featured products v1.5.6 HELP

[gohard]

Hi, i posted this in contribution support, but no reply....

 

i installed the featured products v1.5.6 contribution, all steps were followed exactly, i double checked all the files to make sure all the code changes were there.

all the files were in place also according the file structure i downloaded.

I'm not sure if the instructions given were correct or not but it looks like no one else is having this problem.

I'm still not seeing 'featured products' in the admin panel under catalog, but i do see featured in the configuration menu(to turn it on/off and max listings).

And new products for <month> are still showing on the main page.

 

i've installed a clean osCommerce 2.2-MS2, and re-installed this contribution because i thought possibly STS was causing the problem.

 

u can check it out:

what am i doing wrong???

open file catalog/index.php locate code:

 

<td><?php include(DIR_WS_MODULES . FILENAME_NEW_PRODUCTS); ?></td>

 

NOTE: This code appears twice, change the second instance of the code (which is found near the bottom of the file) to

 

<td><?php include(DIR_WS_MODULES . FILENAME_FEATURED); ?></td>

 

close file and save catalog/index.php

 

did this help? remember to add products as featured products from the admin.

 

There is also other feature products contribution, take a look (its very easy to install if you dont have mods/contributions):

That didn't help, besides the change was already made. I know what the problem is i just can't fix it. I think the person(s) who wrote that contrib had their store on the root dir (www.mydomain.com), mine was installed in the catalog dir by default. So i need to somehow change the root dir, and all references(including iimages) in order to get it working. I'm not sure how to do this.

 

I read u need to remove /catalog/ from your configure.php, but i'm not sure which configure.php to change.

thanks aapinen, the wolfen contrib works better, has more options.

I had to install oscommerce onto the root directory(not the default catalog dir) and just transferred my old <root>/include folder plus the image folder to the new installation. then changed the path in the configure.php files.
