Try this:

add in customer/home_main.tpl

Code:

{elseif $main eq "newest"}

{include file="customer/main/newest.tpl"}

in newest.php

at the beginning add

Code:

require "./auth.php";

and at the end:

Code:

$smarty->assign("main","newest"); 

$smarty->display("customer/home.tpl");

do not forget to remove

Code:

require "./newest.php";

from home.php

now try to run http://www.domain.com/store/newest.php
Should work if I did not miss something :wink:

Or just order this mod here:
http://www.shopping-carts-upgrades.com/Newest-Products-Added-p-91.html

and we'll set it up this way.

Not working newest.php

I have created the newest.php and do the modifications indicated, but I can not see the new products...

i've tried to lok for a solution to this problem on my own but i'm not a sql guy... i need in my first page a newest products modules except it has to be on 3 columns and each column is a different category.
I think i know how it would work : each column is displayed like in the store and using the add_date we can narrow it down to say 5 or 10 products ordered by add_date. Can you guys help me out ?
Thanks in advance !

I would be very interested in the ^ as well... Can anyone help out with this for the x-cart generation 4?

(wonderes why this is not default in x-cart....)

Seems this mod is not working in 4.0.8
I get an error saying
Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_USE in /home/www/www/pcdoktorn/newest.php on line 27

is it working in 4.0.9

Thanks

Cant get it to work on x-cart 4.09 :(

This works ok http://www.shisha.co.uk/shopcart/newest.php
but when i use http://www.shisha.co.uk/shopcart/home.php

I get the NEW blue bar at the bottom but no products :(

Any ideas, i have followed the postings, but cant find the problem.

I Know that the code for x-cart 4.09 in shopcart/skin1/customer/main/welcome.tpl is working fine

Code:

{* $Id: welcome.tpl,v 1.23 2004/05/28 12:21:00 max Exp $ *}

<TABLE border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%">

<TD height="19" class="WelcomeTitle" background="{$ImagesDir}/custom/welcome_title_bottom_bg.gif" valign="top">

{if ($active_modules.Greet_Visitor ne "") AND ($smarty.cookies.GreetingCookie ne "")}

{$lng.lbl_welcome_back}, {$smarty.cookies.GreetingCookie|replace:"\'":"'"}

{else}

{$lng.lbl_welcome_to} { $config.Company.company_name }

{/if}

{*capture name=dialog}

{$lng.txt_welcome}

{/capture}

{if ($active_modules.Greet_Visitor ne "") AND ($smarty.cookies.GreetingCookie ne "")}

{include file="dialog.tpl" title="`$lng.lbl_welcome_back`, `$smarty.cookies.GreetingCookie`" content=$smarty.capture.dialog extra="width=100%" dialog_box_color="_orange"}

{else}

{include file="dialog.tpl" title="`$lng.lbl_welcome_to` `$config.Company.company_name`" content=$smarty.capture.dialog extra="width=100%" dialog_box_color="_orange"}

{/if*}

{if $active_modules.Bestsellers ne "" and $config.Modules.bestsellers_menu ne "Y"}

{include file="modules/Bestsellers/bestsellers.tpl"}

{/if}

{include file="customer/main/featured.tpl" f_products=$f_products dialog_title_color="_orange"}





 

{include file="customer/main/newest.tpl" newproducts=$newproducts dialog_title_color="_orange"}

I know that the shopcart/newest.php works fine.

So all i need to check now is the:
shopcart/home.php modification
shopcart/skin1/customer/home_main.tpl modification
shopcart/skin1/customer/main/newest.tpl modification

Also checked the shopcart/skin1/customer/home_main.tpl (x-cart 4.09)

And that is OK

Code:

