  1. Hi, I'm looking at showing 8 Latest Products (known as Featured Products on my site) on the homepage but I want to have many more checked in admin as a featured product, then allow the database to pick these out and display random, so for instance if the user was to refresh the page another random set would appear (I do understand that the new set may also still on occasions pick the same ones, depending on the amount of products set to be featured!) There is a forum article back from 2006: '?do=embed' frameborder='0' data-embedContent>> which I think now the templates have changed is outdated. Thanks Geoff
  2. Hi Brian, The website that has been created is a mile away from the skins of the cubecart ones supplied. As the homepage has a bespoke design I have stripped the skin, moved sections around ect. To start with, on the homepage we are not using the left hand column (sidebar as it's referred to) and this is only being used at one stage of the users journey, that is when they look at a category, for instance Women's Fragrances. If you look at the demo store under the header you have a left column which to start with has Shop By Category. We are only wanting to show this column on category page where we then list sub categories. As said before this can look a little bare so the clients wants a way to add content, be it images, testimonials ect under the sub cats content. Yes it's only a narrow space but a usable one too. Hope this makes sense. If you need to see the site to visualise it let me know.
  3. Hi Brian, Right, I've done that and the site is no longer breaking so that's good. The ID was 10 so included that and called it again in the content.category.php template and nothing. Pulling in the content from that document does work though as I slipped the same call {$GOOD_INFO} into the main.php and it did display, so like you said its getting it to display in the category template! Geoff
  4. Hi Brian, I have had a good go at this and have broken the site when complete, here is what I have done so far: Created the CSS Created a file called box.good_info.php and used your code supplied My template has been altered somewhat so the sidebar in question is within a content.category.php template, there I have added {$GOOD_INFO} Added $this->_displayGoodInfo(); to the gui.class.php template Added: if (($doc_content = $GLOBALS['cubecart']->getDocument(99)) !== false) { $GLOBALS['smarty']->assign('good_info', array( 'title' => $doc_content['doc_name'], 'contents' => $doc_content['doc_content'], )); $content = $GLOBALS['smarty']->fetch('templates/box.good_info.php'); $GLOBALS['smarty']->assign('GOOD_INFO', $content); } further down. Although I was a little unsure of where this was to actually go i think I found the place BUT this being in the wrong place may be the issue, its after line 754 after the display document content function and the display language function! I have created a Document in the admin called 'good info' too and cleared the site cache. Any further help appreciated. Thanks Geoff
  5. Hi Brian, First ever project with CubeCart so never created a sidebox yet no. Thanks Geoff
  6. Hi, My client feels her left sidebar is a little bare and wants to be able to include quotes, images or just general text when the user is in a category template page. Is there a way of creating a document (say called Sidebar) and having the contents of that document show in my sidebar column on a category template? Thanks Geoff
  7. Hi Brian, I had version 5.2.7 running so have just updated to 5.2.8 Can't help but panic when I update these things in-case something breaks that worked previously! With regard to this that you said: keep in mind that this then becomes fixed and prevents showing any additional shipping methods Will this stop me having the FREE DELIVERY on orders over £100.00? Geoff
  8. Hi, I have 2 shipping methods, 1 Flat rate method, and 1 for orders over £100.00. At the moment the shipping method select box is being a little annoying as a buyer. What I would really like is for the select box to be gone and to have something that says 'All orders under £100.00 standard delivery charge' then as currently it is the £3.99 charge is shown. At the moment you have to choose this method even though its the only one and even after its chosen it isnt remembered so you have to do it again after getting a warning message and click Update too, such a pain. Asside from this I would like to also display 'FREE DELIVERY' with the charge of £0.00 being shown for orders over £100, at the moment I'm getting the included images as the view of this selection box and it looks messy and unprofessional. Please help.
  9. Hi, Just wondering how I can get the email text subject to say what I want, at the moment when I get an email telling me an order has been placed it says (unknown sender) as the subject. Thanks Geoff
  10. sorry yes the URL's do return as .html prefix. Is there a remote chance you'd be willing to have a look if I create you access? Apologies for asking I'm just at my whits end with this project.
  11. Yes there is only one record type of 'contact', as I said though, now the site wont find any documents or categories or products, the URL's are right, such as if I click terms and conditions the url is /terms-and-conditions which previously would show the document and content, now it just returns the homepage! It all very messed up. I think I did not only clear the cache, but also clear the SQL cache and also rebuild the sitemap...all in desperation though.
  12. ahhaaahhh you of course Sir are right. Sometimes I can be so silly. So after scrolling through I do fine the Cubecart_seo_path and locate the the one with a type of contact and the url is showing as contact-us-c Should I edit this to be: contact-us ? Even if I do this, no matter what I click now it just stays on the homepage, the url's change but the homepage is only ever displayed. Geoff
  13. Hi Brian, OK looking at the DB there is not table for Cubecart_seo_path, after the geo_zone table there is nothing else going further down the alphabet.
  14. Hi Brian, Gave this a try and still cannot get the contact-us document to show, now all the links to my actual documents (pages) are not working, they just go to homepage, even after I enable SEO friendly URL's again
  15. Certainly did! I would hope I'd never be that stupid
  16. Hi, I have taken one of the default skins, duplicated it and renamed then modified the design/layout it extensively. I'm a first time user of CC so naturally created a document and called it contact-us so I could at a later date enter details and add a form, not realising that there is an actual template to provide this and the url of the demo store's contact us page is the same as the document i created. So I deleted the contact-us document but can seem to get the actual contact template to work, now when I go to /contact-us.html it just returns to the homepage. All the template files are still in place and essentially the code to display various elements of the site is still within just moved around, maybe with new HTML around it for styling purposes. Any ideas? Geoff

    SSL

    Hi, looking at your knowledge base SSL page it makes reference to a site by where the URL is (for example) mydomain.com/store and that an SSL certificate should be set up to secure the /store directory. My website/store resides on mydomain.com and I want to have the checkout and payment processor under the SSL (so site changes to: https://mydomain.com) Not sure where to start with this, any help appreciated. Thanks
  18. This prompted me to look and check my client had added any weight's to each product and each one was not set, I have set one at 1.100 and was able to get through to the next screen, now for the next problem that the next screen where I fill in my card details and hit Purchase then I get taken to a blank screen with nothing on it or anything in the HTML code. This is a test purchase account set up by my payment processor IridiumCorp Thanks Dirty.
  19. Hi Dirty Just given that a try and no difference :(

  21. Hi, I did try to send a support ticket but when I was logged in and clicked in Get Support which the text info tell us to do the link would not take me anywhere, just returned me to the same page Regarding the GB instead of UK, I have swapped the shipping zone name to GB but the Country/Countries selection only has United Kingdom anyway, did a test after I disabled the Per Item shipping and got the warning message again.
  22. Hi, I keep getting problems with the AIO module in that I'm receiving a warning stating: 'Unfortunately there are no suitable shipping methods available for your order. This may be because the total weight of your order is too high or we cannot ship to your country.' I have set this all up and included the UK as a shipping zone, I have tried all sorts and have now just added shipping method 'Per Item' and have successfully got through to the next stage but unless other shipping modules may be suitable for us we need to use All In One. We sell fragrances so will be setting prices based on 3 weights and sending via Royal Mail which we will for now be hand delivering to the Post Office for delivery, any suggestions or help appreciated. Thanks Geoff
  23. OK I hope Dirty Butter can help, I have just set up the Per Item shipping method and have managed to get through to the next process by where I choose Payment Method. Just need to get the All In One sorted unless you can advise on using a similar shipping module. Geoff
