Two Product Specials Right Hand Side

[fransen]

Hello,

 

I'm sure trying to add two product specials on the right hand site of the website. The site is http://www.lcs-collectables.com. How do I go about it? I'm brand new at this oscommerce and would like to learn.

 

Thanks!

specials box picks a random product from those that are set to have a special price and therefore the product changes when the page changes or the page is refreshed.

 

are you looking to have two boxes with fixed products in the box or two boxes each slecting random products from those that are marked as special

I'm looking to have 2 products that are selected randomly and are marked as special.

catalog/includes/column_right.php add a second call to specials as shown

 

  if (isset($HTTP_GET_VARS['products_id'])) {
if (basename($PHP_SELF) != FILENAME_TELL_A_FRIEND) include(DIR_WS_BOXES . 'tell_a_friend.php');
 } else {
include(DIR_WS_BOXES . 'specials.php');
include(DIR_WS_BOXES . 'specials.php');

 }

 

however in doing this sometimes the same product may show in both boxes

I don't have any of that code on that page. All I have is:
