Car Care Direct Posted July 5, 2008 Posted July 5, 2008 Good Afternoon All, I am very new to osCommerce and am struggling on some very basic things How do i get the Tell-A-Friend and Specials boxes to show up on my site. All the files seem to be there but what activates them. Regards Dave
sLaV- Posted July 5, 2008 Posted July 5, 2008 Are you using a template?? Normally templates tend to hide these in the code by commenting them out...otherwise if its a standard osCommerce install these features are displayed in column_left or column_right.php (in /catalog/includes/ directory)

germ Posted July 5, 2008 Posted July 5, 2008 Just a wild guess, but from this code: // START STS 4.3.2if ($sts->display_template_output) { $sts->restart_capture ('content'); } else { I'd think you may need to edit your STS template somewhere... :blush: Just what sLaV alluded to: Are you using a template?? If I suggest you edit any file(s) make a backup first - I'm not perfect and neither are you.

germ Posted July 5, 2008 Posted July 5, 2008 Personally, I haven't a clue how STS works. In the Contributions -> Templates and Images forum here there are support threads for STS. I'd look there.
