Can I insert an infobox in an already existing .html page?

[andrei23]

Hi! I want to find out if it's possible to insert an infobox in an already existing .html page, and if yes can you please tell me how? I am new to this and maybe I missed it out. Many thanks!

If by 'an already existing .html page' you mean a standard osCommerce install, then sure it's possible.

 

You need to modify the following file(s):

<install directory>/includes/column_left.php

- or -

<install directory>/includes/column_right.php

 

depending on where you want the new box to appear.

 

Simply add the line

require(DIR_WS_BOXES . 'mycode.php');

 

in the appropriate place, substituting the name of your new infobox code with the mycode.php as needed.

 

If you're using some template system, such as STS, then it's still possible, although adding the new code would be a little different. If you could clarify what you mean I might be able to help a little more.

 

If you need any other help, feel free to contact me.

Tanks Dave, but, what I meant with 'an already existing .html page' was not a standard osCommerce install. My website was almoust finished when I discovered osCommerce, and I didn't want to lose all this work. Actually what I intend to do is to put an infobox on all previous pages of my site and also to insert an addtocart button for every product in their original pages. I'm not sure that's even possible. I should also specify that I'm using STSv4.5.8 with oscommerce-2.2rc1.
