Feel like an idot, but toally new....

I just created the site today, working on getting all my catagories and productes in. Two super basic questions I cant figure out.

 

Currently on the index page it has "New Products for October" but I would like those to be just "Products" and to show all my product groups. Is there a way to change this to show what I want?

 

I also downloaded the "Quantity Price Breaks Per Product" module. I see the sql file, but no idea where to "place" or "upload" this file to? I am new to SQL so very sorry for the newbie question. Playing and trying to learn fast

 

Thanks

1) Look a the Browse by Category contribution

 

2) The SQL file is executed using PHPMYADMIN in your hosting account control panel. That SQL statement will change your database structure and likely insert some default values. It is always a good idea to EXPORT a copy of the database before running SQL statements.

Thanks, I figured out how to import them, and when I go to my osCommerce admin page they both show up at the bottom under "Configuration". When I go to my page though it still has the "New Products for October". Also when I go to edit my product it still has only one available value for price.

 

Do I have to do anything else once I import them? Thanks again! The importing part was really easy once I knew to look at my hosting service to find it.

Lets separate the issues, the new products and SPPC, they are different

 

1) SPPC (separate pricing): There is more to do than just to import an sql file, there are several files that you need to modify manually, check the file with installation instructions.

 

2) For new products, did you try the suggested addon?

Thanks, I did try to suggested addon and installed it and did the few lines up updating (I think I did it correct). It showed the products by category now!!! but also under it still shows the "new products" need to figure out how to remove that.

 

Extremely confused how to get the quantity discount to work. it looks like you need to edit 100+ lines in multiple files?? Is that pretty common.

 

This seems to be a bit more complicated then I thought. I just wanted to make a site with 20 or so items with multiple pricing for each item depending on quantity.

 

Thanks for all the help!!

The number of lines you need to edit will depend on the contribution

If you only have a few items you could use product attributes to sell in defined quantities. Failing that, a major code change is required. If your store is new, with no, or very few mods, why not replace the whole pages with the new ones supplied, and then add your other addons again, thats what i did when starting a new store.( this was learned through previous experience though)
