Removing new products from main page, inserting text + image

[2ndchancenetwork]

Hi all,

 

I'm wondering how I can remove the new products listing, and insert text, aswell as an image.

I read a similar post about this issue (http://www.oscommerce.com/forums/topic/238796-how-to-remove-new-products-for-november/) but they seemed to have a much earlier version running and I can't find the lines they talked about (I guess this is because it was an earlier version)

I am running OScommerce v 2.3.3

 

In addition, I am wondering:

* how I can add text to the contact page

* how I can remove the double category subdivision names (to just one name) on the pages that have subcategories

* how I can remove the new product listing on the pages that have subcategories

 

I marked everything in the images in annex.

 

Sincerely,

George

What you ask for is not too difficult but very basic, why don't you first go through the basics for design 2.3 and 2.2 threads (in poster signature), you'll pick up a lot from this.

the 2.2 thread will have explanation on where to find particular texts

We found the FILENAME_NEW_PRODUCTS entry at the catalog/index.php file. We added comment tags and the welcome page is thus now done.

 

The double subcats are gone as well (as we integrated images for the subcategories).

 

For the FILENAME_NEW_PRODUCTS matter: although it is removed from the welcome page, it is still an issue at the subcats pages (

http://offgridstores.com/index.php?cPath=22

and

http://offgridstores.com/index.php?cPath=28 )

 

We were hoping someone knows how to add comment tags for these, hereby removing the new products from these pages as well. (Please mention specific file to alter and location of the appropriate FILENAME_NEW_PRODUCTS tag in these files.

 

We would also need to place a text below the subcats at the energy page (http://offgridstores.com/index.php?cPath=22 ), so at the same place where the "new products" currently are. Again, specify which file to alter and what tag needs to be edited in this file.

 

Finally, the "Privacy Notice" link text would need to be changed to "Payment and privacy". We are not sure how to do this neither.

Have a search through your index.php file to find both entries for FILENAME_NEW_PRODUCTS. Just comment them both out. I believe that you have done one of them and not the other.

 

The privacy notice text should be defined in your includes/languages/english/modules/boxes/bm_information.php

 

I hope this helps with a few of your requirements.

Thanks 14steve14

I did the changes. It solved a lot of issues.

 

The only thing what still needs to be done is the placement of a text below the subcats at the energy page (http://offgridstores.com/index.php?cPath=22 ) Again, specify which file to alter and what tag needs to be edited in this file.

 

In case it can't be done (without ie changing all pages with subcategories), do you have any thoughts were to place the text ?

 

Also, do you know how to remove the "What's new" box at all of the pages (see any page, at the left, a bit to the bottom)

 

Thanks in advance

George

I found how to remove the what's new box (appearantly it was under modules -- boxes in the admin panel). Found that at http://www.oscommerce.com/forums/topic/367912-basics-for-design-v23/

So, just the issue on how to add text at the energy page remains

To add different text to all category and sub category pages I use the headertags_seo mod. It does so much more that just add text, as it also allows you to add all types of meta tags and much more. Have a look here http://addons.oscommerce.com/info/5851. The addon is very well supported by the creator.

Thanks Steve,

 

We solved it using a simpler way however, by just changing the texts of the additional pages and putting the text in there.

 

Texts were changed to:

 

Payment & shipping

Privacy & miscellaneous

About & conditions

 

I think this concludes everything.

Again, my thanks to Steve and Carine
