Display main product on page

[Guest]

Hi, I'm wondering how I can display a product on the main page. I notice that this page:

http://asset-protect...t.com/index.php

 

Just adding a snapshot in case the main page gets update to help others who may have a similar problem:

http://tutorialref.com/images/oscommerce-new-products-month.png

 

has a "New Products For [the month]" but I want a product of that I choose to always be displayed rather than just for the month.

 

Sorry, it's a bit of a newbie question. Thank you for your help.

Have you had a look at the specials section in your shop admin?

You can easily create a php file with plain html in it to contain your single product. Just make it all inside of a 100% width table.

Then, in your index.php file, in the // default page area, find a good spot to call your new file. Use the form,

include('your.php');

 

A little trial and error and you can locate your new "box" just where you want it.

Yeah, I looked in my specials section. That seem to only appear in the left column. I'd like it to display in the main part of the body (the centre) section.

 

I think I'll have to try mdtaylorlrim ideas. I'm still learning so I'll try playing around with it. If there is an easier way please let me know.

Are there any tutorials on how to do this?

Have you tried searching for specials under add-ons?

 

8 pages of them.

 

Have a look at http://addons.oscommerce.com/info/7142

If that wasn't enough for you then you need to use a contribution that has word for word instructions on how to do things. Use a specials add-on and only have one special. It's like using a tank to kill a mosquito but some day you may have an appropriate use for the tank.

The first site you linked to has a problem.

 

Visit the link below:

 

How to Secure Your Site

 

Pay close attention to "SECURING THE ADMIN" - Yours is vulnerable.

 

It's easier to do a few security fixes now than to clean up a hacked store later.

 

And if you don't secure the admin your shop will be hacked.

 

It's just a question of when...
