The Seasonal Centerbox is acenterbox - just like the New Products, Featured Products and Monthly Specials Centerboxes - which allows you to show off randomly selected items from a specific category.
https://www.zen-cart.com/downloads.php?do=file&id=2295
The includes/templates/custom/templates/tpl_modules_seasonal.php goes in includes/templates/YOURTEMPLATE/templates/tpl_modules_seasonal.php.
Apparently, the plugin moderator missed the standardization at https://docs.zen-cart.com/user/first.../#yourtemplate.
:rotflmao:
Seriously, keep up the great work.
I have installed and made modifications per the readme file. Should this display in admin/configuration/index listing ?
I cannot locate where to utilize this like I would the featured products.
zc 1.5.7.b
It's not yet admin-controllable (will be in the next release). Right now, see step 6 in the README.txt for customization instructions.
Thank You!
Seasonal Centerbox has been updated to provide built-in admin controls so file edits are no longer required.
Great! Just wonder if it is random order? Products in the featured Products are random order. If this plugin allows me to give the products some sort order, I can use it to replace featured products :smile:
Yes, it is in random order.
Many thanks for your reply. Is it possible to assign a sort order to the products?Quote:

I installed your latest version on 1.5.7c. I followed instructions that says :
Right above
while (!$show_display_category->EOF) {
add this block of code:
<?php require($template->get_template_dir('tpl_modules_seasonal.php',DIR_WS_TEMPLATE, $current_page_base,'templates'). '/tpl_modules_seasonal.php'); ?>
Here is my file:
$show_display_category = $db->Execute(SQL_SHOW_PRODUCT_INFO_MAIN);
<?php require($template->get_template_dir('tpl_modules_seasonal.php',DIR_WS_TEMPLATE, $current_page_base,'templates'). '/tpl_modules_seasonal.php'); ?>
while (!$show_display_category->EOF) {
causes my Main page center to be empty. No Main page or features nor specials... Just blank.
Did I miss something????? Thanks
You are already in PHP in the block where you pasted it. So no need for the start and end php - instead use
$show_display_category = $db->Execute(SQL_SHOW_PRODUCT_INFO_MAIN);
require($template->get_template_dir('tpl_modules_seasonal.php',DIR_WS_TEMPLATE, $current_page_base,'templates'). '/tpl_modules_seasonal.php');
while (!$show_display_category->EOF) {
...
Silly Me..... so much for programming late at night.........
That helped but now Featured Products tab does not work correctly.

The sql did add to admin_pages and configuration_group but not to configuration table, so I did it thru phpMyAdmin. I had been looking into the php's but not the DB. Thank for pointing me in the right way.
Works fine now. :clap: Nice plugin!
I installed your mod and it works great. Easy installation and setup via admin.
I just have one question:
Is it possible to add a "buy now " or "more info" button below each product?
site is atwww.royal-fleur.com for reference.
Thank you for your time
The centerboxes don't normally have buy buttons on them but certainly you could add the code to do that for items without attributes. But there's nothing built in - you'd have to write the logic yourself.
Thank you for the prompt reply. Unfortunately, I am not coder so that s a bit out of my reach.Quote:

I came across this plug in at https://www.zen-cart.com/downloads.php?do=file&id=998 but it has not been updated for awhile. I will just keep digging around to seeif someone did the modifications.
Thanks again for your time.
Quick question on this great plug-in:
How do i get to display between the special centerbox and the featured centerbox?
I know the order of special/featured/new product can be change via admin but no luck with seasonal centerbox.
I tried to move the display code between
andCode:?>
<?php require($template->get_template_dir('tpl_modules_featured_products.php',DIR_WS_TEMPLATE, $current_page_base,'templates'). '/tpl_modules_featured_products.php'); ?>
<?php } ?
it appears to work at first by displaying seasonal box between the two. However, i end up with the seasonal box being display 2 more times below again. ( so 3 seasonal box total on main page :( )Code:<?php if ($show_display_category->fields['configuration_key'] == 'SHOW_PRODUCT_INFO_MAIN_SPECIALS_PRODUCTS') { ?>
<?php
Any suggestion on this please?
Thank you
For clarification: the file being modified is
includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/templates/tpl_index_default.php
You added this block:
<?php require($template->get_template_dir('tpl_modules_seasonal.php',DIR_WS_TEMPLATE, $current_page_base,'templates'). '/tpl_modules_seasonal.php'); ?>
above
while (!$show_display_category->EOF) {
(per the instructions). Remove that.
Now place that block between
<?php require($template->get_template_dir('tpl_modules_featured_products.php',DIR_WS_TEMPLATE, $current_page_base,'templates'). '/tpl_modules_featured_products.php'); ?>
and the following line
<?php } ?>
Thank you for the prompt reply and assitance.Quote:

Glad it works for you.
Hello everyone,
ZC 1.5.7
Bootstrap template
I installed this plug in on my website upgrade.
Installation went smooth and easy but i am getting some display issue.
Somehow the seasonal centerbox is not following the same "layout"as the featuredand/or special centerbox.
What do i need to do in order to fix it? site is at http://www.royal-fleur.com/upgrade
Thank you for the help
Be sure you are using ./includes/modules/bootstrap/seasonal_index.php from the zip file, and not ./includes/modules/custom/seasonal_index.php.
I don t have a ./includes/modules/bootstrap/seasonal_index.php in the plugin zip file.Quote:

Excuse my ignorance but where do i find thecorrect file?
Also should the file be placed in ./includes/modules/bootstrap/ or ./includes/modules/bootstrap/centerboxes?
Thank you
You're right - I thought I had uploaded that change but I guess I didn't. Grab the new version and update ./includes/modules/bootstrap/seasonal_index.php.
Thank you very much for the fast reply and help.Quote:

Thank you
See installation instructions step 6.

Check the module file where the $list_box_contents variable is set
There is no file for this mod in template/bootstrap/centerboxes.Quote:

Any ideas on how i can make this work please?
Thank you
I could use some help .
The modules was working fine then i switch categories to 0 to disable the module for awhile.
I switch it back to categories 48 for example, however, i am getting a blank frame.
I tried to remove and reinstall the plugin but no luck.
It is on the main page of royal-fleur.com right above the deal of the week section.
Anyone know how i can fix this?
thank you for your help.
