Catagories listed under new products

[Poidas]

Hello

Could some help me please.

I have set catagories in admin to show on main page but i have lost the welcome notes at the top.

I am trying to have the standard layout with New products grouped below the welcome, after that i would like the lists of the catagory shown.

If you look at my site i have the listing shown and like it. But i would like to show the "New Products for May" back at the top with the welcome text above
http://www.7vinyls.com

If i go back to the standard layout, how do i just add these catagory items now at the top, to go below?

Hope you know what im talking about!!!

Loving this zen thingy...

You will need to edit includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/templates/tpl_index_product_list.php:

Assuming you haven't edited it already and your using ZenCart version 1.3.7, you will need to cut out this part:

<?php
  if ($show_display_category->fields['configuration_key'] == 'SHOW_PRODUCT_INFO_MISSING_NEW_PRODUCTS') { ?>
<?php
/**
 * display the New Products Center Box
 */
?>
<?php require($template->get_template_dir('tpl_modules_whats_new.php',DIR_WS_TEMPLATE, $current_page_base,'templates'). '/tpl_modules_whats_new.php'); ?>
<?php } ?>

And put it before line 84:

<?php
/**
 * require the code for listing products
 */
 require($template->get_template_dir('tpl_modules_product_listing.php', DIR_WS_TEMPLATE, $current_page_base,'templates'). '/' . 'tpl_modules_product_listing.php');
?>

Here is the complete revised file:

Hi
Thanks for your reply


I have turned off the Main Page - Opens with Category so the greeting shows up and the new products box.

I did what you said above but the catagory listing doesnt show up.

I tried it with Main Page - Opens with Category turned on and off but nothing has really changed

Thanks
Poida

[Poidas]

Would anyone else have any ideas to fix this?
I have gone back to the standard layhout with the greeting etc on the top. I want to add the catagory list after the New products

If you click on the main Catagory (7inch Vinyl New) The list view is what i am after to show under the "New Items for MAY" on the basic home page

Any help would be appreciated

You should be able to create another temp ftp account but nevertheless ... above I believe I posted the modified file for you. I'll look it over and get back to you today.

Sorry mate. But there is a deadly bug in your shop that kills IE7. Do the following:

Add a item to your basket when not logged in
The select Estimate Shipping
Select a different country than Australia
The select State / Province

Voila! Bang goes IE7


UPDATE

Actually this happens on my site as well, so it looks to be a BIG bug in Zencart.

Tested site/s using IE7...
No fault or bug present...
ZenCart working fine
