Get new products on homepage

[marleenverbeek]

Hi all,

 

Normally when you install oscommerce, the page will show new products on the homepage. I removed this, because I thoight I wanted to do something else with this space, now I would like to place them back... Can anybody tell me how I do that? I even might want to place products there from only a certain category. I use STS and I read that there is a code to do that, but I don't know how to do that exactly.

 

Hope someone can help!

 

Thanks,

Marleen

you find the zip with the original files, and find the section which has the includes/modules/products_new.php construction in it under the DEFAULT case statement.

 

STS I do not know

Well, thats not the STS forum here......

 

There are different ways to add the module back, depending on how you create your templates.

 

If you use just the default template, or if you have the templates content displayed just by the $content tag, then,the only think you need to do is to put back the following into your html structure of index.php

          <tr>
           <td><?php include(DIR_WS_MODULES . FILENAME_NEW_PRODUCTS); ?></td>
         </tr>

I don't know how you "removed" the module, maybe you deleted more? You can do a file comparison with an original file as suggested

 

If you create your templates in a different way, then please post in the STSv4 forum, describing also what templates you use for the index files
