BTS Instruction Manual

Nevermind, just saw...

This tutorial is only for BTS in osCMax v1.7. The new BTS version in osCMax2 is much more streamlined.

Pays to read the instructions first! Whew! Okay...Off to find lesson #2...

I would say this is the third time I have needed to find this post, and it has never been easy, Guess that the fact that it is hidden on the 1.7 forums makes it harder for me, since I already started with OSCMAX 2, and it is always there where I look first.

This has served its purpose one more time, but is there any other guide like this a bit more updated?

There is current documentation for osCMax v2.0 here:
bts_docs [osCMax and osCommerce documentation]

Also, for any thread that you reference often, you can always subscribe it, then it will always be linked from your user control panel. Or you could just bookmark it in your browser.

Hopefully the fourth time I need this thread I will remember to go to my profile, search all posts thanked by me, and find it faster

To take things a little further, how does one modify the HTML header information displayed in "New Products for August" located in the mid/bottom section of the homepage. All I see as far as what to modify is...

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

located on the index_default.tpl.php page and in the filename.php....

  define('FILENAME_NEW_PRODUCTS', CONTENT_NEW_PRODUCTS . '.php');

The source code that shows the tiny arrow link within this box is what i'm after. But niether index_default.tpl.php or CONTENT_NEW_PRODUCTS does not direct me to any HTML source code for that specific region.

thanks

Blackhawk,

Look in catalog/includes/boxes/whats_new.php for the code for the infobox.

If you look in this folder you will find the HTML for all of infoboxes.

To change the text - look in the language files ...

Hope this helps,

Thank you pgmarshall - Your advice worked. This particular section of the site put a spin on things as it not built the same way that other boxes are built or called (i.e. the category box, article box and shopping cart box) - its setting are in a completely different environment on class pages (outside of BTS). but I got it working anyway. Thanks again - moving forward
