Help w/ SQL code

[rgallego85]

Hi guys,

 

So I've been trying to figure out a way to grab important information in the product_info page (such as item desciription, item URL, and image) and place it in the new_products page. I've finally concluded that I need to modify the SQL code in new_products.php to include the data I want from product_info.php.

 

I'm trying to mess with this line of code (in new_products.php):

 

  if ( (!isset($new_products_category_id)) || ($new_products_category_id == '0') ) {

$new_products_query = tep_db_query("select p.products_id, p.products_image, p.products_tax_class_id, if(s.status, s.specials_new_products_price, p.products_price) as products_price from " . TABLE_PRODUCTS . " p left join " . TABLE_SPECIALS . " s on p.products_id = s.products_id where products_status = '1' order by p.products_date_added desc limit " . MAX_DISPLAY_NEW_PRODUCTS);

 } else {

$new_products_query = tep_db_query("select distinct p.products_id, p.products_image, p.products_tax_class_id, if(s.status, s.specials_new_products_price, p.products_price) as products_price from " . TABLE_PRODUCTS . " p left join " . TABLE_SPECIALS . " s on p.products_id = s.products_id, " . TABLE_PRODUCTS_TO_CATEGORIES . " p2c, " . TABLE_CATEGORIES . " c where p.products_id = p2c.products_id and p2c.categories_id = c.categories_id and c.parent_id = '" . (int)$new_products_category_id . "' and p.products_status = '1' order by p.products_date_added desc limit " . MAX_DISPLAY_NEW_PRODUCTS);

 }

 

I'm thinking I need to modify the else statement $new_products_query. I looked at the SQL database graphic that was included in the OScommerce 2.2 package (it's a .pdf) and I identified the table I want to include in the SELECT query. The table is TABLES_PRODUCTS_DESCRIPTIONS and it includes all the necessary data that the product_info page uses.

 

So my main question is: how do I add all of the keys from TABLES_PRODUCTS_DESCRIPTIONS to the above SELECT query without changing anything else? I think once I get this data included into $new_products_query, I can then figure out a way to output what I want onto the new_products module. I've been trying to mess with code by adding additional JOIN statements but I keep getting errors, so any help you guys can provide is greatly appreciated!
