how did you get more than one new product to show up in the new products box?

use one of the image contributions and use proper small images for small images, medium images for product info pages and large images for pop-ups. The current setup has the worst of both worlds - the small images are of low quality because they're scrunched AND they take too long to load.

 

I used Ultra Pics - it's very good.

<?php

  if ($random_product = tep_random_select("select products_id, products_image, products_tax_class_id, products_price from " . TABLE_PRODUCTS . " where products_status='1' order by products_date_added desc limit " . MAX_RANDOM_SELECT_NEW)) {

    $random_product['products_name'] = tep_get_products_name($random_product['products_id']);

    $random_product['specials_new_products_price'] = tep_get_products_special_price($random_product['products_id']);

 

    if ($random_product['specials_new_products_price']) {

      $whats_new_price =  '<s>' . $currencies->display_price($random_product['products_price'], tep_get_tax_rate($random_product['products_tax_class_id'])) . '</s><br>';

      $whats_new_price .= '<span class="productSpecialPrice">' . $currencies->display_price($random_product['specials_new_products_price'], tep_get_tax_rate($random_product['products_tax_class_id'])) . '</span>';

    } else {

      $whats_new_price =  $currencies->display_price($random_product['products_price'], tep_get_tax_rate($random_product['products_tax_class_id']));

    }

 

    $info_box_contents = array();

    $info_box_contents[] = array('align' => 'center',

                                'text'  => '<a href="' . tep_href_link(FILENAME_PRODUCT_INFO, 'products_id=' . $random_product['products_id']) . '">' . tep_image(DIR_WS_IMAGES . $random_product['products_image'], $random_product['products_name'], SMALL_IMAGE_WIDTH, SMALL_IMAGE_HEIGHT) . '</a><br><a href="' . tep_href_link(FILENAME_PRODUCT_INFO, 'products_id=' . $random_product['products_id'], 'NONSSL') . '">' . $random_product['products_name'] . '</a><br>' . $whats_new_price

                                );

    new infoBox($info_box_contents);

  }

?>

 

thats the code for the new product...just find it in your /includes/boxes/whats_new.php and double it
