HELP! can't view orders + need to add to left column

[n00ner]

(new to osCommerce)

 

• 
   
  
• I used a template for my site. In Admin, I can see my customers fine and products viewed, but nothing shows for orders. It just shows "Displaying 0 to 0 (of 0 products)" when I click on Orders. What could be my problem??

• Also, how to I add something on my left column on the same level as categories? I can modify the current Categories and Products just fine, but I'm looking to add a link on the same level as Categories (it will be a link to a gallery showcase of some products). Here's what my left column looks like now:

• I figured it's something in includes/column_left.php but I'm not familiar with the code so...
  

 

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Are there any orders to display?

 

In non-templated shops you can add code to /includes/column_left.php.

 

There is information on how to do this in the documentation in the install directory or is for rc2a.

Yes a couple orders.

There was some sample data that came with the template which I cleared out, but nothing new shows. The customer info updates fine.

The only payment method I have up right now is Paypal (the first regular Paypal option (not the others, Express, Standard, etc). Any chance that's an issue?? When I got the order, I could not actually tell what they ordered because there was no notification on the Paypal email (another issue I have!) I'm delaying advertising the site until I can fix this because I don't want to have to email the customer to ask what they bought).
