Placing infoboxes on homepage

[innovations]

I'm sure it has been done before; how can you place the info boxes on the home page of a site?

I have the simple template system, and my store is in it's own catalog folder in my site directory. Can anyone tell me how I might put the What's new and bestsellers boxes on the home page of my site?

my site is: http://www.propheticministries.net

Anybody...please?

Thanks msasek, I will give it a shot and let you know what I come up with.

Okay, I have given it a shot and it looks like I am on the right track. However, I am having trouble with the contribution a bit.

When I added the include for the shopping_cart.php, It appears on the page as expected, but it brought with it the what's new box:
http://propheticminsties.net/Demo.php

The What's new box on the left of the page is supposed to be their, but for some reason their is a duplicate on the right side of the page.

I guess I should add that I have narrowed it down to when I placed the shopping cart box on the page, that the what's new box replicated itself. I took the shopping cart box back off and the second what's new box dissappeared. Right now though, the page has both boxes because I want you to take a look at it for me please...

Sorry, but if you could tell me how to get the attachment thing to work, I will attach the file so that you can see the code.

To attach a file to a post, click the Add an Attachment button.

Then browse for the file on your computer by clicking the browse button.

Then type a comment describing what the file is.

Then click the Add Attachment button next to the File Comment box.

Then type your post and click the submit button.

Yeah, that seams easy enough by I had tried it twice but to no avail.

Anyways, I contacted the one who created the contribution and he informed me that all I needed to do was add a little script to clean the buffer

ob_clean();

msasek, I was wondering if you have ever checked out the MaxiDVD loaded install at oscommercesupport.com? There forum is dead-very, very dead! But the install has alot of great contributions. I suggest you take a look (to get some more ideas for the MS2-MAX 1.8 that we are all waiting for).

You cannot attach certain file types.

zip it and attach the zip to be sure it will work. zips are allowed.
