Salesmaker not show under Specials?

Please see my latest comment: https://www.numinix.com/blog/2010/10/23/how-to-show-salemaker-sales-on-the-specials-page/comment-page-1/#comment-5001.

Have you made other customizations to the specials listing? This code does work with ZC 1.5.1. Try using the developer's toolkit to find where this text is used:

select count(distinct *) as total FROM

Just wondering Numinix if your fix is fully compatible with Zen Cart 1.5.4. I would be really interested to know.

numinix:

This is really something that should be built into Zen Cart. To a customer, a special and a sale product are the exactly the same thing. They should both show under the specials page or in the specials centerbox. There needs to be a central place where you can show ALL sales and ALL specials on a single page.

Totally agree.

If you want to show the sales on the front page, use my "What's On Sale" contribution in the Free Software Add Ons at the top left of this page.

Hi,

Your plugin is great. Thank you.

I have just updated your to recent What's On Sale - Version: 1.2b.

As you can see from the attached,

they are showing in one single vertical list. How can I get it to show the same size images and layout as above?

I am using 1.5.5d zencart

You have a stylesheet called http://www.qbrands.com.au/qb/includes/templates/qbrands/css/stylesheet_product_list.css that is styling those items. You'd have to use the same stylesheet. But this should work correctly in the default responsive template in 1.5.5d if it hasn't been altered; this behavior is showing up because of your template.

In Responsive Classic Template, it is not even showing SALE items at all. It is only showing New Products For January etc.

You would have to install it there - creating these files (from files that are in /custom/ template in the contrib).

includes/templates/template_default/templates/tpl_modules_sale_products.php
includes/templates/template_default/templates/tpl_index_default.php
includes/modules/template_default/sales_index.php
includes/templates/template_default/common/tpl_sale_columnar_display.php

OK I understand now. Thank you.

At the end I gave up. Too much mucking around with the existing CSS and not knowing which CSS is to fix. And if I do find to fix then problem of will it effect the rest of the theme elsewhere .. Too much to risk. I'll have to get around in different way or take out altogether. Thanks for looking into it.

Thanks for looking into it.One of the reasons we did the Color Change mod was that the Responsive Classic grouped too many items into one css call. You found yourself changing colors in odd places when trying to color a heading in a side column.
This may have been part of your frustration.
If you really want to give it a try, use lat9's Clone a Template to clone the built-in template to your own then, use the Color Change mod to use your own colors and make adjustments easier.
You'll always have the original to fall back on for testing, etc.

Ajeh:

You could make a Category called: Sale

or something similar ...

Then you could use the Multiple Categories Link Manager to copy all of the Products from 1 Category to another as Linked Products ...

Then use the Multiple Categories Link Manager to set all Products in the Sale category to be the Master Category so that the Sale set in SaleMaker now works on these Products ...

After the Sale you can use the Multiple Categories Link Manager to reset the original Category as the Master Categories ID and then use the Multiple Categories Link Manager to unlink these Products from the Sale category ...

To get to the Multiple Categories Link Manager just find a Product and click on C for Copy and the link for Multiple Categories Link Manager ...

Ridiculously complicated. My simple (no coding) solution is this.

Add all Sale/Discounted/Special products in Featured Products as Featured Products.
List Featured Products in the index page.
leave title as is 'Featured Products'

...or change the title of 'Featured Products' in english.php to 'SALE of The Day'
end of story.
