First up, apologies for my tardiness in getting these done. I should have had them done some time ago, but have been staying at my daughter's place (due to family matters) and my daughter doesn't have access to the Internet.

I've been having a few problems with my own server lately, I run it from home and I haven't been there very often over the past couple of months. There has been a lot of (much needed) rain where I live that has been causing problems with power outages which keeps knocking my server offline. So, to ensure the availability of these modules, I have uploaded them to the main contributions site.

The following packages have been updated and are available from OpenCart Contributions. All packages have been updated for version 1.2.8 and beyond and have been tested on both 1.2.8 and 1.2.9.

Hi fido-x,

Thank you very much for your contributions.
They are popular addons especially the Homepage and news modules.

First, thanks for the modules. But I'm having a problem with the FAQ module. I have followed all of the install instructions to the letter. When I get to the Admin section and select "Admin–>Configuration–>Users–>User Group" and then click the edit link in the action column for the "Top Administrator", tick the checkboxes for "catalog/faq" in both the "Access" and "Modify" lists, then click the "Save" button; I get a "Forbidden" page in my browser. That's it. Can't go any further.

Any ideas would be appreciated.

I've tried setting magic_quotes_gpc to OFF and this did not help. Any other suggestions?

Thanks.

The oc database is not shared and there is no prefix. Is this what you were saying? If not, please except my apologies and elaborate. :)

I'm using 1.2.8, didn't think there were enough updates to warrant a change from 1.2.8 to 1.2.9 - Besides Fido-x said the modules were for both releases.

The "DB Prefix" is stored in the configuration file (config.php and admin/config.php). Since my contributions aren't involved with payments, I don't need to provide support for any payment modules. I will include support for "SEO URLs" in the next release.

The modules were built on 1.2.8, but are compatible with 1.2.9.

I'm having some problems with the FAQ package on 1.2.9

1) I have no "catalog/controller/module/information.php" file to update, however I do have a "catalog/controller/module/information/information.php" file. I tried putting the text in there but i'm seeing some odd results (see #2 below).

2) On the root page of the site, the menu text isn't working for FAQ. I just get "text_faq" instead of the correct link text. The link does work though. Once I clicked the link and get to the FAQ page (of which all text in the FAQ displays correctly), the menu link has changed text to "Get answers to those commonly asked questions!" (which is also the heading on the faq column itself).

Any thoughts? O0



Thanks!

Hi Danny,

In answer to your question, the FAQ package could be modified to include categories/subcategories for questions, making it similar to the "Categories" module. However, this can cause conflicts with the "Category" module if "path" is used (I found this out when I built an image gallery module for my own site). But, having said that, the conflict is easily resolvable with a slight modification to the controller for the "Category" module.
Customizing the module to suit your requirements will require a small donation (which can be made by clicking the "Donate" button at http://www.fido-x.net/index.php?route=i ... ion/donate). PM me if you would like the customization done.

I understand where you're coming from (I hadn't looked at the code in the "model" in 1.2.9 before releasing these modules - my bad, I hadn't fully tested them on 1.2.9). This issue will be addressed in the next release. However, it should be noted, that this is not really a DB_PREFIX - it's more of a table prefix, since it is not the database that is prefixed, it is the tables within the database that are prefixed. As for the compatibility issue - if you are not using database prefixes, the modules will work with 1.2.9.

Does the user you logged in as have the necessary permissions to modify the "Top Administrator"? If you do have the necessary permissions, it may have something to do with ownership or permissions of the files themselves. I haven't come across this problem myself, so I'm not sure how to resolve it.

Thank you for news-module, works proper 8)
Only a small error has crept in:
In news.sql the 'keyword'-field is missing and its better to set the collation/charset to utf-8.

Hi guys

I am trying to get the FAQs' working on OpenCart 1.3. I got it to work perfectly, but one thing.

On the module information it will not show FAQs' link.

If I go to mywebsite.com/index.php?route=information/faq it works perfectly. In admin it works to.

What I find out is that in installation file is: Edit your store‘s "catalog/language/english/information.php" file by adding the following line:–

$_['text_faq'] = 'FAQs';


but in Opencart 1.3 is catalog/language/english/module/information.php

So I looked and looked where i can change the information so I get link in my information module, but i can't find it.

Can you guys help?? FAQs' its grate I really like to use it.

Thaks

You need to edit the following files:--
"catalog/controller/module/information.php" by adding --

Code: Select all

$this->data['text_faq'] = $this->language->get('text_faq');
$this->data['faq'] = $this->url->http('information/faq');
"catalog/language/english/module/information.php" by adding --

Code: Select all

$_['text_faq'] = 'FAQs';
and "catalog/view/theme/default/template/module/information.tpl" by inserting --

Code: Select all

<li><a href="<?php echo $faq; ?>"><?php echo $text_faq; ?></a></li>
While on the subject of FAQs, the FAQ package has been updated and now supports topics and sub-topics. Get it from http://www.fido-x.net/index.php?route=p ... duct_id=42

The following modules have also been updated for OpenCart 1.3.0:--
Homepage Package -- http://www.fido-x.net/index.php?route=p ... duct_id=40
News Package -- http://www.fido-x.net/index.php?route=p ... duct_id=39
Events Calendar -- http://www.fido-x.net/index.php?route=p ... duct_id=41
Sponsors Module -- http://www.fido-x.net/index.php?route=p ... duct_id=38

fido-x you are a genius :D Thank you so much it works perfectly. Just finished installing faq, news and sponsors and they are grate.

I have one question about your sponsors module: after I upload image 160 px by 250 px it will get converted to much smaller version. Where I can set it so if I upload image 300 x 500 or so it will convert it to 160px x what ever length ?

Anyway thank you again for your work its grate.

Thanks for the compliment.

The default image size for the module is set at 160 x 60 and is hard-coded in the controller (catalog/controller/module/sponsors.php). If you want to change it to a size more suitable for your own purposes, this is the file to look in.

Regards, Fido-X.
