NuPixel Posted January 6, 2009 Share Posted January 6, 2009 I'm setting up a website that will use osCommerce as it's shopping cart. However in OSC I'd like the front page where it says "new products for $month" to be displayed on my websites main front page since I am not using OSC as the main/index page for the site. The site/pages in questions are: osCommerce area: http://preview.tinyurl.com/7p97o8 Main website: http://preview.tinyurl.com/8qrx7c Again: I want the "new products for $month" to be displayed on the main page "http://preview.tinyurl.com/8qrx7c" where it says "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet " Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lindsayanng Posted January 6, 2009 Share Posted January 6, 2009 you need to make that page a PHP page, and then have it include the products_new.php page ibelieve.. I have dont that with various includes on my site with my previous html pages, and i had no issues. A great place for newbies to start Road Map to oscommerce File Structure DO NOT PM ME FOR HELP.

NuPixel Posted January 6, 2009 Author Share Posted January 6, 2009 Everything under where I put the include disappeared nor was the included file shown. I even tried doing the file inside /includes/language/english/products_new.php Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lindsayanng Posted January 6, 2009 Share Posted January 6, 2009 well, theres no sense in doing the english file. Thats just a define file. You have to encase the <?php require(PRODUCTS_NEW) ?> into a table, and dont forget to close the php tags A great place for newbies to start Road Map to oscommerce File Structure DO NOT PM ME FOR HELP.

sLaV- Posted January 6, 2009 Share Posted January 6, 2009 You have to also make sure that front homepage includes the main osCommerce includes files (e.g - application_top.php, application_bottom.php) so that a connection to the database can be made on the page and the correct database table to be selected/etc ... You have to encase the <?php require(PRODUCTS_NEW) ?> into a table, and dont forget to close the php tags needs to be <?php include(DIR_WS_MODULES . FILENAME_NEW_PRODUCTS); ?> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lindsayanng Posted January 6, 2009 Share Posted January 6, 2009 hah... yea, sorry for my crappy coding, i was just KIND OF making it up. I should have said LOOK FOR SOMETHING THAT LOOKS LIKE THAT but isnt exactly that in your index file, but you got it now.. And yes, application top and bottom needs to be included too A great place for newbies to start Road Map to oscommerce File Structure DO NOT PM ME FOR HELP.
