New Products & Specials boxes?

[Guest]

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.

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

Hi, Thank You for that. I have that now sorted. BUT how do you get the box to display your NEWEST PRODUCTS?

Sorry to sound so thick, but I have literally only just got in to this and am struggling.
