Guest Posted January 9, 2004 Share Posted January 9, 2004 Hi all, Had posted earlier and received one reply but couldn't manage to incorporate that contribution to achieve my goal. Does anybody know if it's possible to amalgamate everything so that basically all the products and But It Now buttons are all on one page? This is a very small store with fewer than 15 products. We would like to be able to view all items on one page and add to the cart from the same page. The items can individually link to a product info page but if the customer wants to they should be able to purchase everything from the same page without clicking to another. Can anyone help with this? Many thanks in advance :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 9, 2004 Share Posted January 9, 2004 An easy way to do this is to install this contribution: http://www.oscommerce.com/community/contributions,651 Change the word "Featured" at the top of the box to something like "Products" or nothing at all, or just remove the infobox all together so the products display without the box and then add a "Buy Now" button onto the products. If you need the little snippet to add the buttons let me know and I will post it here. To give you an idea CLICK HERE You can also remove the small categories box etc. from the left column if you do not need it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 9, 2004 Share Posted January 9, 2004 Yes! That's perfect!! If you would be so kind as to post the snippets for the buttons that would be great! What other changes need to be made to the code to get it to work? Is installing the contribution the only change required? Many thanks!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 9, 2004 Share Posted January 9, 2004 I'm trying to install the Featured Products contribution and am stuck. I don't understand this * Add the following lines into /admin/includes/application_top.php, each line at the appropriate place in the file, TABLE_* going with the other TABLE_* define lines, etc. define('FILENAME_FEATURED', 'featured.php'); define('TABLE_FEATURED', 'featured'); Can someone please clarify? Thanks. I'm just not sure what I'm supposed to be doing here. Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 9, 2004 Share Posted January 9, 2004 JB: OK. Everything installed and it looks like it's working. The only remaining things are: 1. How to remove the infobox and just have the products on the main page? 2. Code snippets for Buy Now buttons I really appreciate all your help! Cheers.

Guest Posted January 9, 2004 Share Posted January 9, 2004 I removed the right column. I just have to figure out how to change the bar on the top of the boxes to match the left column :) Aside from that I would like to remove the box surrounding the products in the middles and add the Buy Now buttons. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted January 9, 2004 Share Posted January 9, 2004 If you look further up in this thread JB had posted a link to a page similar to what I"m trying to achieve. The only difference really is that I would like to remove the box that surrounds the products. Hope that makes sense. Here's the page link again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
241 Posted January 9, 2004 Share Posted January 9, 2004 Ok I will butt out and leave you in the hands of JB, but will leave you this it looks like you are using bestseller which is controlled by catalog/includes/boxes/best_sellers the heading is controlled by one part of the array and the body by another No longer giving free advice.

Guest Posted January 9, 2004 Share Posted January 9, 2004 No no...all help is appreciated :) I think that the example JB posted was just for an overall example of what I wanted the page to look like. Basically this is the situation...I have only 13 products and want them all listed on the index page along with Buy Now buttons. I didn't know how to achieve this and JB suggested that I use the Featured Products contribution which replaces the What's New box. So, I did that, the products are now showing up on the index page but I would like to know how to remove the box that surrrounds all the products so it looks like the products are part of the index page. I would also like to know how to add the Buy Now buttons for each product. Finally, if there is any other solution I'd be more than happy to give it a try. Ideally if there was a way to simply have the products show up on the index page without using a contribution that would have been good but I guess the difficulty there would have been all the recoding? All help/suggestions are very welcome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