{if $smarty.get.mode eq "subscribed"}

{include file="main/subscribe_confirmation.tpl"}



{elseif $smarty.get.mode eq "unsubscribed"}

{include file="main/unsubscribe_confirmation.tpl"}



{elseif $main eq "returns"}

{include file="modules/RMA/returns.tpl"}



{elseif $main eq "register"}

{include file="customer/main/register.tpl"}



{elseif $main eq "download"}

{include file="modules/Egoods/main.tpl"}



{elseif $main eq "send_to_friend"}

{include file="customer/main/send_to_friend.tpl"}



{elseif $main eq "pages"}

{include file="customer/main/pages.tpl"}



{elseif $main eq "manufacturers_list"}

{include file="modules/Manufacturers/customer_manufacturers_list.tpl"}



{elseif $main eq "manufacturer_products"}

{include file="modules/Manufacturers/customer_manufacturer_products.tpl"}



{elseif $main eq "search"}

{include file="customer/main/search_result.tpl"}



{elseif $main eq "advanced_search"}

{include file="customer/main/search_result.tpl"}



{elseif $main eq "cart"}

{include file="customer/main/cart.tpl"}



{elseif $main eq "comparison" && $active_modules.Feature_Comparison ne ''}

{include file="modules/Feature_Comparison/comparison.tpl"}



{elseif $main eq "choosing" && $active_modules.Feature_Comparison ne ''}

{include file="modules/Feature_Comparison/choosing.tpl"}



{elseif $main eq "wishlist"}

{if $active_modules.Wishlist ne ""}

{include file="modules/Wishlist/wishlist.tpl"}

{/if}



{elseif $main eq "anonymous_checkout"}

{include file="customer/main/anonymous_checkout.tpl"}



{elseif $main eq "order_message"}

{include file="customer/main/order_message.tpl"}



{elseif $main eq "checkout"}

{include file="customer/main/checkout.tpl"}



{elseif $main eq "product"}

{include file="customer/main/product.tpl" product=$product}



{elseif $main eq "giftcert"}

{include file="modules/Gift_Certificates/giftcert.tpl"}



{elseif $main eq "subscriptions"}

{include file="modules/Subscriptions/subscriptions.tpl"}



{elseif $main eq "catalog" and $current_category.category eq ""}

{include file="customer/main/welcome.tpl" f_products=$f_products}



{elseif $main eq "catalog"}

{include file="customer/main/subcategories.tpl" cat=$cat}



{elseif $active_modules.Gift_Registry ne "" and $main eq "giftreg"}

{include file="modules/Gift_Registry/giftreg_common.tpl"}



{elseif $main eq "product_configurator"}

{include file="modules/Product_Configurator/pconf_common.tpl"}



{elseif $main eq "secure_login_form"}

{include file="customer/main/secure_login_form.tpl"}



{elseif $main eq "news_archive"}

{include file="modules/News_Management/news_archive.tpl"}



{elseif $main eq "change_password"}

{include file="customer/main/change_password.tpl"}



{elseif $main eq "customer_offers"}

{include file="modules/Special_Offers/customer/offers.tpl"}



{elseif $main eq "customer_bonuses"}

{include file="modules/Special_Offers/customer/bonuses.tpl"}



{elseif $main eq "newest"} 

{include file="customer/main/newest.tpl"} 



{else}

{include file="common_templates.tpl"}

{include file="customer/main/welcome.tpl" f_products=$f_products newproducts=$newproducts}



{/if}

Also checked shopcart/skin1/customer/main/newest.tpl (x-cart 4.09)

And this is ok, so its got to be something in the shopcart/home.php file

Code:

{* $Id: newest.tpl,v 1.13 2002/05/20 06:55:20 lucky Exp $ *} 

{capture name=dialog} 

{if $newproducts ne ""} 

{include file="customer/main/products.tpl" products=$newproducts featured="Y"}

{else} 

{$lng.txt_no_new} 

{/if} 

{/capture} 

{include file="dialog.tpl" title=$lng.lbl_new_products content=$smarty.capture.dialog extra="width=100%"}

First of all
thanks for the great mod!
I installed it yesterday and runs pretty well both as a welcome page and as a newest.php linkeable page.
I'm interested in being able to show the result of newest products in several pages.
I know I need to do something related with the products_per_page variable but don't know how or where.
Here is my newest.tpl code:

Code:

{* $Id: newest.tpl,v 1.13 2002/05/20 06:55:20 lucky Exp $ *} 

{*sцЁlo si el template es llamado desde newest_display.php muestra la barra location*}

{if $main eq "newest"}

{include file="location.tpl" last_location=$lng.lbl_new_products}

{/if}

{capture name=dialog} 

{if $newproducts ne ""} 

{include file="customer/main/products.tpl" products=$newproducts} 

{else} 

{$lng.txt_no_new} 

{/if} 

{/capture} 

{include file="dialog.tpl" title=$lng.lbl_new_products content=$smarty.capture.dialog extra="width=100%"}

And here is my newest_display.php code:

Code:

<? 

//para que pueda presentarse sola

require "./auth.php";

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

if (!empty($cat)) 

        require "./products.php"; 

// set variables 

$daterange = 9000000; // (60*60*24=86400)*(nц╨mero de dц╜as) ej. 7 dц╜as = 86400*7 = 604800 unix time 

$nowtime = time(); 

$oldtime = $nowtime - $daterange ; 



// the database query 

$query = "SELECT * FROM $sql_tbl[products],$sql_tbl[pricing] WHERE forsale='Y' AND avail>0 AND $sql_tbl[products].productid=$sql_tbl[pricing].productid AND add_date > " . $oldtime . " AND add_date < " . $nowtime . " ORDER BY xcart_products.productID DESC LIMIT 0,12 "; 

// change the LIMIT 0,x above to indicate max number of items



// give the product array to smarty to make it available sitewide. 

$newproducts = func_query($query); 

$smarty->assign("newproducts",$newproducts); 

//para que pueda presentarse sola

$smarty->assign("main","newest"); 

$smarty->display("customer/home.tpl");

?>

Any ideas?
Thanks in advance.
