new_products.php - replacing $new_products->fields['products_name'] with manufacturer

[limelites]

I'm trying to change the text under the thumbnails on my Empty Cart page when it displays the list of new products instead of just an empty page.

This is not controlled by the same files as the main new products page and so it displays different text under the images.

I’m trying to replace the products_id (or is it called products_name?) with whatever generates the ‘manufacturers id' or 'manufacturers name')

So, I’d quite like to get from this:

to this:


I’m just not sure how to call for the manufacturers name instead of the products_name.

Can anyone tell me how I need to alter the php file? This is the line that controls this text at the moment:

    'text' => (($new_products->fields['products_image'] == '' and PRODUCTS_IMAGE_NO_IMAGE_STATUS == 0) ? '' : '<a href="' . zen_href_link(zen_get_info_page($new_products->fields['products_id']), 'cPath=' . $productsInCategory[$new_products->fields['products_id']] . '&products_id=' . $new_products->fields['products_id']) . '">' . zen_image(DIR_WS_IMAGES . $new_products->fields['products_image'], $new_products->fields['products_name'], IMAGE_PRODUCT_NEW_WIDTH, IMAGE_PRODUCT_NEW_HEIGHT) . '</a><br />') . '<a href="' . zen_href_link(zen_get_info_page($new_products->fields['products_id']), 'cPath=' . $productsInCategory[$new_products->fields['products_id']] . '&products_id=' . $new_products->fields['products_id']) . '">' . $new_products->fields['products_name'] . '</a><br />' . $new_products->fields['products_model'] .$products_model .'<br />' .$products_price.'<br /><p>' );

That is the New Products centerbox which is the same on the Home page or Categories etc.

The Link you have for New Products is the New Products Listing ...

The New Products Centerbox is located at:
/includes/modules/new_products.php

be sure to use your templates and overrides and be aware what ever you change will also happen when run on the other locations for the New Products centerbox ...

Hi Linda,

I do always use override files.

However, my new products centre box is controlled here (when page returns empty results) by new_products.php........... as opposed to tpl_modules_products_new_listing.php which controls the new products when I click on the New Products link from the navigation menu.....

That's why both pages display this text in very different ways and that's why editing new_products.php has no effect whatsoever on the new products page (unless it's displayed automatically when a user finds the emtpy cart message)

Looks like you have succeeded ... what was your method?

[limelites]

Yes, success at last :-)

replace this line in new_products.php:

'text' => (($new_products->fields['products_image'] == '' and PRODUCTS_IMAGE_NO_IMAGE_STATUS == 0) ? '' : '<a href="' . zen_href_link(zen_get_info_page($new_products->fields['products_id']), 'cPath=' . $productsInCategory[$new_products->fields['products_id']] . '&products_id=' . $new_products->fields['products_id']) . '">' . zen_image(DIR_WS_IMAGES . $new_products->fields['products_image'], $new_products->fields['products_name'], IMAGE_PRODUCT_NEW_WIDTH, IMAGE_PRODUCT_NEW_HEIGHT) . '</a><br />') . '<a href="' . zen_href_link(zen_get_info_page($new_products->fields['products_id']), 'cPath=' . $productsInCategory[$new_products->fields['products_id']] . '&products_id=' . $new_products->fields['products_id']) . '">' . $new_products->fields['products_name'] . '</a><br />' . $new_products->fields['products_model'] .$products_model .'<br />' .$products_price.'<br /><p>' ); 

with this:

if ( (($manufacturers_id > 0 && $_GET['filter_id'] == 0) || $_GET['music_genre_id'] > 0 || $_GET['record_company_id'] > 0) || (!isset($new_products_category_id) || $new_products_category_id == '0') ) {
  $new_products_query = "select distinct p.products_id, p.products_image, p.products_tax_class_id, pd.products_name,m.manufacturers_name, m.manufacturers_id,
                                p.products_date_added, p.products_price, p.products_type,  p.products_model,p.manufacturers_id,p.master_categories_id
                           from " . TABLE_PRODUCTS . " p, " . TABLE_PRODUCTS_DESCRIPTION . " pd, ".TABLE_MANUFACTURERS . " m
                           where p.products_id = pd.products_id
                           and p.manufacturers_id = m.manufacturers_id
                           and pd.language_id = '" . (int)$_SESSION['languages_id'] . "'
                           and   p.products_status = 1 " . $display_limit;
