Remove New Products For Month & Where to Put Javascript

[Twister]

I'd like to remove the New Products For monthname from the main page - I have the infobox turned off for new items (found in an earlier post) but it has no effect. Is there a clear way to do this?

Also, I need to write a javascript validation routine to make sure all three product options have valid entries and that quantity is greater than some number. Can anyone tell me what module(s) is responsible for these screens - it would probably be best to do the check when the confirm (order) button is pushed during checkout (where quantities can still be altered),

Thanks

Funny - when I turn off in the Infobox in the admin "What New" - it does not show up any more.....

Product Attribs checking? As in required?
Maybe this would help or as a starting point: osCommerce: Attribute Sets Plus

And MIN QTY required?

It isn't the box I want to get rid of - that works fine - it's the catalog display of products that stream accross the screen to the right for thousands of pixels! There is a little "more" control that when clicked aligns things just fine 2 by 2 as I want- if that corld be set "on" then hidden I'd be happy!

sorry - the "more control aligns products in a single vertical column - that would wotk fine for my needs if there's a way to set it on and hide it so customers don't mistakenly screw up the page.

Found it - required Attrib: osCommerce: Must Select

I saw the contribution but it isn't what I need - we sell widgets, all sizes colors and shapes - as you check out I don't care how many of which widget styles and colors you buy so long as the total number of widgets in your cart is >= (Integer) - the qty piece is easy - just a single (total) value to test - I just need to know where to find the qty column just prior to checkout (after it can't be changed again) and where to put the javascript function(s).

Not sure what you want here - the display work fine and does not go for 1000 of pixels - it behaves as designed. Check your editing. Your customers can't set or change these options - unless your meaning ADMIN users?

Change the label of the option on the admin side - in MySQL. Change "Product Display Type (Default = 0 or Columns = 1)" and "Number of Columns for product listings"
to
"Don't change these options".....

Sorry about the communication failure. Wish I could send you an image file - That would be better.

When I start up the cart (url = localhost/catalog/index.php) I get "New products for April" and 3 products displayed in a single row (which goes way beyond the 750px size) and naturally pushes the "right" boxes even further to the right way past the logo.

On the same line (table row?) as "New products for April" is a tiny white arrow (text=more). When this arrow is clicked, the heading changes to "new products" and everything falls back into place as it should be - a single column of products as deep as it needs to be That's why I want to eliminate the "new products for (monthname)" code.

Under admin/Product Listing" I have the following settings:
Product Display Type = 1
Number of columns for product listing = 1

The three accross mess reappears each time you navigate to "catalog". Does this help explain the problen?

If you can do a screenshot, you can attach it to this thread...

[jpf]

Mmmm - why not? Attach an image that is. You can attach a file to messages here......

I think the code that is displaying this is:/includes/modules/new_products.php

Or remove you could:

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

From both index_default.tpl.php and index_nested.tpl.php...
