Next & Previous button for New products Listing

[eurojen]

Hi

I am trying to add next and previous buttons to the top of the New products listing.

I have searched the forums but have not been able to find anyway of changing from the standard text to a button.

I found the following lines in button_names.php:
define('PREVNEXT_BUTTON_NEXT', 'button_prev.gif');
define('PREVNEXT_BUTTON_LAST', 'button_next.gif');

I have edited the tpl_products_new_default.php file and see that the code that produces this next/prev link is called in
<div id="newProductsDefaultListingTopNumber"

but I don't know how to get the button instead of the text link.

Anyone out there know how ?


Regards

There are several ways to do this. One way is as follows:

First, put your previous and next buttons in your '/images' folder under your Zen Cart installation.

E.g. '/images/prev.gif' and '/images/next.gif'.

Next, override the file /includes/languages/english.php as follows.

Replace the following two lines:

define('PREVNEXT_BUTTON_PREV', '[<< Prev]');
define('PREVNEXT_BUTTON_NEXT', '[Next >>]'); 

with these two lines. Adjust according to your actual setup (e.g. actual image file name).

define('PREVNEXT_BUTTON_PREV', '<img src="images/prev.gif" alt="&lt;&lt;&nbsp;Prev" />');
 define('PREVNEXT_BUTTON_NEXT', '<img src="images/next.gif" alt="&lt;&lt;&nbsp;Next" />'); 

Finally, refresh your browser and verify the changes.

Do note that I've only included the basic HTML img attributes, you should add any other img attributes (e.g. title, width, height) according to your own needs and other best practices.
