Alternate style sheet based on URL you are on.

got2web — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 20:34:52 GMT

I'm trying to get the styleguide.html page to test what page of the site the visitor is currently on and then feed a particular stylesheet to it. For instance, I would like to have the home page have a certain repeating background image within the container of the home page, then a different one on all the other pages.

This is what I've tried to put in the top of the styleguide.html page:

(angle bracket)?php
$pageURL .= (!empty($_SERVER['HTTPS'])) ? "http://".$_SERVER['SERVER_NAME'].$_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] : "http://".$_SERVER['SERVER_NAME'].$_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'];
$homeCSS = "http://www.domain.com/templates/templatename/styles/styles2.css";
$otherCSS = "http://www.domain.com/templates/templatename/styles/styles.css";
function homestylesheet(){
if ($pageURL == ('http://www.domain.com/index.php') {
return $homeCSS; } )
else {
return $otherCSS;
}
?(angle bracket)

Then in the stylesheet link, I add this:

(angle bracket)link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="(angle bracket)?php echo homestylesheet(); ?(angle bracket)" / (angle bracket)

I would think this would have done the trick, but I get some really ugly error messages having to do with my cache. Any ideas on a better way to do this? Thank you in advance.

BTW: I'm trying to do all this in version 5.1.6 if that makes any difference. Also...I tried to post this message using the code brackets in the editor to illustrate my code but it just shows empty white fields. Sorry for the way I've shown the above code.

Free Discount Module: Category Discount when order value over $x or product X in cart

johnnybegood — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 18:44:49 GMT

Ok, here is the third discount module I'm providing here free. Out of all the discount modules I've created I think this one has the most depth and flexiblity; from a marketing point of view. People don't generally like being told what they can and can't have and this discount module attempts to deal with this. Essentially this module allows customers to choose their discounted item when they have either a specific product (and quantity) in their cart or when their order value is above $x

This module replaces the existing category discount module, however it does not eliminate any of the functionality previously available on this module. This module grew quite large very quickly and currently incorporates 12 different messages which are displayed to the customer depending on the combination of variables. For example, if trigger item in cart && if trigger item has sufficient quantity && if item from discounted category is in cart && if order value > $x etc etc ... I went a bit nuts getting my head around all these variations!

Before implementing this mod I recommend you rename the /modules/rule/"percentoffitemsincat" folder to something like "percentoffitemsincat (old)".

Once you've done that simply extract the folder in the attached zip and upload to /modules/rule/

As per my previous two discount modules you will need to make the following changes for this module to work.

Open "includes/classes/class.cart.php" and find this section:

PHP Code:


		
			
foreach ($discountMessages as $message) {

                $GLOBALS['CartRuleMessage'] .= '' . GetLang('DiscountCongratulations') . ' ';

                $GLOBALS['CartRuleMessage'] .= $message;

                $GLOBALS['CartRuleMessage'] .= '
';

            }

Just below this section add this:

PHP Code:


		
			
$discountMessages = $this->api->Get('DISCOUNT_MESSAGES2');



            if (!is_array($discountMessages)) {

                $discountMessages = array();

            }



            foreach ($discountMessages as $message) {

                $GLOBALS['CartRuleMessage'] .= '';

                $GLOBALS['CartRuleMessage'] .= $message;

                $GLOBALS['CartRuleMessage'] .= '
';

            }

Next open "includes/classes/class.cart.api.php" and find this line:

PHP Code:


		
			
$this->cartSession['DISCOUNT_MESSAGES'] = null;

and just below this add:

PHP Code:


		
			
$this->cartSession['DISCOUNT_MESSAGES2'] = null;

Also, if you haven't done this already I highly recommend making the following change if you use the suggestive cart feature:

Open "templates/_master/suggestive_cart.html" and add this:

HTML Code:

%%Panel.CartRuleMessage%%

just after:

HTML Code:

%%Panel.CartFreeShipping%%

This basically allows discount messages to be displayed to customers when they view the suggestive cart page.

Thank you Email not sending when using the XML/PHP API

trioviagroup — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 18:33:16 GMT

Hello all,

I have 2 installs on different domains. 1 of the installs use the normal HTML form code to add leads to a list. The other install uses the XML/PHP API to add leads to a list.

The problem, is that the install using the API does not send out the "thank you" email.

I'm wondering if anyone else has experienced this issue?

I can pasted in my code if anyone would like to see (it's 177 lines).

What the code does is this:

1. Checks if the email is on any other lists - If it does it removes it then adds to the new list

2. Checks if the email is already on the list they are subscribing to. If they are on already, it deletes it and re-inserts with new custom field data. (it is done this way say the AutoResponder messages start all over again with new custom fields.. meaning they came from a new person's website)

3. Then of course... it will add if doesn't exist at all :)

Sending email hangs system

New to IEM. Just installed it. Loading email lists, campaigns, etc all OK.

Tried to send campaign to 1 email fore testing and the system just hangs. Looks like it is waiting for something. Tried in IE & FF in case it was a browser issue - but same.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Invoice and Packing slip customization

Closer — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 12:36:13 GMT

I read some topics about this, but not for my issue.

In the EU, we are obligated to print the customers VAT number on each invoice and packing slip.

The VAT numbers are entered when a customer registers and is stored in the DB

How can I add this to the invoice?

Express Checkout - Customer First/Last Name

cupargarden — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 10:33:58 GMT

Hi.

I have noticed when using the Express checkout, the customers first and last name are appended - ie. click checkout as a guest, or to create an account at checkout, enter first name (Joe) and second name (Bloggs), and complete the rest of the form, clicking 'Bill & Ship to this Address'.

The Step 2 and Step 3 summary (ie. when you are completing Step 4) shows as JoeBloggs, 1 My Street, Town, County, Country - this doesn't look too good. How can I split this up, so that is shows Joe Bloggs, 1 My Street....etc?

Thanks

Remain on Same Page after adding Item to Cart

erhan — Thu, 19 Nov 2009 19:03:13 GMT

Hi,
I'm trying to make it so that when someone clicks add to cart on an item the item gets added to their cart and they remain on the same page. Perhaps the page will refresh and on the right side column the product will appear as just added to cart.

At the moment everytime I add a product to cart I get these cart suggestions.
And if I turn off cart suggestions I get taken to the checkout screen.

I want people to be able to keep adding things to their carts without the screen changing everytime on them. Once they are done with picking through and click on proceed to check out then the cart should show suggestions with an option to skip suggestions and go right to checkout.

Does anyone have any idea on how this can be achieved. I did read a forum post with some instructions, but the last thread was saying the instructions didint work.

Highly appreciate it if anyone can shine some light on to my problem,
thank you in advance
Erhan

Interested in shopping cart but...

webmanfromphilly — Thu, 19 Nov 2009 17:06:27 GMT

is there a way to calculate order total and total for shipping seperately?

i ask because i need to be able to offer free samples of our products and i will only charge the customer to ship the samples, but when the customer wants to order a product (not just a sample) i will be setting the shipping cost on the actual product to free shipping and the order will be in pending mode until i adjust the order total and reply to the customer that the total has been adjusted (this is due to the orders being shipped in large frieght containers).

i want to be able to have a customer order samples and actual products in the same checkout procedure but only be prompted to pay for the shipping on the samples.

thanks

How to avoid double SKU/product codes?

Closer — Thu, 19 Nov 2009 16:07:53 GMT

When adding products, I noticed that ISC accepts duplicate product codes for different items, how can I build in a check if an SKU already exsists?

Or what file should I look at?
