Has anyone tried to add this newest products function to Version 3.3 of X-cart? I can't get it to work on the newer version. Also, how would one plug this function into another page?

Hi,

Got it working on 3.3.3 and 3.3.4 and 3.3.5

Can you post the code that you are using or the errors that you are getting?

How to creat Php files??
 

HI,
well this may be a stupid question but I need answer, How to create a new php file?? and for tpl, I have to just go to customer and put newest.tpl in new and create file right????


Thanks.

You need to do it with a text editor then upload the file using ftp to the directory specified. Not possible through the admin centre.

ok
 

ok.

So I can use wordpad or microsoft work and paste the code from the top and save file as specials.tpl and upload it through administration area like I have to in customer file area, Right?

Thanks.

if you are creating a php file it should be specials.php

ok
 

so it will be specials.php

than i will go to my ftp account
and upload this file

Or do I need any specific directory to define?


I am using version 3.4.0

Sorry for questions, but I never done this before.
Thanks :D

ok
 

ok I have tried everything and I dont know what happened wrong but you can see here, it does not show anything

Version is 3.4.0

thanks

possible alternate page?
 

Having the newly added items is nice, but it seems to clutter up the main page especially if there are already some featured items already showing.

How about having a seperate menu selection in either the category or help menu or a custom menu to allow the customer to click on the "NEW" item button, and then it would display just the new items with the newest query.

I'll take a look into it of it's not already been done. :wink:

Agreed :)

Put together a few mods recently where the newest products are on a new page complete with navigation and clickable links to show the newest in the last week, two week, month etc. Then link tothis from the home page menu as you describe.
