Right. you can put all your tool links in the tools category.

Hi Clyde,

I run a bilingual shop (English and Chinese) and would love to install your mod instead of hand coding all the links. Does this mod support more than 1 language?

Thanks in advance !
Shirley :)

It should - the code looks for the "session language id"

I think a couple of other people use multiple languages.

Thanks Clyde, I'll try it out :)

Hate to be a bother but I only found one mention in the 20 some forum pages I went through of the php5 error:
Catchable fatal error: Object of class queryFactoryResult could not be converted to string in..htmlouput

The post said to change the htmloutput file this way.

// bof php5 fix - aclarke - 301206
if (empty($default) && isset($GLOBALS['$name'])) $default = stripslashes($GLOBALS['$name']);
// eof php5 fix - aclarke - 301206

I really don't want to change that file as it's liable to overwritten with a subsequent zencart upgrade. Has anyone else come up with a permanent solution to this problem?

Not only that but the line to be changed is not 333 in the most recent version of zencart.

By the way I've added the image url to the cart submit page - I'll post the changed code if asked to. Kind of curious why that wasn't on there in the first place.

Oh, and thanks for the contribution - it's people like you that makes my job easier!

I'm guessing but maybe a lot of people were/are still using php4+ and the issue never presented itself. Or, people just used the fix and never said anything.

and Yes, in version 1.3.7.1 in admin/includes/functions/html_output.php line 333 reads

 if (empty($default) && isset($GLOBALS[$name])) $default = stripslashes($GLOBALS[$name]);

You can always do what I do and make a backup of the original file and a backup of the changed file. The admin section of ZC is due for a complete overhaul anyway and I'm sure the devs will make sure this fix is included.

By the way I've added the image url to the cart submit page - I'll post the changed code if asked to. Kind of curious why that wasn't on there in the first place.

To be honest, I don't like taking bandwidth away from people and I just never bothered putting it in.

Glad to be of help

clunk! That was the sound of my idiot head hitting the desk. Was worrying about changing the html_output file in the cart - not admin! Thanks again!

one other question that might have been mentioned before. If so, my apologies!

What to do about the emails not having line breaks? I tried some changes to the header page but this is what I'm still getting on my server:

This is (I think) a plain text vs. html issue. The html emails appear to be formated correctly but the plain text emails appear as you have indicated.

I've used other e-mail code (i.e. the welcome e-mail and others) as the basis for the email code in the mod and continue to work at getting both the plain text and html versions to look the same.
