This is probably an easy question, but I'm new to osCommerce, so I'm a little bit lost.

I'm modifying a website made with osCommerce (I didn't make this website), and one of the things I have to modify is the look of the home page. My problem is that I have modified the index.php file, and all the changes look fine. However, when I click a link that has been written in PHP with this function:

<?php echo tep_href_link(FILENAME_DEFAULT,'cPath=24&sort=2a') ?>

(in the filenames.php I have:

define('FILENAME_DEFAULT', 'index.php');

)

what happens is that it shows the correct results, but in a different page, with the old design. I don't undesrstand it, because as I understand, that link should take me to the same index.php that I modified, but obviously it's taking me somewhere else. But I don't know what page is it showing, the only thing I see is the link written by the PHP function:

..(my_catalog_folder)/escaparate-c-24.html?sort=2a&osCsid=p7fp55t489nv042p0ip4mp7si1

I guess that the tep_href_link() is writting that, but I don't know what page is using to show the results.

Any clues would be much appreciatted!

The site has one of the SEO URL mod's installed.

The links are being rewritten by the .htaccess file.

I'm no .htaccess guru - I can only point you in that direction, not explain how it works in detail.

SEO URls are installed... rules are in htaccess using mod rewrite

Thank you guys! You were right, my problem was in the .htaccess, I had to change the path in the mod rewrite since the website is in a different folder.

Thanks a lot for your help!

I have another question:

In the same project, I have to do 2 more things with an infobox (I believe it's called new_products modul). Currently, it's showing on the home page 9 products.

- How can I change it to show only 6? 2 rows of 3 products.
- Also, how can I add a second infobox showing 6 products from another category?
