Product Listing

[wheel0513]

I am just a newbie at oscmax and I am wondering if anyone could give me some tips. I've installed oscmax and uploaded my innovatory through myphpadmin and no items come up in my new products list on the main page and Im not sure how to fix that. I am also wondering if there is anyway to display my category pics (kinda like the new products, but on top of the page) on the main page.
Any help would be great thanks.

I have two suggestions for your problems.

First, I assume your new products page appears but contains no items. Check the "Products" table and make sure "products_date_added" contains a valid and accurate date. This may correct your first problem.

You can put an image at the top of your catagory pages along with descriptive text the same way you add text and an image for a product. Edit a catagory and toward the bottom of the display you'll see a box for the location of an image and a "browse" button to help you locate the image you want.

Hope this helps.

if you want to place the catagory images on your main page, say just below your horizontal navagation area, you would need to modify main_page.tpl.php. I believe you could modify the table html to display the images across the page. My main_page-tpl.php module has been heavily modified so the exact location to modify is unknown to me - in my version it's around line 128.

I'm not much more experienced than you are and i'm not a pgp programmer - it's been several months since I modified all these things. I hope my explaination makes sense.
