Integrating b2evolution into osCommerce

1 Jan 16, 2012 23:44    

Hi Guys,

I am currently integrating b2evolution into osCommerce and I must say its been a lot easier than I thought it would be.

The only issue I am having is getting the oscommerce footer to display.

The code I have in the stub file is:

<?php
require('includes/application_top.php');

$breadcrumb->add(NAVBAR_TITLE, tep_href_link(FILENAME_BLOG));

require(DIR_WS_INCLUDES . 'template_top.php');

# First, select which blog you want to display here!
# You can find these numbers in the back-office under the Blogs section.
# You can also create new blogs over there. If you do, you may duplicate this file for the new blog.
$blog = 1;

# You could *force* a specific skin here with this setting: (otherwise, default will be used)
# $skin = 'custom';

# This setting retricts posts to those published, thus hiding drafts.
# You should not have to change this.
$show_statuses = array();

# Here you can set a limit before which posts will be ignored
# You can use a unix timestamp value or 'now' which will hide all posts in the past
$timestamp_min = '';

# Here you can set a limit after which posts will be ignored
# You can use a unix timestamp value or 'now' which will hide all posts in the future
$timestamp_max = 'now';

# Additionnaly, you can set other values (see URL params in the manual)...
# $order = 'ASC'; // This for example would display the blog in chronological order...

/**
 * That's it, now let b2evolution do the rest! :)
 * Note: if you put this file in a subdirectory, you will need to adjust the path below, for example:
 * require_once dirname(__FILE__).'/../conf/_config.php';
 */
require_once dirname(__FILE__).'/conf/_config.php';

require $inc_path.'_blog_main.inc.php';

require(DIR_WS_INCLUDES . 'template_bottom.php');

require(DIR_WS_INCLUDES . 'application_bottom.php');
?>

For some reason the last 2 requires are being ignored.

Does anyone have ideas on this one.

Thanks

Mark

The script exits in _blog_main.inc.php
You need to play with a_noskin.php file instead

Hi,

I have been trying to get this sorted all week now and I am no further forward urgh

The two lines of code I need to add are

require(DIR_WS_INCLUDES . 'template_bottom.php');
require('includes/application_bottom.php');

I have tried adding them to all sorts of files but can not get the oscommerce footer to display at all.

A little help would be appreciated as I did make another post and it for some reason got deleted!

Thanks for your time

Mark

The post is gone due to forums crash.

If I remember correctly there were mysql errors saying that some tables don't exist. This happens when you install b2evo and oscommerce in different databases.

Try to install them into a single database

Many thanks for the advice.

I now have my blog wrapped inside the oscommerce framework.

Just a couple of quick questions if I may.

I am using the a_noskin file as suggested but I need to change how the date is displayed from

18/01/12
10:25:00 pm , Categories: Uncategorized

to

18/01/12 10:25:00 pm , Categories: Uncategorized

I have looked at the code but not sure what needs to go where.

Also when I am logged in as the administrator the administrator menu at the top of the page looks like this

* admin »
o Edit your profile…
o Change your profile picture…
o Change your password…
o Set your preferences…
o
o Logout
* Messages
* 12:42 pm
* Admin Adm
* Logout Close

* b2evolution »
o Open b2evolution.net
o Open Support forums
o Open Online manual
o
o b2evolution on twitter
o b2evolution on facebook
* Dashboard
* See
* Write
* Blog »
o Posts…
o Comments…
o Categories…
o
o Blog settings…
o
o Create new blog…
o
o Blog stats…
* System »

I need to know which file controls this menu so I can restyle it.

Thanks Again

Mark

A lot more needs to be done.
You need to set blog URL to a_noskin.php instead of blog1.php, and then select "use params" below.

Create a copy of "template_top.php" like "template_top_b2evo.php" and edit it to include "/rsc/css/basic.css" CSS file from b2evo. It should be included BEFORE oscommerce CSS files.

You may also need to remove this whole section

	<meta name="generator" content="b2evolution <?php echo $app_version ?>" /> <!-- Please leave this for stats -->

	<?php include_headlines() /* Add javascript and css files included by plugins and skin */ ?>
	<!-- InstanceEndEditable -->
</head>
<body>

and closing body tag

a daft question maybe but why create a new template_top and not add it directly at the top of the existing file?

Because then b2evo styles will be included in all oscommerce pages, not only in blog

ah right never thought of that although I have been changing the styles to suit my store and have edited the stylesheet to compensate for this. I have also styled the blog posts and sidebar with the infoxbox containers so it looks the same.

Just the date thing and the administrator links I really need sorting now.
