I think that your modification of catalog/controller/common/home.php is wrong (haven't looked too closely at the rest of the code).

Here's my vqmod of the same thing. I used to run it on 1.4.9.3 and have just updated it for 1.5.1.3 (tested and working).

1.5.1.3 version

Now updated for 1.5.4.1

1.5.4.1 version

thanks so much i will compare the to mods to see where i have gone wrong and learn from your working code.

as this is my 1st vqmod that i have tried working hopefully i have more luck getting it right next time.

as they say if you don't succeed at first try try try again.

my next challenges are

1) to add my 2 social media buttons i have hard coding into the header file using Vqmod so hard coding is not needed
2) moving the cart and search bar i have on my site to new location using vqmod from the original location in template.

This will make it sooooo much easier when upgrading or installing bug fixes to my template i use have customised.

Thanks again

When you do the "search position" (ie. <search position="after"><![CDATA[ )in your vQmod, be sure to include the entire line of code. Some of the searches in your post look like they are only a part of the line of code.

i have now found out the problem i was missing the closing tag for the file part of the XML so i added </file> before the
</modification> in the XML and all now works fine.

just a quick question do you know if it is possiable to edit css files using vqmod

I haven't tried it myself but I don't see why it wouldn't work.

do you know if or how is possiable to get the xml script just to add coding at the end of the file without adding before or after or even replacing

as if this is possiable i could use this so any Css changes i add using Vqmod would just go at the end of the main template css this would allow me to upgrade all files on the templates and not worry if they are over written as vqmod does not get over written each time.

i have found you can you a comand called bottom but can not find a script where is this used so i can see the correct syntax for it.

onces again i thank you for all your assistance

Try something like this:

Code: Select all

	<file name="catalog/view/theme/YOURTHEME/stylesheet/stylesheet.css">
        <operation>
            <search position="bottom"><![CDATA[
            You don't need any code here as it will be ignored
            ]]></search>
            <add><![CDATA[
            INSERT YOUR NEW CODE HERE
            ]]></add>
        </operation>
	</file>
