Guest Posted June 9, 2010 Posted June 9, 2010 Hello, I´m new here and I´m starting to configure an oscommerce online shop for my website, oitenta.com I would like to leave here a few questions I wasn´t able to answer by myself. My oscommerce shop´s url is http://www.oitenta.es/nueva/tienda/catalog/ 1) The first thing I´m trying to do is to put an image over the product listing, in the central column, as a welcome msg... I can´t make it work 2) My second question is, how could I do to have a page navigation, like blogs to see more products? I want to show in the index, 6 products, but I would like to have a next-previous page buttons to show the others... Sorry for my english and thanks a lot!
starfox221 Posted June 12, 2010 Posted June 12, 2010 The trick is knowing where to put the image in your index.php. While in the past I've tried editing includes/languages/YOUR_LANGUAGE/index.php and placing an image in the welcome text, this can be cumbersome in terms of editing it later. However, I stumbled upon a good contribution while rebuilding my Dad's site. Extra-Pages It basically adds editing functionality to your home page (index.php) and allows you to throw images, etc into it. Coupled with a WYSIWYG editor ADD-ON of your choice, this could work for you pretty well. A note is, that this contrib will add on an extra box to the left hand/right hand side of your website. You can easily not have that by simply not editing column_left.php or column_right.php (unless you want the extra pages to show up). The extra pages mod will then exist solely as an editing function for your index.php in your Admin panel. As far as what you want for the second part of your project, I'm not sure how to achieve that just yet.

Your second question if I understand you correctly. The new products of the month of box shows 6 products and you'd like to have a button that loads the next 6? As far as I know there is no add-on for that. You can increase the amount of products displayed by going into your admin section and setting the Max Values for New Products to a higher number. You can also try an add-on called All Products, which will generate a page with all your store products. And there is also an RSS feed that does the same. There is also an add on called RokSlideshow that lets you display images and stuff that is scrollable.
Guest Posted June 12, 2010 Posted June 12, 2010 thanks a lot. I´ll test some of those. I´m not used to configure oscommerce and testing contributions, but that´s my next step.. I´m wondering when i will be able to put the shop online to the public!! thanks, have a nice weekend.
