CATEGORIES Box Questions

[sickfishsigns]

Hello all,

I was wanting to know if anyone knew how to change the information that is in the standard CATEGORIES box. For example, I dont want it to show the categories listings, just the new products and all products links. If anyone knows and would like to help, I need it bad! LOL

Thanks

Question - how are your customers going to find your products/categories if they are not in this area?
admin > tools > layout box controller > you can turn this box off completely.

Create another sidebox(downloads "Blank Sidebox") and place just the new products and all products links in this new box

Okay now how would I go about adding these links. Would it be just slappin in:
// $display_limit = zen_get_products_new_timelimit();
$display_limit = zen_get_new_date_range();
$show_this = $db->Execute("select p.products_id
from " . TABLE_PRODUCTS . " p
where p.products_status = 1 " . $display_limit . " limit 1");
if ($show_this->RecordCount() > 0) {
$content .= '<a class="category-links" href="' . zen_href_link(FILENAME_PRODUCTS_NEW) . '">' . CATEGORIES_BOX_HEADING_WHATS_NEW . '</a>' . '<br />' . "\n";
}
}
if (SHOW_CATEGORIES_BOX_FEATURED_PRODUCTS == 'true') {
$show_this = $db->Execute("select products_id from " . TABLE_FEATURED . " where status= 1 limit 1");
if ($show_this->RecordCount() > 0) {
$content .= '<a class="category-links" href="' . zen_href_link(FILENAME_FEATURED_PRODUCTS) . '">' . CATEGORIES_BOX_HEADING_FEATURED_PRODUCTS . '</a>' . '<br />' . "\n";
}
}
if (SHOW_CATEGORIES_BOX_PRODUCTS_ALL == 'true') {
$content .= '<a class="category-links" href="' . zen_href_link(FILENAME_PRODUCTS_ALL) . '">' . CATEGORIES_BOX_HEADING_PRODUCTS_ALL . '</a>' . "\n";
}
}
$content .= '</div>';
?>
