Michael-

I did this osCommerce mod but got an error:
Warning: require(includes/header.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /hsphere/local/home/soundapp/soundapproach.com/catalog/recently_viewed.php on line 138 Fatal error: require(): Failed opening required 'includes/header.php' (include_path='.:/hsphere/shared/apache/libexec/php5ext/php/') in /hsphere/local/home/soundapp/soundapproach.com/catalog/recently_viewed.php on line 138

I know that osCMax does not use header.php and changed the line 138 to read:

<?php require(DIR_WS_CATALOG . 'templates/fallback/main_page.tpl.php'); ?>

-- I am using the Fallback template, but still get an error. What were you able to do to make the Contrib work?

Thanks, and appreciate the help.

Dranoel,

I've actually downloaded this contribution and, with a few modifications, was able to get it to work... I'm not sure if it's appropriate that I post instructions here, or on the addons site as it is not oscommerce-related. For now I posted a detailed tutorial on how to get this done on my blog: http://oscommerce-tips.blogspot.com/. If you can suggest any other place where I should include this please let me know.

Hope it helps!
