Guest Posted July 25, 2005 Share Posted July 25, 2005 God, I am totally lost. I am trying to add two new boxes to left side of my site. One for NEW PRODUCTS and another fors SPECIALS. I am completely stuck. I want the boxes (if I could ever get them to display) to show items that are newly listed (new products) and any special offers (specials). I have seen thsi doen on other sites and thought it was easy to configure (it probably is... just me that is too complicated). Is there a 'contribution' to do this, or is there an easy guide? My site is: www.cutpricechildrensclothing.co.uk It is LIVE so no test orders PLEASE, just ADVICE? Thank you all in anticipation of your help, and apologies if thsi subject has been covered before, but I could not find it. Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave <{POST_SNAPBACK}> If you wish to add a box to the left hand side then I suggest you open up /catalog/includes/boxes/information.php.and save the information file with a new name such as new_products.php Then open up /catalog/includes/column_left.php and add this code near the bottom if (substr(basename($PHP_SELF), 0, 8) != 'checkout') { include(DIR_WS_BOXES . 'new_products.php'); And now save the file Repeat the above for Specials Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry to sound so thick, but I have literally only just got in to this and am struggling. Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
