Adding to the Main Page

[Guest]

Hi, I am working on an osCommerce project currently and am in need of some major help. It would be greatly appreciated.

 

I need to extend the length of main page to add an image and some text centered below everything. Can I just add it as HTML to the index.php? I know basic PHP but I am still learning. Any help would be awesome. Thanks!

hm.. i'm skeptical about trying that. i don't think i have a default.php...is that the same as index.php?

The answer is yes you can, but I suspect it would not give the effect you want.

 

Rather than wait for 15 hrs for a response I hope you have already tried it.

 

Probably /catalog/includes/footer.php is the place to put this code if yopu want it on every page.

you should be able to use the banner manager to add banners below the footer on the main page. This might add them

to every page though as I have not tried it yet. You could imbed the text in the banner.

Your main page (index.php) probably ends something like this:

 

<!-- footer //-->
<?php require(DIR_WS_INCLUDES . 'footer.php'); ?>
<!-- footer_eof //-->
<br>
</body>
</html>
<?php require(DIR_WS_INCLUDES . 'application_bottom.php'); ?>

Change to:

 

<!-- footer //-->
<?php require(DIR_WS_INCLUDES . 'footer.php'); ?>
<!-- footer_eof //-->
<br>

<center>

PUT YOUR NEW ITEMS HERE

</center>
</body>
</html>
<?php require(DIR_WS_INCLUDES . 'application_bottom.php'); ?>

but wouldn't that change all the pages? i only want it on the main page

What do you consider "all the pages"?

:unsure:

 

It won't show on your "Contact Us", "Login", "Shipping & Returns", etc., pages.

i mean it should only appear on the main page... the page that site opens on but not any of the other ones... so i guess that would work... i'll try it out. Thanks!

Maybe you want this:

 

<!-- footer //-->
<?php require(DIR_WS_INCLUDES . 'footer.php'); ?>
<!-- footer_eof //-->
<br>
<?php
 if ( $cPath == '' ) {
?>

<center>

PUT YOUR NEW ITEMS HERE

</center>

<?php
 }
?>

</body>
</html>
<?php require(DIR_WS_INCLUDES . 'application_bottom.php'); ?>

That will only display it if no categories are selected (I think).

it's weird.... when i add that... for some reason the whole format of the page changes... it is no longer centered...and the fonts are gone.. weird..

If you posted (or PM'd me) a link to the page, I might be able to tell you why.

 

Offhand, I'd say your have HTML errors (mismatched <table> tags most likely).
