just installed 1.2 version but still not work. i guess it can't work for zen cart 1.5.1

It works fine on 1.5.1.

there is no problem with the zip file. I just downloaded it again. It is fine.

hi nicole, yes i got the file then installed ...can u pls teach me whats wrong with my installation...may be i am have some steps wrong

Yes, I will :-) But now I can't. I will answer you more fully this evening. ( I am guessing you are in Europe too )

It helps if you can post a URL to your site.

And any other modules that you are using .

i found these log errors :
PHP Warning: trim() expects parameter 1 to be string, array given in /home/webusers/carousel301/carousel301.com/www/admin/ezpages.php on line 140
PHP Warning: addslashes() expects parameter 1 to be string, array given in /home/webusers/carousel301/carousel301.com/www/admin/includes/functions/database.php on line 65

OK . Those errors are not great but they do not have anything to do with SNAF.

So, I am not 100% sure why you are getting that. If you send me a PM then we will talk about it by email. Please put an email address in the PM. You will need to replace the @ with 'at' because otherwise the forum will hide the email address.

As a matter of interest and without going off topic for long, I too have been getting this error log a few times over the last few days. Could it be to do with refreshing the page (developer toolkit results page) after admin has timed out? ZC 1.5.1
I don't know but just a possibility?

No, that won't be the reason.

It will be an encoding issue ( black magic )

Basically that line of code is checking a line of code. Yeah, that is right. Convoluted but right.

You could read http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3803951/htmlspecialchars-invalid-multibyte-sequence-in-argument for a bit more info. And it looks like there is an issue in the way it is handled on more recent versions of php.

So, I would guess it has to do with some strangeness in some of your language defines perhaps and the encoding and the odd behaviour of htmlentitiies.

Beyond that - off topic :-)

hi,
would it be simple to add this to the featured centrebox shown below products

if so what files would i look at

thanks
Bryan

Hi Bryan,

Not so hard.

You could look at single listing template and see how that module handles it.

Off the top of my head you are going to look at

includes/templates/yours/templates/tpl_modules_featured_products_default.php

and

includes/templates/modules/featured_products.php

Depending on how rushed you are I will work through it with you but to be honest that just is not going to happen for a couple of weeks :-)

hi Nick,
my problem solved by rename the configure.snaf.php...thanks for such kindly help.
the layout runs nice on my page thanks again

@Carousel.

great! I am glad you got it working.

IS this compatible with column_layout_grid_2_3_1, flexible_product_listing1_0 & Dynamic Filter?

It replaces column grid and does quite a lot of extra stuff.

Flexible product listing - not sure. Doesn't that just let you adjust the contents of the cells when you are in 'row' mode? If so then why would you want it if you are in 'column' mode. I am really asking a question here rather than being snooty :-)

Dynamic Filter - I think so because I have sites that use both but can't remember if I needed to adjust anything. I'd have to look at that. I think that if you want dynamic filter on specials, featured, new and all then it might need some tweaking.

Kevin, I know that you have those mods installed already and to be honest have never tried to simply overwrite them with this mod. Which is probably due to the fact that I wrote this one so always just use it.

Flexible product listing - not sure. Doesn't that just let you adjust the contents of the cells when you are in 'row' mode? If so then why would you want it if you are in 'column' mode. I am really asking a question here rather than being snooty :-)
You never are.

Reason why I used this mod was because it was easier to change / move around the description, prices and etc.

Dynamic Filter - I think so because I have sites that use both but can't remember if I needed to adjust anything. I'd have to look at that. I think that if you want dynamic filter on specials, featured, new and all then it might need some tweaking.
It would be great to have the dynamic filter, but if it's not functional it is not that important as there are not that many New, Special and or Featured products!

But I would love to see the New, Special and or Featured pages column-wise vs. just seeing them as rows.

Thanks Nick.

Well, if you have a test site I'd try just overwriting what you have with this but I suspect that that might cause a bit of mess. So, I definitely would not do that on a live site.

The proper way to do it would be to uninstall flexible product listing because I don't think you need it if you are using columns rather than rows. Then uninstall column grid. Then uninstall dynamic filter. Then install SNAF. Then re-install dynamic filter and see what happened.

I seem to remember that dynamic filter makes changes to includes/index_filters/default_filter.php which would need to be merged with SNAF. ( Or you could use the dynamic filter version of it and disable the dropdown filters in SNAF ) So, yes I think that the two mods are going to need a bit of work to play nice together.

I will take that route. Thank you.

not to bring up a "sore" or "old" issue but:

I think their may be a security issue with the zip file in the download section not only did I get the following error:

\installationFiles\YOUR_ADMIN . . . . . . . blah, blah, blah is either a read only,system, or hidden file.

and

\installationFiles\includes . . . . . blah, blah, blah is either a read only,system, or hidden file.

and

also requires a PASSWORD

however I did download from this thread and all worked.
