Why I lost the Specials Catalog ?

[dansino]

Hi Guys,

 

I wanted to add some products to Specials from Admin, But found that I lost my "Specials" under Admin/Catalog, but the website still gets the Specials displayed.

 

Specials.php file still in the /include.

 

How do I get back the Specials catalog? :(

 

Thanks very much!

Hi

Here is the original catalog.php from a 2.2RC2A version, if you have no mods to impact its use that overwrite the existing one, or use a file compare program to see the differences.

This is the line you neeed to call the specials in your admin / catalog.

 

                              	'<a href="' . tep_href_link(FILENAME_SPECIALS, '', 'NONSSL') . '" class="menuBoxContentLink">' . BOX_CATALOG_SPECIALS . '</a><br>' . 

 

The full file is here
