Additional Multiple Featured Products for Front Page

[Green Books]

Hi,

I have installed this module without any error. But either can I call out the Additional Multiple Featured Products 2, 3, 4 or seeing any extra boxes in Admin> Catalog > Featured Products("Popular Books" in my case).



My problem is very similar to Picci in P.3 #25, but it is sure that I'd uploaded all the files. And I believe that my SQL is correctly executed, too.

Here is the code of my tpl_index_default.php
includes > templates > YOURTEMPLATE > templates > tpl_index_default.php

<div class="centerColumn" id="indexDefault">
<!--
<h1 id="indexDefaultHeading"><?php echo HEADING_TITLE; ?></h1>

<?php if (SHOW_CUSTOMER_GREETING == 1) { ?>
<?php echo zen_customer_greeting(); ?>
<?php } ?>

<?php if (TEXT_MAIN) { ?>
<div id="" class="content"><?php echo TEXT_MAIN; ?></div>
<?php } ?>
-->
<!-- deprecated - to use uncomment this section
<?php if (TEXT_INFORMATION) { ?>
<div id="" class="content"><?php echo TEXT_INFORMATION; ?></div>
<?php } ?>-->

<?php if (DEFINE_MAIN_PAGE_STATUS >= 1 and DEFINE_MAIN_PAGE_STATUS <= 2) { ?>
<?php
/**
 * get the Define Main Page Text
 */
?>
<div id="indexDefaultMainContent" class="content"><?php require($define_page); ?></div>
<?php } ?>

<!-- Home Page Banners -->
<?php

  if (SHOW_BANNERS_GROUP_SET2 != '' && $banner = zen_banner_exists('dynamic', SHOW_BANNERS_GROUP_SET2)) {
    if ($banner->RecordCount() > 0) {
?>
<div id="bannerTwo" class="banners"><?php echo zen_display_banner('static', $banner); ?></div>
<?php
    }
  }
?>

<?php
  if (SHOW_BANNERS_GROUP_SET3 != '' && $banner = zen_banner_exists('dynamic', SHOW_BANNERS_GROUP_SET3)) {
    if ($banner->RecordCount() > 0) {
?>
<div id="bannerThree" class="banners"><?php echo zen_display_banner('static', $banner); ?></div>
<?php
    }
  }
?>
<!-- /Home Page Banners -->


<?php
  $show_display_category = $db->Execute(SQL_SHOW_PRODUCT_INFO_MAIN);
  while (!$show_display_category->EOF) {
?>

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


<?php if ($show_display_category->fields['configuration_key'] == 'SHOW_PRODUCT_INFO_MAIN_FEATURED_PRODUCTS_TWO') { ?>
<?php
/**

?>
<?php require($template->get_template_dir('tpl_modules_featured_products2.php',DIR_WS_TEMPLATE, $current_page_base,'templates'). '/tpl_modules_featured_products2.php'); ?>
<?php } ?>


<?php if ($show_display_category->fields['configuration_key'] == 'SHOW_PRODUCT_INFO_MAIN_FEATURED_PRODUCTS_THREE') { ?>
<?php
/**
 * display the Featured Products Three Center Box
 */
?>
<?php require($template->get_template_dir('tpl_modules_featured_products3.php',DIR_WS_TEMPLATE, $current_page_base,'templates'). '/tpl_modules_featured_products3.php'); ?>
<?php } ?>

<?php if ($show_display_category->fields['configuration_key'] == 'SHOW_PRODUCT_INFO_MAIN_FEATURED_PRODUCTS_FOUR') { ?>
<?php
/**
 * display the Featured Products Four Center Box
 */
?>
<?php require($template->get_template_dir('tpl_modules_featured_products4.php',DIR_WS_TEMPLATE, $current_page_base,'templates'). '/tpl_modules_featured_products4.php'); ?>
<?php } ?>





<?php if ($show_display_category->fields['configuration_key'] == 'SHOW_PRODUCT_INFO_MAIN_FEATUREDCL1_PRODUCTS') { ?>
<?php
/**

 */
?>
<?php require($template->get_template_dir('tpl_modules_featuredcl1_products.php',DIR_WS_TEMPLATE, $current_page_base,'templates'). '/tpl_modules_featuredcl1_products.php'); ?>
<?php } ?>



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

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

<?php if ($show_display_category->fields['configuration_key'] == 'SHOW_PRODUCT_INFO_MAIN_UPCOMING') { ?>
<?php
/**
 * display the Upcoming Products Center Box
 */
?>
<?php include(DIR_WS_MODULES . zen_get_module_directory(FILENAME_UPCOMING_PRODUCTS)); ?><?php } ?>


<?php
  $show_display_category->MoveNext();
} // !EOF
?>
</div>

The only file I'm not 100% sure is the "BOXES" folder. Should I paste it inside "Functions" or "Modules" instead of: YOURADMIN > includes > boxes ...?



