Upgrade for readme.txt
Missing step now added.

### [ Step 3 ] ##################
### File : admin/includes/functions/general.php

Replace this:

// Sets the status of a product
function tep_set_product_status($products_id, $status) {
if ($status == '1') {
return tep_db_query("update " . TABLE_PRODUCTS . " set products_status = '1', products_last_modified = now() where products_id = '" . (int)$products_id . "'");
} elseif ($status == '0') {
return tep_db_query("update " . TABLE_PRODUCTS . " set products_status = '0', products_last_modified = now() where products_id = '" . (int)$products_id . "'");
} else {
return -1;
}
}

With this:

// Sets the status of a product
function tep_set_product_status($products_id, $status) {
if ($status == '1') {
return tep_db_query("update " . TABLE_PRODUCTS . " set products_status = '1', products_last_modified = now() where products_id = '" . (int)$products_id . "'");
} elseif ($status == '0') {
return tep_db_query("update " . TABLE_PRODUCTS . " set products_status = '0', products_featured = '0', products_last_modified = now() where products_id = '" . (int)$products_id . "'");
} else {
return -1;
}
}

////
// Sets the featured status of a product
function tep_set_product_featured($products_id, $featured) {
if ($featured == '1') {
return tep_db_query("update " . TABLE_PRODUCTS . " set products_featured = '1', products_last_modified = now(), products_featured_until = '". date('Y/m/d', time() + 86400 * DAYS_UNTIL_FEATURED_PRODUCTS)."' where products_id = '" . (int)$products_id . "'");
} elseif ($featured == '0') {
return tep_db_query("update " . TABLE_PRODUCTS . " set products_featured = '0', products_last_modified = now(), products_featured_until = NULL where products_id = '" . (int)$products_id . "'");
} else {
return -1;
}
}

cieto Featured Products V1.5

Not tested in cvs 2.1 but it should work.. (just guessing)

Many fixed bugs from version 1.0.

Lets you show featured products in the main page with a short description.

You can set the short description in diferent languages.

The short description is not part of the description of each product. You should write it in a diferent text box.

Contact me if you have any problem with it.

cieto Featured Products with desc V1.0

Lets you show featured products in the main page with a short description.

You can set the short description in diferent languages.

The short description is not a short version of the description of each product. You have to write it in a diferent text box.
