_column.php file and then when you see the duplicate menu, you can better locate the file that needs to be commented out.

If you have time, post your code for your left_column.php file contents here, and I can fix it for you.

Ok I went ahead and tried installing the coolmenu to my site. I couldn't find the line include(DIR_WS_BOXES . 'categories.php'); in my left_column.php file. But I added the line
include(DIR_WS_BOXES . 'coolmenu.php'); to it anyways. Here is my left_column.php file because I don't know if it is correct.

$column_query = tep_db_query('select display_in_column as cfgcol, infobox_file_name as cfgtitle, infobox_display as cfgvalue, infobox_define as cfgkey, box_heading, box_template, box_heading_font_color from ' . TABLE_INFOBOX_CONFIGURATION . ' where template_id = ' . TEMPLATE_ID . ' and infobox_display = "yes" and display_in_column = "left" order by location');
while ($column = tep_db_fetch_array($column_query)) {

if ( file_exists(DIR_WS_TEMPLATES . TEMPLATE_NAME . '/boxes/' . $column['cfgtitle'])) {
define($column['cfgkey'],$column['box_heading']);
$infobox_define = $column['box_heading'];
$infobox_template = $column['box_template'];
$font_color = $column['box_heading_font_color'];
$infobox_class = $column['box_template'];
require(DIR_WS_TEMPLATES . TEMPLATE_NAME . '/boxes/' . $column['cfgtitle']);
include(DIR_WS_BOXES . 'coolmenu.php');
}
}
?>

The installation instructions all said to add the following lines to all your files in the root I belive of your catalog.


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


Right after <body>. The problem was, I couldn't find the <body> command in the following files so I didn't edit them.

info_shopping.php
checkout_process.php
fantversion.php
download.php
popup_image.php
redirect.php

I also didn't get to add the line <SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript1.2" SRC="includes/menu_animation.js"></SCRIPT> to those files.

I added the code needed in the stylesheet also.

When I started checked out my site after I finished everything, it seemed like it was kind of working except that my whole left colomn had disappeard and it gave me some kind of error which said:

1146 - Table 'wholesa_osc1.TABLE_INFOBOX_CONFIGURATION' doesn't exist

select display_in_column as cfgcol, infobox_file_name as cfgtitle, infobox_display as cfgvalue, infobox_define as cfgkey, box_heading, box_template, box_heading_font_color from TABLE_INFOBOX_CONFIGURATION where template_id = TEMPLATE_ID and infobox_display = "yes" and display_in_column = "left" order by location

[TEP STOP]

I'd like to get my left column back if you guys can help me figure out what I need to add or take out.

Thanks ALot,
~Craig

Ok,

I got this bad boy mostly working, the only problem I have now is that my category box is on the right side and my coolmenu is in the upper left corner. Im going to search around to find out how to position the menu. But if anyone knows how to fix this, feel free to post it for me.

Thanks Alot,
~Craig

Craig · #6 09-18-2004, 08:01 PM

ok I fixed the position problem but my friend says that when you look at the webpage in different resolutions the menu is in different places. You guys know how to get it to adjust depending on the resolution?
