Adding include side box that will display dynamic content

[lupercal]

I wish to add a news archive to my copy of OS commerce.

I have added a news table to the DB.

I have created a record upload page

And a record display page,

I wish to create a box on the right-hand- side of every page and link to the 5 latest news articles from it.

I have created a file

This files works ok on its own.

But this file will not display as an include from the default.php page.

What must I do to fix this?

easy
step 1) rename a copy of information.php in catalog/includes/boxes to news.php or whatever you like.
step 2) edit this new file to your required specifications
step 3) add this to column_right.php

require(DIR_WS_BOXES . 'news.php');


hope this helps,
