Do you guys ever release a New verson of the Script?
Hi David,
Ive recently downloaded and browsed through the file structure. Im aware of how important it is to get any early structural decisions correct in order to prevent headaches later on! Id like to leave the original file structure in place if possible so that all my own code is seperate. I guess at a minumum Ill need to add one include line in any price tapestry files I want to develop further? with all my include files in a seperate directory ie. myIncludes? If I need to expand on the mySql usage I presume its ok just to add further tables to the existing database? A bit basic really ! but I want to get off on the right foot. Any comments appreciated.
thanks, Steve.
Hi Steve,
Yes - that makes sense as long as all the changes you wish to make can be done outside of the main files. You can certainly add more tables to the database, that won't cause any problems at all.
In terms of HTML modification, search the files in the html/ directory for the calls to include user files, similar to the following code in html/searchresults.php
if (file_exists("html/user_searchresults_after.php")) require("html/user_searchresults_after.php");This means that you can create a file called html/user_searchresults_after.php and the contents of that file will be included after the search results (there is an equivalent file for inclusion before the search results).
This is the mechanism through which you can include code such as AdSense whilst being to re-install the script without overwriting your own files.
Hope this helps!
Cheers,
David.
Hi,
Price Tapestry has been stable and static for some time now. There are additional features and enhancement that can be found by browsing the support forum (where you will find example code).
As the script is really intended to be a base from which you develop your own site it would make upgrading difficult if there were new versions available all the time so this is not something I wish to do...
Hope this helps!
Cheers,
David.
