Can someone please make it possible for this contribution to display random products instead of static latest specials only?

I cant seem to get the array to fetch random products :'(

i.e.

Could be based on the Specials box (usealy) on the right... Where a random product is shown within a certain search range, stated in the admin (MAX_RANDOM_SELECT_SPECIALS).

Hi

In:

catalog/includes/modules/default_specials.php

Find this:

order by s.specials_date_added DESC limit

replace:

order by rand() DESC limit

and find this:

order by p.products_date_added desc limit

replace:

order by rand() DESC limit

Hi

There are two locations to add the code in catalog/index.php

to display in the main page is in about line 324, before this:

		  <tr>
		<td><?php echo tep_draw_separator('pixel_trans.gif', '100%', '10'); ?></td>
	  </tr>
	  <tr>
		<td><?php include(DIR_WS_MODULES . FILENAME_NEW_PRODUCTS); ?></td>
	  </tr>

adding this code appear the specials module:

<?php
// DEFAULT SPECIALS START...
		   if (SHOW_DEFAULTSPECIALS=="true") {
?>
	  <tr>
		<td><?php echo tep_draw_separator('pixel_trans.gif', '100%', '10'); ?></td>
	  </tr>
  <tr>
 <td><?php include(DIR_WS_MODULES . FILENAME_DEFAULT_SPECIALS); ?></td>
  </tr>

<?php
  }
// DEFAULT SPECIALS END...
?>

and for display in categories, about line 130 before this:

		  <tr>
		<td><?php echo tep_draw_separator('pixel_trans.gif', '100%', '10'); ?></td>
	  </tr>
	  <tr>
		<td><?php include(DIR_WS_MODULES . FILENAME_NEW_PRODUCTS); ?></td>
	  </tr>

add this:

<?php
// DEFAULT SPECIALS ON CATEGORIES START...
		   if (SHOW_DEFAULTSPECIALS_CATEGORY=="true") {
?>
	  <tr>
		<td><?php echo tep_draw_separator('pixel_trans.gif', '100%', '10'); ?></td>
	  </tr>
  <tr>
 <td><?php include(DIR_WS_MODULES . FILENAME_DEFAULT_SPECIALS); ?></td>
  </tr>

<?php
  }
// DEFAULT SPECIALS ON CATEGORIES END...
?>

Note: the code is different for have the option to active / no active the module in admin

After do the all modifications then in admin there are new options in:

Admin >> Catalog menu >> Specials

"Display / not Display module Specials in Main Page:

and:

"Display / not Display module Specials in Categories with subcategorie:"

and two icons:

- a green icon (for active the module)

- and a red icon (for desactive the module)

click on green icon for active and show the module in catalog.

with this new options is possible select show the module in Main page and / or categories page

hi

try this:

in file:

catalog/includes/filenames.php

find:

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

add after:

define('FILENAME_DEFAULT_SPECIALS', 'default_specials.php');

this define the file

Hi,

I have a similar problem. No error messages appear, everything seems to have been added ok, but no specials appear on my main page.

My code is:

<?php

// DEFAULT SPECIALS ON CATEGORIES START...

if (SHOW_DEFAULTSPECIALS_CATEGORY=="true") {

?>

<tr>

</tr>

<tr>

</tr>

<?php

}

// DEFAULT SPECIALS ON CATEGORIES END...

?>

<tr>

</tr>

<tr>

</tr>

AND

<?php

// DEFAULT SPECIALS START...

if (SHOW_DEFAULTSPECIALS=="true") {

?>

<tr>

</tr>

<tr>

</tr>

<?

}

// DEFAULT SPECIALS END...

?>

<tr>

</tr>

-->

<tr>

</tr>

</table></td>

<?php

} else { // default page

?>

<tr>

<td>

<?php include(DIR_WS_MODULES . FILENAME_NEW_PRODUCTS); ?>

</td>

</tr>

</table>

</td>

<?php

I would love some help.

Thanks,

Debbie :huh:

Thanks for the contribution. Works fine.

But I want only show 1 article at a row, because I want to show some description, too.

Can't find how to do this. Can anybody help?

Thanks

Nick

nbambou · May 6, 2007

Found it!

Change

if ($col > 2) {

$col = 0;

$row ++;

}

to

if ($col > 0) {

$col = 0;

$row ++;

}

at default_specials.php.

nbambou · May 6, 2007

At the moment the disctription is among the picture. I want the discription beside of the picture.

What to do?

Thanks

Nick

Hi I just installed V3. I have a weird problem. When specials are displayed in the main page, the crossed-out old price is higher than the new special price which is the proper behavior according to what's in the database. However, if I click on a category to go to the categories page, then the crossed-out price displayed is the same as the special price (They both show the same special price, one is crossed out and the other is not). If I click on the product, the product_info.php page displays both the crossed out old price and the new special price properly.

Hi,

I have the same problem as you ... any solutions to this?, When specials are displayed in the main page everything looks great but if I click on a category to go to the categories page, then the crossed-out price displayed is the same as the special price. Any suggestions?.

Thanks!
