Add file to this packageInclude all Subcategories for 'New Products in ...'
for osCommerce Online Merchant v2.2
This contribution changes new_products.php in a way that it will now check all subcategories of a category branch for products, no matter how deep or complex the structure may be, and display them in the 'new products in *month*'-Box of a category. It addresses a flaw in the original code of osCommerce 2.2 Milestone 2:
The standard version will only include products of subcategories nested one level deep, but not any deeper. This is no problem if the shop has only two category levels in the first place, like in the 2.2MS2 'out of the box'-version does. For shops with a deeper category structure however, this means not all 'new products' of a branch will be shown in the box, in many/most cases none will be shown at all. Customers then get to see a basically empty page when clicking on categories 'in between'.
This is for osC2.2 MS2.
Has instructions in english and german.

I included an empty folder in the last package - no big problem, but to avoid confusion, I corrected that with this package. No new features here.
