Guest Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 I seen it somewhere on the board but for my coding it doesn't work. I think it is because the coding is for an EARLIER version of OSC. So if anyone can help me code it so my store shows different random products on the Homepage everytime the page is refreshed that would be great.

Guest Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 Nevermind I figured it out. Here just in case others were wanting to do the samething! If you are looking to show random products on your homepage this is how you CAN do it: Open --> /includes/modules/new_products.php and find this: (On about line 20) if ( (!isset($new_products_category_id)) || ($new_products_category_id == '0') ) { $new_products_query = tep_db_query("select p.products_id, p.products_image, p.products_tax_class_id, if(s.status, s.specials_new_products_price, p.products_price) as products_price from " . TABLE_PRODUCTS . " p left join " . TABLE_SPECIALS . " s on p.products_id = s.products_id where products_status = '1' order by p.products_date_added desc limit " . MAX_DISPLAY_NEW_PRODUCTS); } else { $new_products_query = tep_db_query("select distinct p.products_id, p.products_image, p.products_tax_class_id, if(s.status, s.specials_new_products_price, p.products_price) as products_price from " . TABLE_PRODUCTS . " p left join " . TABLE_SPECIALS . " s on p.products_id = s.products_id, " . TABLE_PRODUCTS_TO_CATEGORIES . " p2c, " . TABLE_CATEGORIES . " c where p.products_id = p2c.products_id and p2c.categories_id = c.categories_id and c.parent_id = '" . (int)$new_products_category_id . "' and p.products_status = '1' order by p.products_date_added desc limit " . MAX_DISPLAY_NEW_PRODUCTS); } Replace with this: if ( (!isset($new_products_category_id)) || ($new_products_category_id == '0') ) { $new_products_query = tep_db_query("select p.products_id, p.products_image, p.products_tax_class_id, if(s.status, s.specials_new_products_price, p.products_price) as products_price from " . TABLE_PRODUCTS . " p left join " . TABLE_SPECIALS . " s on p.products_id = s.products_id where products_status = '1' order by rand() limit " . MAX_DISPLAY_NEW_PRODUCTS); } else { $new_products_query = tep_db_query("select distinct p.products_id, p.products_image, p.products_tax_class_id, if(s.status, s.specials_new_products_price, p.products_price) as products_price from " .

Can you make the needed changes so the description is there as well?. looking forward to using this change. send me a pm or email when you have done this so I can update. thanks, kuai Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
