Call to undefined function

This indicates that categories_dressing_functions.php is not in the correct place, or is otherwise not working.

i think i just realized what the problem might be...

since we are running this thru a duplicate of the site, located at /catalog1.... my guess is that the program isnt written to know to look for the files within that substructure.

if this is the case, i can think of two solutions... tell me what you think:

make a few minor changes to the code temporarily, telling it to bypass and go thru the /catalog1 before getting into templates/images etc

or, could i upload all the files EXCEPT the tpl_categories.php file to the 'regular' locations and leave the tpl_categories.php in the folder thru /catalog1

IF so, will it disrupt the regular site in any way?

awaiting your reply,
ginny

nidkolio - The list marker spacing is set by internal CSS layout and is not controllable in the current version of CSS. There have been proposals to allow setting many more aspects of lists, and it will probably be possible in a future version.

Thank you!
I will survive with this space after all...
Thanks for your great mode

[gjh42]

If you have a complete Zen Cart installation in /catalog1, all mod files need to be in the /catalog1 folders. It would be asking for trouble as well as very time-consuming to make temporary changes to the file lookup system. If you are not going to simply move the /catalog1 version to the root when you have made the changes but try to move the changes to the root version, you can do that by just copying the mod files after all tweaking is done.

[customk1]

i do have a complete installation in /catalog1
and i have uploaded the mod to all correct files within /catalog1

i am going to try again, just to ensure i did it properly...

[customk1]

ok, just reloaded the category dressing files from a fresh download...

same error

ran debug utility again, same issue on line 41

my guess is that the issue is because it is down in this subfolder /catalog1

i will ask nate if i can try a quick upload to his regular site, all i have to quickly replace the tpl_categories.php file back to the original to repair.

am i correct in understanding that the additional files will 'lay dormant' if the tpl_categories.php file is the original, not the one with the mod? (basically, will the other files conflict with anything if the mod tpl_categories.php is not in place?)

[gjh42]

The functions and defines files will be effectively dormant unless the mod tpl_categories file is there to use their output.
The subfolder has nothing to do with the problem - the mod operating in the subfolder installation will see that as the root.
Are you sure you have all template folder names correct?

[customk1]

well, if you're sure its not the problem... then lets tackle other options... i just dont want there to be something screwy in having this alt catalog1 file and me waste your time working on it.

with that said, i do have everything duplicated in catalog1, however if you click on any link when on a page in catalog1, such as home... it links me back to the default mojoleather.com page... so to view any pages in catalog1 i have to physically type in the url.

i do not know if this would be causing the issue...

as for proper upload, i do have everything named properly, changing the your_template to simple_zen... and i have gotten your mod to work correctly on my site... so i dont feel like there are any issues with installation

are there any known mod conflicts that could be in play here? wondering if nate has a mod installed that i dont know about that is causing an issue... not likely i guess, but thought id ask.

running a quick errand... be back in about 1 1/2 hrs... looking forward to your reply.

thanks as always glenn,
ginny
