Header Positions Problem

[kotp]

Things look odd ... perhaps I could peek in your Admin ... if so, how about a PM for URL and access ...

OK, you said things look odd... what other things were looking odd?

Well, I ran a test entry on the admin > layouts > Banner Display Groups - Side Box banner_box SideBox-Banners

When I changed the entry, the whole (right) column disappeared. I changed it back (cut and paste) to the previous default entry, and it stayed disappeared. It did appear when I went to login as a customer.

Found a problem that may be preventing the side banners from coming up...

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: zen_get_upcoming_date_range() in /home/customp3/public_html/shop/includes/modules/upcoming_products.php on line 15

The part where things were not logically working ... but that was resolved with the missing parens ...

This appeared to be an issue on the Banner Positions when more than one Banner Group was used as the emphasis on status = 1 what not set regardless of the Banner Group name ...

Took me a few to find that little quirk and why "some" things listened and others did not ...

Check that the /includes/functions/functions_lookup.php is up to date ... that function is located down near the bottom below the function zen_get_new_date_range ...

The patch that was in the fixes forum area? Yeah, that was when it broke.

Something is not right... I copy/pasted the replacement code.

Now I have this.

// build date range for new products
  function zen_get_new_date_range($time_limit = false) {
    if ($time_limit == false) {
      $time_limit = SHOW_NEW_PRODUCTS_LIMIT;
    }

    // 120 days; 24 hours; 60 mins; 60secs
    $date_range = time() - ($time_limit * 24 * 60 * 60);
// echo 'Now:      '. date('Y-m-d') ."<br />";
// echo $time_limit . ' Days: '. date('Ymd', $date_range) ."<br />";
    $zc_new_date = date('Ymd', $date_range);
    switch (true) {
    case (SHOW_NEW_PRODUCTS_LIMIT == 0):
      $new_range = '';
      break;
    case (SHOW_NEW_PRODUCTS_LIMIT == 1):
      $zc_new_date = date('Ym', time()) . '01';
      $new_range = ' and p.products_date_added >=' . $zc_new_date;
      break;
    default:
      $new_range = ' and p.products_date_added >=' . $zc_new_date;
    }
    return $new_range;
  } 

for that block of code.

Be sure that you deleted the old function completely and replaced it with the new one ...

If you are unsure ... restore the original file:
/includes/functions/functions_lookups.php

from a clean Zen Cart v1.3.5 download ... and then replace that function again ...

Yep, with the original code, I have the problem with all products showing as new, but the right side column works. When I put in the 'fix' code, it breaks.

The right side column disappears.

It looks like you are wiping out the function below the function zen_get_new_date_range ...

There is another function before the end of the file:

// build date range for upcoming products
  function zen_get_upcoming_date_range() {
    // 120 days; 24 hours; 60 mins; 60secs
    $date_range = time();
// echo 'Now:      '. date('Y-m-d') ."<br />";
// echo 'Upcoming Days: '. date('Ymd', $date_range) ."<br />";
    $zc_new_date = date('Ymd', $date_range);
    $new_range = ' and p.products_date_available >=' . $zc_new_date;
//    $new_range = ' and ' . EXPECTED_PRODUCTS_FIELD . ' <=' . $zc_new_date;

    return $new_range;
  } 

Don't touch that function ...

Only change the function zen_get_new_date_range with the new function ...

You are correct. I read too much into the "at the bottom" of the code.

It is fixed.

Thanks for the update and glad all of the code is functioning correctly for you on both the banners and the New Product dates ...