Hope someone could tell me what I have messed up with.
Thank You!!

[Green Books]

Finally got it!!

First, I would like to share some tips.
1.) Use both file from ksookma and bn17311(in #39)
2.) If you are using v1.5.1 or above version, pls run the SQL code bn17311 provided in #68.
(Or you may not see the new added bar Featured Products Two, Featured Products Three, Featured Products Four in Admin > Catalog)

You should get the module correctly installed right now.


Second, I believe someone may need this.
So, below is my adjustment to the code.

Force the "static center-box" to scroll :

STEP 1)
includes/templates/YOURTEMPLATE/templates/tpl_modules_featured_products2.php
includes/templates/YOURTEMPLATE/templates/tpl_modules_featured_products3.php
includes/templates/YOURTEMPLATE/templates/tpl_modules_featured_products4.php


In file tpl_modules_featured_products 2, 3, 4 ,
change this

<div class="centerBoxWrapper" id="featuredProducts"> 

to this

<div class="centerBoxWrapper carousel-box" id="featuredProducts"> 

Then, in the same files,
change this

  require($template->get_template_dir('tpl_columnar_display.php',DIR_WS_TEMPLATE, $current_page_base,'common'). '/tpl_columnar_display.php'); 

to this

  require($template->get_template_dir('tpl_carousel_display.php',DIR_WS_TEMPLATE, $current_page_base,'common'). '/tpl_carousel_display.php'); 

STEP 2)
includes/modules/YOURTEMPLATE/featured_products_two.php
includes/modules/YOURTEMPLATE/featured_products_three.php
includes/modules/YOURTEMPLATE/featured_products_four.php


In file featured_products two, three, four,

change this (Line #71-72)

$list_box_contents[$row][$col] = array('params' =>'class="centerBoxContentsFeatured centeredContent back"' . ' ' . 'style="width:' . $col_width . '%;"',
    'text' => (($featured_products->fields['products_image'] == '' and PRODUCTS_IMAGE_NO_IMAGE_STATUS == 0) ? '' : '<a href="' . zen_href_link(zen_get_info_page($featured_products->fields['products_id']), 'cPath=' . $productsInCategory[$featured_products->fields['products_id']] . '&products_id=' . $featured_products->fields['products_id']) . '">' . zen_image(DIR_WS_IMAGES . $featured_products->fields['products_image'], $featured_products->fields['products_name'], IMAGE_FEATURED_PRODUCTS_LISTING_WIDTH, IMAGE_FEATURED_PRODUCTS_LISTING_HEIGHT) . '</a><br />') . '<a href="' . zen_href_link(zen_get_info_page($featured_products->fields['products_id']), 'cPath=' . $productsInCategory[$featured_products->fields['products_id']] . '&products_id=' . $featured_products->fields['products_id']) . '">' . $featured_products->fields['products_name'] . '</a><br />' . $products_price); 

to this

$list_box_contents[$row][$col] = array('params' => 'class="centerBoxContentsFeatured float-left ' . $additional_class . '"' . ' ' . 'style="width:' . $col_width . '%;"',
    'text' => (($featured_products->fields['products_image'] == '' and PRODUCTS_IMAGE_NO_IMAGE_STATUS == 0) ? '' : '<div class="columnar-product-info"><div class="columnar-product-img"><a href="' . zen_href_link(zen_get_info_page($featured_products->fields['products_id']), 'cPath=' . $productsInCategory[$featured_products->fields['products_id']] . '&products_id=' . $featured_products->fields['products_id']) . '">' . zen_image(DIR_WS_IMAGES . $featured_products->fields['products_image'], $featured_products->fields['products_name'], IMAGE_PRODUCT_NEW_WIDTH, IMAGE_PRODUCT_NEW_HEIGHT) . '</a></div>') . '<div class="product-box-name"><a href="' . zen_href_link(zen_get_info_page($featured_products->fields['products_id']), 'cPath=' . $productsInCategory[$featured_products->fields['products_id']] . '&products_id=' . $featured_products->fields['products_id']) . '">' . substr($featured_products->fields['products_name'], 0, 22) . (strlen($featured_products->fields['products_name']) > 22 ? "..." : "") . '</a></div>' . $products_price . '</div><a class="detail-link" href="' . zen_href_link(zen_get_info_page($featured_products->fields['products_id']), 'cPath=' . $productsInCategory[$featured_products->fields['products_id']] . '&products_id=' . $featured_products->fields['products_id']) . '">'. DETAIL_LINK .'</a>'); 

STEP 3)
Done, congratulations!
