Silverado05 Posted July 4, 2006 Posted July 4, 2006 Has anyone used this or can tell me of something that I can use to display random items on another site. Nothing like RSS unless I can have it display a picture. I have tried this but I can't seem to get it to work. Has anyone else tried this with success? http://www.oscommerce.com/community/contri...search,anywhere -Thanks Search the forum and contributions before posting.

Silverado05 Posted July 4, 2006 Author Posted July 4, 2006 Just some more information on this. This the page it calls that shows the errors. http://www.txcampingoutfitters.com/ext_disp_best_sellers.php Now here is the bit of code I am not quite sure of that I think is cause this problem. //currently in oscommerce/blogs need to be in /oscommerce so change directory //edit next line to change to your catalogue directory ( the .. goes up a directory level) chdir(''); I don't know what is suppose to go in the chdir('HERE'); because it's in the root of my site.

Guest Posted July 4, 2006 Posted July 4, 2006 well if it's already at the same level simply remove the chdir lines from the top and bottom of the script, you don't need them.
Silverado05 Posted July 4, 2006 Author Posted July 4, 2006 Thank you Mark for the reply. That did the trick, I just commented out those lines and it works great now. -Thanks Again.
