Index Page problem

May 20, 2004

Now the index page is show the new product list,

but I don't want it.

I want to show the special product list that I think be more attractive for discount product.

How to do it?!

Thanks~

Toni,

In /catalog/index.php, around line 326

<!-- right_navigation //-->
<?php require(DIR_WS_INCLUDES . 'column_right.php'); ?>
<!-- right_navigation_eof //-->

In /catalog/includes/column_right.php . line 35 to 39

  if (isset($HTTP_GET_VARS['products_id'])) {
   if (basename($PHP_SELF) != FILENAME_TELL_A_FRIEND) include(DIR_WS_BOXES . 'tell_a_friend.php');
 } else {
   include(DIR_WS_BOXES . 'specials.php');
 }

As a 'test' try replacing this line in /catalog/index.php (lines 315/317 for me)

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

with .................................

<?php
   //include(DIR_WS_MODULES . FILENAME_UPCOMING_PRODUCTS);
   include(DIR_WS_BOXES . 'specials.php');
?>

It is show upcoming~

peterr · May 27, 2004

Toni,

If it is showing upcoming products, then you haven't commented out the line like this:

//include(DIR_WS_MODULES . FILENAME_UPCOMING_PRODUCTS);

..... unless you have some contributions or other code that does the above include ??

OH..Sorry..

I see ...

But it only show 1 product in the bottom.

peterr · May 27, 2004

Toni,

But it only show 1 product in the bottom.

Upcoming products are by date, so that is why there is only one, because there is only one of your products with a "date available" after today. :)

But I want to show the special product (discount) to replace the new products,

not upcoming product.

^^

peterr · May 27, 2004

Toni,

Comment out the upcoming products, and then add a line to display the specials like this

//include(DIR_WS_MODULES . FILENAME_UPCOMING_PRODUCTS);
  include(DIR_WS_BOXES . 'specials.php');

? include(DIR_WS_BOXES . 'specials.php');
Peter

Yes, I know that.

But may be my question is making you with some mistakes...

I just want to show the Special Product and don't want to show the New Product (in a month) in index page.

The upcoming product list that I needed.

Hi,

//include(DIR_WS_MODULES . FILENAME_UPCOMING_PRODUCTS);
  include(DIR_WS_BOXES . 'specials.php');
Peter

Yes, I know that.

Yes, we are finally getting somewhere, I see from your website that you have commented out the line, the upcoming products is not showing now, which is what you wanted. :D

I just want to show the Special Product and don't want to show the New Product (in a month) in index page.

The upcoming product list that I needed.

1. Your first statement says you don't want the new products

2. Your second statement says you want the upcoming product list.

My understanding is that:

New_products == Upcoming_products

I'm sure they are the SAME thing, so please state whether you want it or not.

It is clear that you DO want specials though. :)

For Specials on index instead of New Products try this:

Copy this and save in catalog/includes/modules/ as default_specials.php

Backup...Backup...Backup

Complete the following:

1). In filenames.php in the catalog/includes directory find line 37 approx

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

and add after

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

2). In index.php in the catalog directory find line 130 and line 300 approx,

Change the two instances of

FILENAME_NEW_PRODUCTS

and replace with

FILENAME_DEFAULT_SPECIALS

3). In index.php in the catalog/includes/languages/english directory find line 23 approx

define('TABLE_HEADING_NEW_PRODUCTS', 'New Products For %s');

define('TABLE_HEADING_UPCOMING_PRODUCTS', 'Upcoming Products');

define('TABLE_HEADING_DATE_EXPECTED', 'Date Expected');

and add after:

define('TABLE_HEADING_DEFAULT_SPECIALS', 'Specials For %s');

REPEAT THE LAST STEP FOR index.php IN ANY OTHER LANGUAGES YOU MAY HAVE INSTALLED.
