HELP... How to get "Upcoming Products" to work?

Can someone please give me a full step by step run down on how to get the "Upcoming Products" to work :cry:

I am using Zen Cart 1.3.8

I have looked around on the board for this answer, but some things seem to be harder to find than others or are just not there at all (and so now I am starting it.... Darn it :cool:)

If you need more info please post it here and I will do my best to answer them.

Upcoming products is normally enabled by default (unless you're using a template where it's been removed). All you need to do is have products whose date_available is in the future.

I think it has something to do with the"Date Available:" input box not showing up in the page where you add new products, I have not made any changes to this page. but there is now "Upcoming Products" box showing up on my main page where I set it to be or will it not show untill I add a product to be upcoming?

Got it! :clap:

I found that the 1.3.8 version of Zen Cart is missing the "spiffyCal_v2_1.js" file under "admin/includes/javascrips/spiffyCal" I downloaded an earlier version of Zen Cart and added it to it's proper directory and what do you know it works now :bigups:

Note: I have attached the files that are needed, please read the readme.txt file for instructions on what to do.
