seasonal pages


BBJ

Recommended Posts

I'm running a flowershop site and want to know if there is a simple way to hide seasonal pages like Christmas or Valentines etc. We hate to delete the page as several items will be the same year after year, just minor price changes etc.

 

All we want is for the "Christmas" or "Valentines" link not to show up on the products catagory listings.

 

Thanks,

BBJ

This is just a thought, and i just tried it, so, it should do what you want. Try setting the products to Active only when you want them.

 

You'll have to go to admin, goto the catalog categories section, find the specific item and click on the INactive button. It's in the same row under status. Green means active, red means inactive. Mousing over the two "LEDs" will show you which is which.

 

If you're using Easy Populate, you could just change the entries, in the spreadsheet, for whichever items you like from Active to INactive in the appropriate column.

Thanks! that works but I would like it better if I could also eliminate the page from showing up in the catagory menu......that would be the cats meow!

a possible solution to this you get try something like:

if (date("m") > 00 && date("m") < 03){
echo 'your htmllink to this page here';
}

 

on the pages that may only show then (instead of the links to it)

you could insert all your code within the '' marks, and perhaps even end it with

} else {
tep_redirect(tep_href_link(FILENAME_DEFAULT, '', 'SSL'));
}
