Help! How to add Sold to Specials and New Products only?

[jamana]

Hi,
Hope someone out there can tell us where to begin with customizing the Specials and New Products on the Index page to show a sold.gif.

We've tried if this is home page and $this_is_home_page but it doesn't work. We only want to affect the index home, the other category pages are working fine so don't want to change anything about them.

Found this code in the forums but it affects all pages:
//get specials price or sale price
function zen_get_products_special_price($product_id, $specials_price_only=false) {
global $db;
$product = $db->Execute("select products_price, products_model, products_priced_by_attribute from " . TABLE_PRODUCTS . " where products_id = '" . (int)$product_id . "'");
Can anyone direct us how to do this?

Thanks so much in advance,

Well, we figured it out, if anyone else is interested, this is how to do it. In functions/functions_prices.php, starting around line 148 add the text in red:
// Specials and Tax Included
function zen_get_products_display_price($products_id) {
global $db, $currencies, $this_is_home_page;
$free_tag = "";
$call_tag = "";


// return sold out image vs price
$products_quantity = zen_get_products_stock($products_id);
if ( $products_quantity <= 0 && $this_is_home_page == true ) {
$return_button = zen_image_button(BUTTON_IMAGE_SOLD_OUT_SM, BUTTON_SOLD_OUT_SM_ALT);
return $return_button;
}
