new_products.php span across multiple pages

[ridgebacktech]

Hello guys,

I have been working on the new_products.php module in OSC for quite some time. I managed to go from scratch to this:

 

All on my own. However, I have run into a road block. What I am trying to do is get the page to span across multiple pages (1, 2, 3, etc) after 20 are listed. So, in other words, when the new_products.php parses the 21st item, it will be placed on a separate page and a corresponding page link will be shown at the top or bottom of the page.

 

Here is the code in my current new_products.php:

 

<?php

<!-- new_products //-->
<?php
 $info_box_contents = array();
 $info_box_contents[] = array('text' => sprintf(TABLE_HEADING_NEW_PRODUCTS, strftime('%B')));

 new contentBoxHeading($info_box_contents);

 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, pd.products_name, 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_DESCRIPTION .

MAX_DISPLAY_NEW_PRODUCTS);
 } else {
   $new_products_query = tep_db_query("select distinct p.products_id, p.products_image, p.products_tax_class_id, pd.products_name, if(s.status, s.specials_new_products_price, p.products_price) as products_price from " .

 }

 $row = 0;
 $col = 0;
 $info_box_contents = array();
 while ($new_products = tep_db_fetch_array($new_products_query)) {
   $new_products['products_name'] = tep_get_products_name($new_products['products_id']);
   $info_box_contents[$row][$col] = array('align' => 'left',
                                          'params' => 'class="productListing-data" width="20%" valign="top"',
                                          'text' => '<a href="' . tep_href_link(FILENAME_PRODUCT_INFO, 'products_id=' . $new_products['products_id']) .

   $col ++;
   if ($col > 0) {
     $col = 0;
     $row ++;
   }
 }

 new contentBox($info_box_contents);
?>
<!-- new_products_eof //-->

 

If anyone could provide some help or tips, it would be greatly appreciated!

 

Thanks.

This fuctionality is a already in new_products.php so not sure why you doing this

 

Look in the admin area for

 

New Products Module

 

http://localhost/sone/d5gru/configuration.php?gID=3

That places all items on a single page though. I need the products to span across multiple pages.
