You would need to clone the specials.php and the tpl_specials_default.php ... then find all of the files that call:
tpl_modules_specials_default.php are located to add your cloned version ...
And there is a trigger to run the specials ... example, in tpl_index_default.php you will see the code:
<?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, $current_page_base,'templates'). '/tpl_modules_specials_default.php'); ?>
<?php } ?>
If your cloned specials centerbox was using specials_default2 you could add:
<?php if ($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_default2.php',DIR_WS_TEMPLATE, $current_page_base,'templates'). '/tpl_modules_specials_default2.php'); ?>
<?php } ?>
And where this file uses this trigger for the specials to show or not:
SHOW_PRODUCT_INFO_MAIN_SPECIALS_PRODUCTS
You could technically use the same trigger if the two boxes were meant to always show together ... otherwise, you would need to make your own constant from:
SHOW_PRODUCT_INFO_MAIN_SPECIALS_PRODUCTS
to something like:
SHOW_PRODUCT_INFO_MAIN_SPECIALS_PRODUCTS2
And set that somewhere either in the database or a file to enable it ...
