Just want to say Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all!
What a joyous season of the year! It even snowed here a little. My dog Maggie was outside using her nose as a shovel for the snow so that was funny … she was running around with the snow on her nose.
The docs are slowly being moved to this wiki and still in progress although this will slow down during the holidays.
Take care if you are driving or flying to family and enjoy the season!
Hi Everyone!
I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving and Thanksgiving weekend! I cooked a chicken instead of a turkey this year and had my special dressing and homemade cranberries … wow am I full! I get a brand of chicken that does not have chemicals in it and is only around in certain areas. The brand is called “Smart Chicken†… that chicken wasn’t too smart if he ended up on the table!!! LOL
Anyway, I have started moving the doc information from the knowledgebase to the new wiki confluence site and cleaning it up. The new wiki is really nice because you can type in the “Rich Text†box area and the code is automatically extrapolated into the wiki box. Also the wiki editing is much easier than other wiki sites I have seen. As I understand it the new wiki site will send pdf files of the text so this is a plus.
I really thank Harald a lot for making this so nice and easy for all of us! Thank you Harald!
I look forward to getting the docs ready for ms3 and ask the community to send me ideas or changes to look into.
We all need to work together!
Hi,
Knowledgebase Developments:
A new kb article has been written about incorporating php with mouseover graphics to hold the session id…enjoy!
Add Mouse Over Graphic Links with Session ID
There are some touchups to the article “Add php Links to Graphics with Session ID” on that same page.
Live Shops Developments:
Work is continuing on revamping the live shop listings putting them into categories/subcategories according to the site’s main description or the majority of products in one category on each site.
When a site is submitted to be a live shop the description should incorporate the “main” item that is sold. This really helps us to categorize each site and put in the appropriate category/subcategory.
The site categories are being broken down to 3 levels so in the future someone will be able to search for a site in the “live shops” section of osCommerce. This will really be nice to specifically go to a category/subcategory and find sites of that listing in the future.
As always we appreciate the osCommerce community!
Hi,
The kb has been updated with an article about database errors into one article with what the error is, what the correction is, and any references to read more about the error.
Database Error Corrections Article
This information has helped me with problems due to a server change or simply forgetting something so hope it will be valuable!
Thanks for your continued support!
