Advice on how to get module working

Post by TJINAK »

I really, really want to get the Oscommerce module working.  I can install it but displaying product from the store is not working.  I'm not a developer but I'm working on learning PHP (bought several books).

Is there a resource somewhere that will help me understand how modules work in CMS?  I looked at the developers docs but really didn't find what I was looking for.

Here is what I've done so far:

I  tried to create a new catagory (MUSIC)  in Oscommerce, added an item, then tried again with this:

{cms_module module="oscommerce"  category="MUSIC"}

I got back this:

default action for oscommerce, not implemented now, you can see some part's on this site or using {cms_module module="oscommerce" action="test"} tag.

I created a  new page and added this code:

{cms_module module="oscommerce" action="test"}

This is what the page looked like:


test content for oscommerce

$id = m3,
$params = Array ( [module] => oscommerce [action] => test ) 1,
return_id = 30

list of categories:                                categories (not implemented)
list of products in category cPath=3_10 cPath=3_10 (not implemented)
products info for product with id=22    products_id=22 (price not running)

Can anyone advise how I can bring the Oscommerce products into my content area of my pages?

Thank you,

Tim

afaik the oscommerce module is incomplete........ you may want to do a search for Zen-Cart as others have learned how to embed zen-cart into oscommerce.
