Guest Posted August 30, 2005 Share Posted August 30, 2005 in catalog\includes\whats_new.php there should be a line like this: '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']) . '">' . $random_product['products_name'] . '</a><br>' . $whats_new_price); replace it with this 'text' => '<a href="' . tep_href_link(FILENAME_PRODUCT_INFO, 'products_id=' . $random_product['products_id']) . '></a><br><a href="' . tep_href_link(FILENAME_PRODUCT_INFO, 'products_id=' . $random_product['products_id']) . '">' . $random_product['products_name'] . '</a><br>' . $whats_new_price); Backup your file first Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted August 30, 2005 Share Posted August 30, 2005 Sorry, yes you right I missed the boxes dir. So here is the original line from your file 'text' => '<a class="whatsnew" 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 class="whatsnew" href="' . tep_href_link(FILENAME_PRODUCT_INFO, 'products_id=' . $random_product['products_id']) . '">' . $random_product['products_name'] . '</a><br>'); and the new line: 'text' => '<a class="whatsnew" href="' . tep_href_link(FILENAME_PRODUCT_INFO, 'products_id=' . $random_product['products_id']) . '">' . $random_product['products_name'] . '</a><br>' . $whats_new_price . '<br><a class="whatsnew" href="' . tep_href_link(FILENAME_PRODUCT_INFO, 'products_id=' . $random_product['products_id']) . '">View More</a>'); Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 30, 2005 Share Posted August 30, 2005 replaced that line, it doesn't appear to have changed anything Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 30, 2005 Share Posted August 30, 2005 Now from what you mentioned let me understand is it the whats new box you want to modify or the new products in the index page? Can you be more specific? That line should modify the box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 30, 2005 Share Posted August 30, 2005 oh, sorry. i want to change: "New Products For August" on http://demo.oscommerce.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 30, 2005 Share Posted August 30, 2005 ok then open file catalog\includes\modules\new_products.php In there it should be this line of code: 'text' => '<a href="' . tep_href_link(FILENAME_PRODUCT_INFO, 'products_id=' . $new_products['products_id']) . '">' . tep_image(DIR_WS_IMAGES . $new_products['products_image'], $new_products['products_name'], SMALL_IMAGE_WIDTH, SMALL_IMAGE_HEIGHT) . '</a><br><a href="' . tep_href_link(FILENAME_PRODUCT_INFO, 'products_id=' . $new_products['products_id']) . '">' . $new_products['products_name'] . '</a><br>' . $currencies->display_price($new_products['products_price'], tep_get_tax_rate($new_products['products_tax_class_id']))); Replace it with this line: 'text' => '<a href="' . tep_href_link(FILENAME_PRODUCT_INFO, 'products_id=' . $new_products['products_id']) . '">' . $new_products['products_name'] . '</a><br>' . $currencies->display_price($new_products['products_price'], tep_get_tax_rate($new_products['products_tax_class_id'])) . '<br><a href="' . tep_href_link(FILENAME_PRODUCT_INFO, 'products_id=' . $new_products['products_id']) . '">View More...</a>'); Hopefully should do what you need. Havent checked for the quotes if there is a problem let me know I'll double check the syntax. Backup first Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 30, 2005 Share Posted August 30, 2005 seems to have worked, but how can i make it all in a table, so it spans the width of the page, like: product name -- short desc -- price -- more info right now it looks like: name price view more Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 30, 2005 Share Posted August 30, 2005 if you remove the <br> tags should take out the new lines now.... do you want to have 1 item per row or multiple items? You could set it up in a separate table alltogether but that will require more mods. To simplify your work use a variable and add the text progressively for each row or cell once you've done with the table row/cell you could add it to the $info_box_contents[$row][$col] array.

Guest Posted August 30, 2005 Share Posted August 30, 2005 i removed the <br> tags, but now they are still next to eachother, like: name - price - view more name - price - view more i would like it to be: name - price - view more name - price - view more only i would like to add maybe a 50 character part of the description, if it doesn't require any heavy modding, so it would look like: name - short desc - price - view more name - short desc - price - view more Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 30, 2005 Share Posted August 30, 2005 ok so I assume one item per row. In the same file this line: 'params' => 'class="smallText" width="33%" valign="top"', sets up the width each item allocates so the default is 3 items per row hence the 33%. To begin try changing the width to 100% and this code to switch rows columns $col ++; if ($col > 2) { $col = 0; $row ++; } replace the above lines with this $row ++; so col is always 0 and row is incrementing with each item Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 30, 2005 Share Posted August 30, 2005 thank you :) would it take a lot of modifications to get a bit of the description to show? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 30, 2005 Share Posted August 30, 2005 If you install the "short description" contribution should be fairly simple. You will then have to modify in the same file 2 things (Make sure you have the contrib installed before modifying your files) 1. Retrieve from the sql query the short description field. So this line: $new_products_query = tep_db_query("select distinct p.products_id, p.products_image, p.products_tax_class_id, if(s.status, s.specials_new_products_price, p.products_price) as products_price from " . TABLE_PRODUCTS . " p left join " . TABLE_SPECIALS . " s on p.products_id = s.products_id, " . TABLE_PRODUCTS_TO_CATEGORIES . " p2c, " . TABLE_CATEGORIES . " c where p.products_id = p2c.products_id and p2c.categories_id = c.categories_id and c.parent_id = '" . (int)$new_products_category_id . "' and p.products_status = '1' order by p.products_date_added desc limit " . MAX_DISPLAY_NEW_PRODUCTS); will be like this: $new_products_query = tep_db_query("select distinct p.products_id, p.short_desc, p.products_image, p.products_tax_class_id, if(s.status, s.specials_new_products_price, p.products_price) as products_price from " . TABLE_PRODUCTS . " p left join " . TABLE_SPECIALS . " s on p.products_id = s.products_id, " . TABLE_PRODUCTS_TO_CATEGORIES . " p2c, " . TABLE_CATEGORIES . " c where p.products_id = p2c.products_id and p2c.categories_id = c.categories_id and c.parent_id = '" . (int)$new_products_category_id . "' and p.products_status = '1' order by p.products_date_added desc limit " . MAX_DISPLAY_NEW_PRODUCTS); 2. The line that was modified earlier: 'text' => '<a href="' . tep_href_link(FILENAME_PRODUCT_INFO, 'products_id=' . $new_products['products_id']) . '">' . $new_products['products_name'] . '</a><br>' . $currencies->display_price($new_products['products_price'], tep_get_tax_rate($new_products['products_tax_class_id'])) . '<br><a href="' . tep_href_link(FILENAME_PRODUCT_INFO, 'products_id=' . $new_products['products_id']) . '">View More...</a>'); will now be something like this: 'text' => '<a href="' . tep_href_link(FILENAME_PRODUCT_INFO, 'products_id=' . $new_products['products_id']) . '">' . $new_products['products_name'] . '</a><br>' . $currencies->display_price($new_products['products_price'], tep_get_tax_rate($new_products['products_tax_class_id'])) . '<br><a href="' . tep_href_link(FILENAME_PRODUCT_INFO, 'products_id=' . $new_products['products_id']) . '">' . $new_products[short_desc] . '</a>'); You need to format it accordingly of course, but it should give you the idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
