charmg Posted April 5, 2003 Share Posted April 5, 2003 I have three questions: 1. How do I remove some of the boxes on the left and right-hand side of the software? 2. Is there a way to arrange the products by rows instead of columns in the product listing pages? 3. How do I remove the headings like "What's new here?" Guys, thanks so much for your help in advance! Thanks, Rob OsCommerce Newbie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moyashi Posted April 5, 2003 Share Posted April 5, 2003 #1 edit the column_left and column_right files located in includes. #2 hmmm, search in the contributions ... possibly if not look at code and just comment out the html parts that you don't like. #3 edit each file in inlcudes/boxes and what off the first part of the call that calls info_box. In other words a real pain in the A.r.s.e to do. I'm sure this isn't exactly what you're hoping for but it should point you in the right direction. also for #1 there's a column contrib that lets you move the boxes around a bit. Pretty intricate since the contrib author only inlcudes code for the left column while he/she does include code for the right side but leaves it up to you do work it out.

charmg Posted April 5, 2003 Author Share Posted April 5, 2003 I looked in the column_right and _left files. I couldn't find any code that would completely remove the boxes. Can you show me the lines of code? Thanks in advance! OsCommerce Newbie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moyashi Posted April 5, 2003 Share Posted April 5, 2003 You have to edit "each file" in includes/boxes/blahblah.php Maybe about 15 or so .... Not in columnright/left. columns_right/left is just for placing the boxes on your pages.

networkdad Posted April 6, 2003 Share Posted April 6, 2003 That is fantastic! Thanks you guys! I still can't find where to remove the "What's new here?" and "Lets see what we have here." headings. Which files are these in? Thanks in advance guys! Look in the file /catalog/includes/languages/english.php (or whatever language you are using) You'll find most text headings listed in there...just doa search for What's New in the file...
