YAXS: Mods-x Opens its doors to the public.

Posted by: McNazOn 2004/8/13 6:32:42 5059 reads

This is my fourth Xoops effort and must admit I am getting more and more confident with Xoops, the skins and smarty theme engine. It is a joy to write modules for.

But anyway, just wanted to let you know that http://www.mods-x.com has opened its doors to the public. Here you can find a growing list of articles relating to running Linux on the X-Box. The site employs a slightly modified OSCommerce module for Xoops to sell our X-Box liberation services.

The theme is based on Montisarts' excellent theme. The header has been tweaked and so was the css. I am not a graphics designer, I am a programmer, so take it easy on the design

Xoops team: I love your work.

A OSCommerce module that works with Xoops.

Looks like a excellent site, very nice indeed.

Are there any plans to release what looks like a stable version OSCommerce as a module within xoops?

Excellent work anyway.

Thanks Tom.

I used XOSC for the website but must admit that I modified the HTML generating code abit. The version I have is still abit cranky when trying to display OsCommerce blocks while outside of the module (like News for example).

I did play around Smartying up a recent CVS build of OsCommerce but after a week gave up. I'd love to look into again when M3 comes out.

And again, thanks for the kind comments.

Hey,

I will be using Montisart theme also with the OSC module. The OSC messes up the theme (missing background) a bit. I see you have corrected that on your site.

Would you mind sharing your solution?

Thanks

I know your gonna shout at me I'm the idiot that did a test purchase (false account), won't do it again.

But....................

It worked, generally when I tested the XOSC it generated errors whilst making a purchase. Did you not have this problem?

Once again excellent work buddy

Hi Lance.

It wasn't that tricky really. The biggest issue with integrating XOSC with the montisarts theme was the CSS collision. That can be solved by commenting out shared CSS classes like BODY out of the XOSC CSS file. That way, OSCommerce uses the theme's CSS for some of its elements not its own. That will solve your background and text color issues.

The other thing that I did was to disable XOSC code that called start_session(). I've got the code on my laptop and will dig it out later to tell you which file and line. Its onlt in one place and you can do a keyword search for the file to find it.

The last thing was editing the header HTML generation code on each of the major pages. First I removed the little images on the top right (which weren't to my taste). Then I commented out the code. Unfortunatly I had to do this on several files. Again, I can get the details from my other PC later today if you need the info. Either that or again, do a grep/search through the files for any tags and comment these out as they are not needed.

I'd love to SMARTy this sucker!

Thank you Xoops!

Cool, I'd like to have the details of the changes.

The CSS part is good, I have to do the same with X-IPB to get the classes not to clash, will do with XOSC.

Thanks.
