I Need "Add to Cart" or "Buy Now" Buttons on Main Home Page?

[lithband]

Hey guys.... i have been searching the forums here for awhile and have not found an easy way of getting "Add to Cart" or "Buy Now" to display on the products in the main home page like they do when you browse in the categories. Maybe someone knows how to do this or has a thread that has already explained it..

BTW im am using OSCMax 2.0.3

lithband,

When you say on the "main home page" - do you mean in the specials and new products for x month boxes? If so you can copy the link code from also_purchased file - change the query string in [ ]s to the one from the infobox in question ...

If this doesn't make sense - post back and I will see if I can dig out the exact code for you.

Regards,

If you just want to move products to that page, just copy the category picture and BUY button and paste the code into the home page, like this,

You may want to remove the session code. Good luck.

Hey thanks for the reply's! On my index page i have changed the specials and new products to pull random products from my store.
Replace New Products with Random Products on the index page

BUT what i am needing on the index page is for each products to display a buynow or add to cart button. Currently it just has Picture - Link(Title)- Price..... I would like an add to cart below the price much like how they are displayed in the "categories" when browsing through them

Hey guys sorry for the delay. I posted a replay a few days ago but for some reason it did not post- Here is basically what it said-

I am looking to add Buy now or add to cart button on my MAIN homepage to the products. I have update the front end of the script with this-
Replace New Products with Random Products on the index page

So instead of showing "new Products" and specials it shows a random set of products.

Right now the products on the index page are displayed like this-
Image
Products Name
Price

I would like them to be-
Image
Products Name
Price
Buy Now or Add to cart button(like how they are when browsing through the categories)

Im just not sure what file to edit or what code to add...

Thanks everyone

[lithband]

anyone have any ideas?

You need to edit includes/modules/new_products.php and default_specials.php.

This does feed back to a point I have made in other threads a few times - I find it strange that both the new_products and specials uses totally different code from the product_listing_cols.php.

Anyway - these are files you need to edit ... I tried to do it myself to test out but I am unable to add anything to the end of to the $box_content[$row][$col] without it crashing ...

NOt sure what I am doing wrong ... I will have another go tomorrow.

Open the file catalog/includes/modules/new_products.php
go to the line

$box_content[$row][$col] = array(

go to 'text' =>
and just add the following line , the place where you need to get the 'Buy Now' button

"<a href="' . tep_href_link(basename($PHP_SELF), tep_get_all_get_params(array('action')) . 'action=buy_now&products_id=' . $new_products[$x]["products_id"]) . '">' . tep_image_button('button_buy_now.gif', IMAGE_BUTTON_BUY_NOW) . '</a>"
