Display Sellers First & Last Name on Print Ad

VanWertAds*com · (#1)

when printing out the classified ad I want to replace the sellers {$listingname} with their First and last name. What tag would I use to do this. Thanks!

Hi-

You'll have to open up printer.php and modify the SQL query on line 23 so that it pulls out the customers first and last name.

Then assign the values to the $class_tpl in the same way as the other values are assigned.

something like:

PHP Code:


		
			
$class_tpl->assign('firstname', safeStripSlashes($rs['fname']));

and then place it it the template with {$firstname}

Hope this helps.

Thanks, I give that a try.... another problem I am having is on my listing detail pages the Sellers user name does not show up at all. Do I make changes in viewlisting.tpl.php or viewlisting2.tpl.php also why are their two of these files? Thanks

In admin the top right section is "front end settings". In there is "listing view settings". You have the choice of photos on the side (format 1 thus viewlisting.tpl.php) or photos on the top (format 2 thus viewlisting2.tpl.php).

Those are the templates where your seller is displayed, but try dragging your cursor over the area where it should be (in your browser). You might have the font color set to the same color as your background, check your css file.

{$smarty.const.LANG_SELLER} should be in your viewlisting template. It is defined in your language file in the language folder.

I believe this is also an option in group settings...

I have checked here and everything is setup correct.... What is the default code to show seller username - eg. {$listingname} this is what I am using and nothing is displaying???? But yet it works for the print option!!!!! I have also tryied {$ownername} but nothing....

Also the "Contact The Seller" form is not set at the right width for the page. It looks like its about 70%, how do I change this setting??

Thanks!

Definately check your user group settings. {$ownername} is the right smarty tag to use. By putting {debug} at the begining of your layout template, you'll get a window (disable pop-up blocker) showing the variables passed on by the scripts. I put it between </head> and <body>.

Templates/yourtemplate/contact/contactowner.tpl.php is the template for contacting the owner. The table there should have a class "tableborder". Look in style.css to check/change the width. This class is used throughout the site and should come with the width set to 100%. What template are you using? Try changing templates in admin to see what happens. Have you been making changes to template you're using?

In the Smarty Debug Console it is showing {$ownername} as empty... I have checked my account details and my first and last name is their.... I have also looked in User View Settings and User Groups. Not sure where else to look?
