How to display specials instead of new products list

[sunburned]

Instead of showing the table with new products on the start page I would like to show the table with the specials.

 

Is the any way to include the specials.php on the start page?

 

Thank in advance!

I have just modified this contribution to give specials on the main page and when in category the new products as before: hope it is of use.

 

Just replace your new_products.php with the code below, this has not been tested on 2.2

 

<?php

/*

$Id: new_products.php,v 1.32 2002/04/26 20:28:07 dgw_ Exp $

<tr>

<td><table border="0" width="100%" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="2">

<tr>

<?php

$info_box_contents = array();

 

if ( (!isset($new_products_category_id)) || ($new_products_category_id == '0') ) {

$info_box_contents[] = array('align' => 'left', 'text' => sprintf(TABLE_HEADING_DEFAULT_SPECIALS, strftime('%B')));

$new = tep_db_query("select p.products_id, pd.products_name, p.products_price, p.products_tax_class_id, p.products_image, s.specials_new_products_price from " . TABLE_PRODUCTS . " p, " .

MAX_DISPLAY_SPECIAL_PRODUCTS);

} else {

$info_box_contents[] = array('align' => 'left', 'text' => sprintf(TABLE_HEADING_NEW_PRODUCTS, strftime('%B')));

$new = 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 " .

new contentBoxHeading($info_box_contents);

 

$info_box_contents = array();

I have also added rand() order to the specials select statement as it was always showing the same ones based on date order of when they were added
