#1

Able to display a content box on the home page with recent news.

#2

this is already there

#3

Settings-> Addons-> [tick] News & emails

#4

No I meant where the welcome information is displayed - in the middle section.

#5

Site Info - Right hand column,



Appearance

#6

Nothing in Appearance settings has to do with showing any news on the front page in the middle where the welcome text is.



I’m talking like how [URL]MTGO Traders Magic the Gathering Online Shop MTGO store has their news on their front page. I want it in a content box, not a side box.

#7

There I managed to do it myself. Had to make a mod for it. I already searched topcoderpro.com for one and it’s not there.



You can see what I was talking about more clearly now here:

I understand what you wanted now.

Unfortunately I didn’t have the time to go over it for you.



Much appreciating your contribution :wink:

Thanks for the mod. I tried installing on 135 sp4 and had problems with errors especially with :



REPLACE



{include file=“welcome.tpl”}





WITH



{if $mode ne “catalog”}










{if $settings.Addons.news_opts.news_items_on_welcome_page != ‘0’}



{/if}





{include file=“welcome.tpl”}

{[LISTMANIA]}

{if $settings.Addons.listmania == “Y”}

{include file=“addons/listmania/listboxes.tpl” box=$smarty.const.LM_CENTRAL order=$smarty.const.LM_BEFORE_MAIN_CONTENT}

{include file=“addons/listmania/listboxes.tpl” box=$smarty.const.LM_CENTRAL order=$smarty.const.LM_AFTER_MAIN_CONTENT}

{/if}

{[/LISTMANIA]}

{include file=“addons/news_and_emails/home_news.tpl”}


{else}

{include file=“welcome.tpl”}

{/if}



I get an unclosed /{else} at line 162 started at line 132

Great mod! Looking 4 this



My dedicated server does not have phpmyadmin, also I am not good at modifying SQL.



Can this lines


[QUOTE]INSERT INTO cscart_settings (option_id,option_name,section_id,subsection_id,option_type,value,position,is_global) VALUES (900000,‘news_items_on_welcome_page’,‘Addons’,‘news_opts’,‘I’,‘5’,600,‘Y’);

INSERT INTO cscart_settings_descriptions (object_id,description,object_type,lang_code,object_string_id) VALUES (900000,‘Number of news items on Welcome page’,‘O’,‘EN’,‘’);[/QUOTE]



be simply injected from admin backend, database update?

#12

The upgrade center is no longer in use since 1.3.4. Is there any other way to add the SQL?

#13

Is it possibly interfering with another mod? There have been so many other successful attempts.

Matt,

I believe you can still update the database from the upgrade center (using the lower input box)



For example, I do this on occasion, (when I am working from home for example)



[URL=“CS-Cart Documentation — CS-Cart 4.15.x documentation”]CS-Cart Documentation — CS-Cart 4.15.x documentation

#15

Ah. I haven’t used it because of that message in the center, but if you can, you can.

#16

You can find the upgrade centre under “DB Upgrade/ Restore”



It’s hyperlinked text next to “Logs” & “PHP information”

#17

Yeah, I knew that, but I’ve just never used it.

#18

So can I run these lines there ?

#19

[quote name=‘Darius’]So can I run these lines there ?[/quote]



Should be able to without an issue.

#20

Installed this finally. It was not working for me in two columns. So I modified content.tpl a bit.



Great mod, thank you.
