biza Posted November 26, 2011 Posted November 26, 2011 Hi there, I'm a newbie in osCommerce. Installed a pre-designed template that has a popular products category or a loopslider. When I went to backend, deleted all the old products, and added new ones, they don't appear in the popular products any more. Are they added automatically, when you click on the actual products ? If so, is there any way to add it yourself? thanks
♥Monika in Germany Posted November 28, 2011 Posted November 28, 2011 this really depends on the template you used. It may be hardcoded for certain product IDS, using a certain categories_id that you do not have any more (adding new categories adds NEW categories_ids), it may be using an internal top 10 from the ordered products, if the database was already filled with test orders or it may be an extra module where you need to select these (not very probable). In any case, your code would need to be evaluated. The templates are great ... if you understand them and can fix them to make them work for you. In many cases though, they create costs for a new shopowner as he cannot change them himself. Which is why most template companies offer template tuning also ;-) ... :-) Monika addicted to writing code ... can't get enough of databases either, LOL! my toolbox: Textpad - Compare and Merge - phpMyAdmin - WS_FTP - Photoshop - How to search the forum Interactive Media Award July 2007 ~ category E-Commerce my advice on the forum is for free, PMs where you send me work are considered consultation which I charge for ...

Its like the developers have hard coded the items to the slider. When I delete an item it messes the slider up and I cant get it to work again.
