How to Remove "New Products for [June]"

[FoxyMop]

I've found other posts that describe how to comment out the "New Products for [month]" but they all refer to a default.php file, of which I do not have.

 

a) Am I supposed to have a default.php file and where would it be located? ('cause I can't find it!)

 

B) How do I remove the "New Products for [month]" and it's corresponding box from the home page?

 

 

Thank you! :)

index.php toward the enf of file and i think also in the middle of file in two diffrent places if i remmember right

default.php was used in earlier versions of oscommerce and has now been replaced by index.php so follow the instructions.

 

This box is used for more than one thing but to completely remove the box

 

it is the new products box catalog/index.php

 

catalog/index.php

 

Try looking for this around line 121

 

<td><?php include(DIR_WS_MODULES . FILENAME_NEW_PRODUCTS); ?></td>

change to this

<td><?php //include(DIR_WS_MODULES . FILENAME_NEW_PRODUCTS); ?></td>

 

This around line 280 (for product list)

 

<td><?php include(DIR_WS_MODULES . FILENAME_PRODUCT_LISTING); ?></td>

change to this

<td><?php //include(DIR_WS_MODULES . FILENAME_PRODUCT_LISTING); ?></td>

 

This around line 313

 

<td><?php include(DIR_WS_MODULES . FILENAME_NEW_PRODUCTS); ?></td>

change to this

<td><?php //include(DIR_WS_MODULES . FILENAME_NEW_PRODUCTS); ?></td>

 

This around line 316 ( for upcoming products)

 

<?php
   include(DIR_WS_MODULES . FILENAME_UPCOMING_PRODUCTS);
?>

change to this

<?php
  // include(DIR_WS_MODULES . FILENAME_UPCOMING_PRODUCTS);
?>

Do not comment out the code on line 280. If you do so, you will not get any listings on your page :-)

:lol: I think you should try using text editor like EditPlus /*--this's an example - not a commercial ads--*/ that has an ability to search through recursively into folder and search for specific text in many files.

 

Paired your work environtment with /*again, it's not a commercial ads*/ diff software such as Compare It! who comparing two file easily.

 

Those software, won't help much in categorizing tags, variable, function in *.php files. So, :lol: again... not a commerci...yea y'knaww :lol: consider use PHPEdit for this purpose.

 

Then, working in localhost using web-trilogy Apache-PHP-MySQL or simply use PHPTriad. Don't forget to download MySQL connector in mySQL site - so just in case you need to work in Microsoft Style.

 

And the last but not least. Zeos Database Explorer.

There!

 

I use them and feel happy with then. osCommerce is a matter of fun.

the "new products for" it's an useful table, but in my opinion 9 products listed are too much. how to remove the last line and display only 6 products? tnx
