Default Specials Page

[nrg77]

Did you see the correction to the code one step above?

Yes I did....Please note that it is not giving me any syntax error or any error. It just doesn't show the products. But I know it is enabled since the specials do show in the sideboxes....

Ok, I think I remember having this issue too!

instead of Step 1. I listed, do the below.

In the original file of includes/modules/pages/specials/main_template_vars.php, replace this:

  $num_products_count = $specials->RecordCount();
  if ($num_products_count) {
    if ($num_products_count < SHOW_PRODUCT_INFO_COLUMNS_SPECIALS_PRODUCTS || SHOW_PRODUCT_INFO_COLUMNS_SPECIALS_PRODUCTS==0 ) {
      $col_width = floor(100/$num_products_count);
    } else {
      $col_width = floor(100/SHOW_PRODUCT_INFO_COLUMNS_SPECIALS_PRODUCTS);
    }

with this:

 $num_products_count = $specials->RecordCount();
 
  if ($num_products_count ==0) {
	$col_width=0;
  } else {
    if ($num_products_count < SHOW_PRODUCT_INFO_COLUMNS_SPECIALS_PRODUCTS || SHOW_PRODUCT_INFO_COLUMNS_SPECIALS_PRODUCTS==0 ) {
      $col_width = floor(100/$num_products_count);
    } else {
      $col_width = floor(100/SHOW_PRODUCT_INFO_COLUMNS_SPECIALS_PRODUCTS);
    }
  }

      $col_width = floor(100/SHOW_PRODUCT_INFO_COLUMNS_SPECIALS_PRODUCTS);
    }

    } else {
      $col_width = floor(100/SHOW_PRODUCT_INFO_COLUMNS_SPECIALS_PRODUCTS);
    }
  }

Now I get the opposite effect. The specials now show up but when I disable the specials, I don't get any text message anymore....

Third times a charm (hopefully)... try this chunk instead:

 $num_products_count = $specials->RecordCount();
 
  if ($num_products_count ==0) {
	$col_width=0;
  } else {
    if ($num_products_count < SHOW_PRODUCT_INFO_COLUMNS_SPECIALS_PRODUCTS || SHOW_PRODUCT_INFO_COLUMNS_SPECIALS_PRODUCTS==0 ) {
      $col_width = floor(100/$num_products_count);
    } else {
      $col_width = floor(100/SHOW_PRODUCT_INFO_COLUMNS_SPECIALS_PRODUCTS);
    }
  }

Still no text.....weird....

That's working on my test sites... you made the other changes (step 2 and 3) from the first page of this thread right?

Yes, I made all the changes.

[jettrue]

Yes, I made all the changes.

Then I'm not sure what else to advise, except to check and double check its all been uploaded, the changes are made in the right template folder, etc.

The one thing I did noticed though is that you have equal amount of opening and closing braces in your code snippet. When I go to paste your exact code into the file, it won't work as it "claims" to have one too many so I had to delete one from yours.

That suggests to me that something is wrong or it already is missing one brace....However, why didn't it throw a syntax error....

If that was the case, it effects many others, not just me....

[nrg77]

To add to what I just said, I refer back to the post where that person also experienced what I experienced as well. So I started counting the braces and yours is correct 4 open 4 close. So he too deleted one from yours thinking you put one too many but that is not the case...
