Main Page Define - Product Listing above Main Text?

[SaMortensen]

In Zencart, I know there has to be a way to move the products above the main page text...but I can't find it in the book, nor on the site, and this is possibly because I am not sure what I am looking for. Lack of terminology.

Is it possible to do this, or is this something that I would have to modify the actual code to do?

My site is Knot & Bauble Shoppe and I am running Zen Cart v1.3.8a/v1.3.8.

Your awesome help would be extremely appreciated.

What "products"??
Your "New Products"??

[SaMortensen]

On the main page there is your Main text, below that is your new products, then specials or featured products (if desired). My question is, can you move that text below the new products for the month?

In a copy of includes/templates/template_default/templates/tpl_index_default.php - to be saved in the same structure in your template folder find this

<?php if ($show_display_category->fields['configuration_key'] == 'SHOW_PRODUCT_INFO_MAIN_NEW_PRODUCTS') { ?>
<?php
/**
 * display the New Products Center Box
 */
?>
<?php require($template->get_template_dir('tpl_modules_whats_new.php',DIR_WS_TEMPLATE, $current_page_base,'templates'). '/tpl_modules_whats_new.php'); ?>
<?php } ?>

Cut and paste it right before:

<?php if (DEFINE_MAIN_PAGE_STATUS >= 1 and DEFINE_MAIN_PAGE_STATUS <= 2) { ?>

Save and upload

I'm not sure I am clear on that. Did you want me to paste "

<?php if (DEFINE_MAIN_PAGE_STATUS >= 1 and DEFINE_MAIN_PAGE_STATUS <= 2) { ?>

" before this section:

<?php if ($show_display_category->fields['configuration_key'] == 'SHOW_PRODUCT_INFO_MAIN_NEW_PRODUCTS') { ?>
<?php
/**
* display the New Products Center Box
*/
?>
<?php require($template->get_template_dir('tpl_modules_whats_new.php',DIR_WS_TEMPLATE, $current_page_base,'templates'). '/tpl_modules_whats_new.php'); ?>
<?php } ?>

Doing that makes the whole center and right nav column disappear.

The other way around:

Find > cut and paste before

Sorry to resurrect an old post.

Anywho, I've tried what you suggested to move products above text (save for the fact that I'm using the featured products tpl). When I cut it from it's current location and paste it above DEFINE_MAIN_PAGE_STATUS featured disappears completely.

Paste it back below and everything is happy again. Am I missing something?

Thanks!

Matt,

Paste it back below and everything is happy again. Am I missing something?

This is what you need to cut and where it needs to be pasted - Only highlighted code

<?php require($template->get_template_dir('tpl_modules_featured_products.php',DIR_WS_TEMPLATE, $current_page_base,'templates'). '/tpl_modules_featured_products.php'); ?>
<?php if (DEFINE_MAIN_PAGE_STATUS >= 1 and DEFINE_MAIN_PAGE_STATUS <= 2) { ?>
<?php

Ignore.

I need to try this before posting to ask if I should try this; right!

[moggi1964]

Okay!

I tried cutting and pasting code in tpl_index.php to try to find a way to create another block of text between Featured Items and the bottom banner.

Hasn't worked

Can anyone suggest an idea of what I need to do?

Thanks.
