How to get rid of "New Products For Month"??

[Kristine]

I'm really not liking that box and how the heck do I get rid of it?
I've been looking and can't figure out where to comment it out??

*bump* Help!?
I installed a contrib that allows you to customize info boxes seperatly, but of course it does not control that box. I would be happy to just be able to get the background color of the header. I just don't like the way it lines up with the rest of the page. Anyone?

not quite sure what you mean in your second post but if you want to get rid of the box just look in templates/content/index_default.php (assuming you're using an AAMAX version of oscommerce) and comment out the line

<?php include(DIR_WS_MODULES . FILENAME_NEW_PRODUCTS); ?>

ie change to (note the //)

<?php //include(DIR_WS_MODULES . FILENAME_NEW_PRODUCTS); ?>

I think you mean comment out:
<?php include(DIR_WS_MODULES . FILENAME_NEW_PRODUCTS); ?>

by change it to:

<?php // include(DIR_WS_MODULES . FILENAME_NEW_PRODUCTS);
?>
(note the '?>' on a new line)
or
<?php /* include(DIR_WS_MODULES . FILENAME_NEW_PRODUCTS); */ ?>

Good Luck

hmm

I know what you mean, but I find PHP recognises the closing ?> even on the end of a commented line....

Well spank me sam.....

PHP I guess know that but accoring to what I have seen and code that I have used - it normally is not witten that way.

I have allways seen '?>' pushed on to another line or use '/* ... */ ?>'

I stand corrected then. Thanks.

Another thing to add to my list.

I think I only found by accident, and I don't know if it works on all versions

and it's almost certainly bad coding practice, I guess other languages don't work like that. But PHP is very forgiving of things like that, for better or worse....

I have been busitng my brain trying to figure it out. The above posts did the trick.

For the newbies (and I am not that so far from that), the files located inside the catalog/templates/content/ directory are index_nested.tpl.php and index_default.tpl.php

I was making the mistake of using an HTML comment <!--   --> on the <TR></TR> sections, instead of the /*   */ comment within the <?php include. . . . ?>.

Thanks! Now on to bigger and better things . . . .
