keys05 Posted September 5, 2010 Posted September 5, 2010 My site has a "bestsellers" list that shows the items that have been purchased. Is there a way to remove the " Bestsellers " list from my website? I am not sure where I should look to find the option to remove it. Any help anyone can offer would be much appreciated.

You have to make a code change in the column_right.php file. The double slash // is the php comment code. So, find in the column_right.php file where it calls the best sellers script and put the // on the first of the line. Community Bootstrap Edition, Edge Avoid the most asked question.

keys05 Posted September 5, 2010 Author Posted September 5, 2010 I am new to all of this. How do I find the column_right.php file?
FIMBLE Posted September 6, 2010 Posted September 6, 2010 its is a file in your store, assuming its still in the catalog folder then via Web site Control panel or FTP you will find it catalog >> includes >> colum_right.php this is the one you need to edit If you store is in another folder replace the catalog bit with your own name, if it is not inside a folder "root" then discard the folder name.

Nic Thank you for your help. I found colum_right.php. However, I am having trouble inserting the //. The code looks like this { include(DIR_WS_BOXES . 'best_sellers.php'); and further down there is another code that looks like this } else { include(DIR_WS_BOXES . 'best_sellers.php'); } I tried inserting the slashes and then I hit save. It does not appear to save the changes. Can you show me where to insert the slashes in these codes? Is there anything else I am doing wrong? I really appreciate your help with this.

keys05 Posted September 7, 2010 Author Posted September 7, 2010 Ok, I tried to do that, but when I hit "save", a blank screen comes up and there are a bunch of numbers at the top of the tab of the window. Is there another setting that I need to do to be allowed to make this change? Replace include(DIR_WS_BOXES . 'best_sellers.php'); with //include(DIR_WS_BOXES . 'best_sellers.php');
FIMBLE Posted September 7, 2010 Posted September 7, 2010 how are you editing this file, i mean with what? you should be using FTP not the internal filemanager. Nic Sometimes you're the dog and sometimes the lamp post [/url] My Contributions
keys05 Posted September 7, 2010 Author Posted September 7, 2010 Ok, That's what I am doing wrong. I had someone help me set up the page initally, but they are no longer able to help me. This is why I am a beginner at all of this. Where in the control panel can I find FTP? I tried to follow the suggestions further up in the convo- When I clicked on the "catalog" button, just my merchandise categories came up. Where should I find this FTP? Thank you again for your help!
FIMBLE Posted September 7, 2010 Posted September 7, 2010 Hi Linda an FTP is a program you can download and install to your PC then use it to upload and edit files direct on your server (not as scary as it sounds!) Most use Filezilla (Google it) its free and seems to be ok. Or you can use a built in filemanager that should be in your web site HOSTING control panel, normally called file manager. For calrification, i was refering earlier to the filemanager you will find in your osCommerce ADMIN folder, do not use this) The filemanager i refer to in this post is the one from your Web site HOSTING control panel) nic Sometimes you're the dog and sometimes the lamp post [/url] My Contributions
