X-Cart forums

[fafbr]

Hi all

Once again, I need your help!!
I am trying to add this mod in my store where I use x cart 4.1.11 version.
I have downloaded post #185 in this thread.
I opened install instructions:

Crude install notes
1) You need to edit {xcart_dir}/skin1/customer/home_main.tpl
Add the following lines before the {else} at bottom of file:
{elseif $main eq "newproducts"}
{include file="customer/main/newproducts.tpl"}

2) Copy newproducts.tpl file to {$xcart_dir}/skin1/customer/main/
example: /xcart/skin1/customer/main/newproducts.tpl

3) Copy newproducts.php file to {xcart_dir}/
example: /xcart/newproducts.php

4) Apply the SQL Language file 'language.sql' into the Patch file section
of the X-cart Admin :: Patch/Upgrade center. Or load via mysql

5) You should now be able to put a link using
<domain_name>/{$xcart_dir}/newproducts.php

You can add the link anywhere (speed bar, href, help section, etc).

================================================== =======================
6.
Edit $xcart_dir/skin1/customer/home_main.php
Find:
{else}
{include file="common_templates.tpl"}
{/if}
Insert BEFORE:
{elseif $main eq "newproducts"}
{include file="customer/main/newproducts.tpl"}

================================================== =======================
7.
Edit $xcart_dir/include/func/func.product.php
FIND (approx line 363):
$fields[] = "$sql_tbl[products].productcode";
$fields[] = "$sql_tbl[products].avail";

Add AFTER:
// newproducts .. needed for quantity to work on newproducts module
$fields[] = "$sql_tbl[products].min_amount";

================================================== =======================
8.
Edit $xcart_dir/newproducts.php
FIND (approx line 14)
Adjust the default number of days to search for new products.
The default is 7 days.

And....... I stopped at step 5 of these instructions.
It is my first experience with x cart; therefore, excuse-me if step 5 may seem obvious to you and makes my doubt seem too silly
Could anyone help me and clarify me better where I should add this link and which is correct location for it ?
Please!!
Thank you all in advance !!

Well, I put my "new products" link in the speed bar. I also added one below "Gift Certificates" in the section that I renamed "Gift Ideas" (I forget what the default title is.."special", I think), but that involves adding code to the template.

Hi Robert

Thank you for your try and help.
But it did not worked.
Only the link .php was displayed in welcome.
Anyway I thank you very much for your attention.
Cheers

Hey Faf,

I don't use this particular free mod, but I use a paid version instead, so I can't really check it out for you, but you must be missing one of the steps...

Especially verify STEP 3:

Copy newproducts.php file to {xcart_dir}/
Example: /store/newproducts.php

And Verify STEP 5:

Edit: store/skin1/customer/home_main.php

{elseif $main eq "newproducts"}
{include file="customer/main/newproducts.tpl"}
{else}
{include file="common_templates.tpl"}
{/if}

Good Luck!

Robert

This free mod allow a link on your site to navigate to the newproducts page. The paid version put the products on your home page
