listsubscriber Posted March 17, 2006 Posted March 17, 2006 I installed osCommerce on my server and it runs fine. I configured the min & max values for Best Seller. However, I don't see any links in any of the PHP files that include the best_sellers.php file. Any ideas what I did wrong? I imagine what I'm doing wrong to keep Best Sellers from showing up is the same reason the Tell a Friend button doesn't show up for me? I searched through the documentation for Best Sellers, but nothing related to my issue was there. Forgive my PHP ignorance. I have been creating apps using Java/Servlet/JSP for the past 8 years. Thanks.
Guest Posted March 17, 2006 Posted March 17, 2006 both best seller and tell a friend are infoboxes, found in catalog/includes/boxes, and called using include(DIR_WS_BOXES . 'best_sellers.php'); or include(DIR_WS_BOXES . 'tell_a_friend.php'); in either catalog/includes/column_left.php or catalog/includes/column_right.php Hope that helps! ;)

Nothing showed up. Restarted Apache (I shouldn't need to do that, right?) and nothing shows up. I did manage to get rid of the Gender radio button and required telephone number. I'm making progress, but I would like to get those info boxes working. Any idea where I can start debugging this?

Yoou are aware that tell a friend only appears when you are viewing an individual product? An (i may be wrong on this without checking) but i think bestsellers will only appear if you have sold something, have you put a sale through?

An (i may be wrong on this without checking) but i think bestsellers will only appear if you have sold something, have you put a sale through? Yes, I have a few sales, but they are all in separate categories. X360 has a sale, PS2, PSP, and a few movies all have a sale. Do I need to wait until I have multiple sales in a category? I see a query that already exists in column_right.php that display best_sellers if global_product_notification is '1'. Is the global_product_notification a global config parameter I need to set, or is that the notification a user sets when he edits account info? Thx in advance.
Guest Posted March 19, 2006 Posted March 19, 2006 enable product notifications is an option in admin->configuration. Turn it on, all should work fine.
listsubscriber Posted March 21, 2006 Author Posted March 21, 2006 enable product notifications is an option in admin->configuration. Turn it on, all should work fine. 'Allow guest to tell a friend' is the option I set to true in the Admin -> configuration. Still, no notification button on the products. I have a few more sales now, and still no best seller's list. Why am I not getting these features? Thanks.

Ok. been running osCommerce for a while now and I finally think I know why none of this stuff is showing up. I am using a template that I purchased. Do you guys know where one can get support for turning on these pieces for osCommerce templates? Thanks.
PD_Steve Posted July 31, 2006 Posted July 31, 2006 Who did you purchase the template from? Also, pop the modified column_right.php code in here if possible so it can be checked out. Its much easier to actually check code than try to advise what to fix when your using a modded template.
