Featured Product Support v1.5.4

Recommended Posts

This should be a simple one. On the large Featured Products box on the main page (not the info box in the column) how do I remove the link to the Featured Products page?

 

I want the large box and the title "Featured Products", I just want to remove the ability to click on the Featured Products title and bring up the Featured Products page. Therefore, I'm seeking the area where that link is in order to remove it.

 

Ideas?

 

Thanks,

Anthony

 

Does anybody know how to do this? It's quite an old post, but I'd appreciate an answer to his question...

 

Thanks alot.

I am running

osCommerce Online Merchant v2.3.1

 

and I went through step by step and at the end the catalog infobox disappeared in the admin section. and then no products showed up on my main page.

 

Any thoughts in what I might have missed or what I need to change? I did a restore of the site (I saved my changes files and can easily swap them back in)

 

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Hi Guys, I have been trying to figure this out now for a week, pulling my hair out. I installed Featured products version 1.6.5. Everything works fine except the formatting, the box is tiny and it has pushed my left column out. The original code for new_products was

Does anybody know how to do this? It's quite an old post, but I'd appreciate an answer to his question...

 

Thanks alot.

 

To remove the link from the Box Heading:

 

line 31 of includes\modules\featured.php

 

Change

 

$info_box_contents[] = array('align' => 'left', 'text' => '<a class="headerNavigation" href="' . tep_href_link(FILENAME_FEATURED_PRODUCTS) . '">' . TABLE_HEADING_FEATURED_PRODUCTS . '</a>');

Okay folks, I have just added this contribution and it is great. All is working - Special thank you to those that created and contributed to it - Great Job. To see mine it is www.nontando.com

There are 3 things that I would additionally like to do:

 

1. How can add my specials (at its special prices) to the featured products, and it displays the special prices. I just added 2 items that fall under that category ad it display the original price. I know there is an option for specials in config, but that only will allow me to display items on special (it still displays the original price).

 

2. I would like to beautify the featured products box a bit (similar to the way the new products worked), i.e. change font, perhaps a border/box, etc. How would I do this.

 

3. One of the main resons I added this contr, is the ability to have featured products selected and displayed for specific holidays, etc. Hence, i would like to be able to change the heading that currently says "Featured Products" to the applicable occasion, e.g. "Gift Ideas for Fathers Day". I know I can probably hard code it in index.php - just wondering if was a way without changing this file.

 

Thank so much, Gary

Hi all,

 

Hope someone can elp with this.

 

I am running featured.php and have managed to limit the columns to 2 instead of 3 columns as 3 columns were pushing my borders out.

 

However the featured.php box is still too wide but only because the length of the text. Does anyone know of a way to wrap the text after 20 characters or so?

 

Or is there a way of limiting the actual table itself so it nevers goes beyond a certain amount. Below is the code I am using in featured.php module.

 

Help.

Hello everyone. I just installed the Featured Products 1.6.3 add-on to my oscommerce 2.2 rc1 store and this is the link to go to for help. I've searched and searched for someone with the same exact problem as me, but couldn't find one. There were some with similar problems, but they either were never offered a solution, or there solution didn't work for me.

 

I went through all of the steps and made sure all of the changes were made correctly. I am kind of ignorant about how to use phpMyAdmin, so that may be the reason I am getting the error I'm getting. On step 9 of the install instructions, it says:

 

Step 9:

Edit the file /catalog/includes/application_top.php:

 

Find:

tep_expire_specials();

 

Add after:

// BOF: Featured Products

// auto expire featured products

require(DIR_WS_FUNCTIONS . 'featured.php');

tep_expire_featured();

// EOF: Featured Products

 

 

That is exactly what I did and the code was put in there right. Now, the last step before using this add-on is this:

 

Step 17: 
Now you need to create the database table that will be holding the featured products. To do so, you will need to run the featured_products_english.sql file's contents in your favorite sql interface (like phpmyadmin) to your existing database.

 

I THINK that I did this right, but I am not sure. Here is the error code that I am getting on the main page of my store now:

 

Warning: require(includes/functions/featured.php) [function.require]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/pinpoin4/public_html/gospeltractorg/store/includes/application_top.php on line 472

 

Warning: require(includes/functions/featured.php) [function.require]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/pinpoin4/public_html/gospeltractorg/store/includes/application_top.php on line 472

If I've done something wrong concerning step 17, can someone please walk me through it step by step? It seems that step 17 assumes that I know more than I do about using phpMyAdmin. Thank you for any help anyone gives...

Hi,

 

Just installed this but when I go into the admin and catalog all I have is < instead of saying Featured Products, when i click on the < it states

 

The requested URL /zxmnv/< was not found on this server.

 

the zxmnv is the name of my admin folder

 

Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.

 

Many thanks

I spent at LEAST an hour relentlessly looking through this thread for info on this, but havent been able to find anything. My eyes are freakin out from all the manual searching.

(There should be a better way to find posts about issues we are looking for!)

 

At any rate... On the store I am working on, the featured products on the main page is blue and doesnt match the rest of the site at all. I have searched through the files and not been able to find the formatting and table info or color info anywhere...

 

PLEASE, can someone let me know how to make this match the rest of the site?

 

It would be great if we can even just ditch the visible table and just make it white with no border... And get rid of the "Featured Products" heading in the top of the table all together...

 

Thank you in advance. I like the way this works, and appreciate all the time gone into doing this for us... I just need the table info gone and remove the header title for it too..

 

You can see what I mean here:
