Thanks James. Great work.

Followed the instruction but couldn't get the day to show up...here's my web: http://www.petadorn.com/store/newproducts.php

Had any one tried this yet? Was something that I did wrong or?

Thanks for the great work,

It looks like the labels from the languages.sql file aren't getting loaded. I am not sure about all the different language settings.

Try adding your "Labels" and "Text" manually to the languages in the admin panel.

It looks like from your site that the label for "New Products" got added but the rest did not. Try adding a couple of labels and test it. You should see if you are getting any results.

Magic!!! Thank you sooo much James, I think you've got a magic wand in your hand!
Right now the only thing is the [i]lbl_newproducts_since
I've got an error message says: The label for language selected is invalid. Please select another label.

I'm almost there! :lol:

Take the "[i]" off the label name. It was used as emphasis for this listing it to this forum. I guess I went a little crazy with them.

The label name should be:

lbl_newproducts_since

The value is the same as before.

GREAT Job James!! :D
This is about the first mod that installed without having to tweak this or that.
Come to think about it, it was rather boring. Just copy, paste, save, upload, patch...enjoy! :wink:

Well... I did have to make 1 tweak.
I noticed the "Manufacturers" menu wasn't showing, so...
In "newproducts.php" just below:

Code:

require "./auth.php";



require $xcart_dir."/include/categories.php";

I added:

Code:

if ($active_modules["Manufacturers"])

    include $xcart_dir."/modules/Manufacturers/customer_manufacturers.php";

Now this may not be the correct way to do it, but it seems to work okay in 4.12 & 4.15.

Great mod works great

Have a problem
I have put the link in the cartegories tpl

{section name=cat_num loop=$categories}
{if $categories[cat_num].order_by eq 20 ||
$categories[cat_num].order_by eq 100}

<div class="VertMenuItems1">New Products</div>
<hr>

I have the categories separated with a <hr>
the link shows in both areas of the category

Any suggestions how to only show the link in the top part of the categories

I saw the same thing earlier and had already updated mine. Since it was my first xcart mod I stripped the code down to the minimum and rebuilt it to learn. I forgot to add the manufacturers reference that back in the code I posted. Oops.

I have gotten a lot of help from reading the forum. So, I thought it was time to give something back :-)
