Star product doesn't work

[drumlegend]

I have been racking my head around this for 4 hours now and I am still struggling to get it working,

 

I have attached an image of what the table looks like, it seems to show no data at all for some reason.

 

 

There is information on the website which I have attached as an image as well.

 

 

I have attempted following the tutorial 3 times now and it still isn't displaying correctly.

 

Also, it has messed the formatting of the side bar on this page for some reason.

 

Any help would be great and I would really appreciate it.

 

If there is any for information you need about it then please let me know.

Is this "Star Product" an add-on? Which one? How does it differ from a "Featured Product"?

Star product is an add on and it displays in a banner in the centre of the screen, it's easily to edit what goes in there.

http://addons.oscommerce.com/info/2255 or 7833, or some other one? Do you have the right one for your osC version?

7833 (pimped) My boss wants it on the website but it doesn't seem to display. I tried a fresh install of oscommerce today and still no luck. I am using 2.3.3

Step 5 of the instructions reads like so:

 

5.- OPEN file:

 

/catalog/index.php

 

FIND:

 

include(DIR_WS_MODULES . FILENAME_NEW_PRODUCTS);

 

 

 

ADD ABOVE this lines:

 

// STAR PRODUCT PIMPED START...

if (SHOW_STARPRODUCT=="true") {

include(DIR_WS_MODULES . FILENAME_STAR_PRODUCT); }

// STAR PRODUCT PIMPED END...

 

So this is what I pasted in my code:

 

 

<?php 

if (SHOW_STARPRODUCT=="true") {
   include(DIR_WS_MODULES . FILENAME_STAR_PRODUCT); }
// STAR PRODUCT PIMPED END...
?>
<?php
include(DIR_WS_MODULES . FILENAME_NEW_PRODUCTS);
// STAR PRODUCT PIMPED START...
if (SHOW_STARPRODUCT=="true") {
   include(DIR_WS_MODULES . FILENAME_STAR_PRODUCT); }
// STAR PRODUCT PIMPED END...?>
</div>
</div>

 

could that be wrong?

I'm an idiot, I found the problem.

 

There was another include(DIR_WS_MODULES . FILENAME_NEW_PRODUCTS);

further down the page. I placed it above that and it worked!
