What would be the best way to have 2 sets of featured products on the front page??
I was thinking spliting the products onto multiple rows BUT
take a look at the homepage at www.shoppingchanneluk.com the second row of products i have setup to select products from 'Featured Merchants' and will randomly select the products
I have figured out how to add reviews, and toggle to stars if reviews exist
what i can not figure out is how to add the price, and toggle to a from price if the products is carried by multiple merchants
if it helps here is the code i have used so far:
print "<table width='100%' border='0' cellspacing='5' cellpadding='0'>";
print "<tr>";
$sql = "SELECT * FROM `".$config_databaseTablePrefix."products` WHERE merchant = 'Cadbury Gifts Direct' OR merchant='comet' OR merchant='24 Electric' ORDER BY RAND() LIMIT 4";
database_querySelect($sql,$products);
foreach($products as $product)
{
if ($product["image_url"])
{
$productHREF = $config_baseHREF."product/".str_replace(" ","-",$product["name"]).".html";
print "<td align='center'>";
print "<a href='".$productHREF."' ><img width='80' border=0 src='".$product["image_url"]."' alt='".$product["name"] ."' /></a><br>";
print "<font size=2> <a href='".$productHREF."'> ".$product["name"]."</a><br>";
//print $config_currencyHTML.$product["price"]." <br /></font>\n";
?>
<small><br>
<?php if ($product["reviews"]): ?>
<?php print tapestry_stars($product["rating"],"s"); ?>
<a href='<?php print "review/".tapestry_hyphenate($product["name"]).".html"; ?>'><?php print $product["reviews"]." ".translate("Reviews"); ?></a>
<?php else: ?>
<a href='<?php print "review/".tapestry_hyphenate($product["name"]).".html"; ?>'><?php print translate("Review This Product"); ?></a>
<?php endif; ?>
</small><br>
<?php
print "</td>";
}
else
{
print "<td> </td>";
}
}
print "</tr>";
print "</table>";hi searley,
this is a good mod. i tried it on the latest version of PT buit nothing seems to be happening.
is this compatible with the latest release?
this can be a seperate mod something like "random products"

Hi atman,
If you're seeing nothing it probably means that there were no rows returned by the query, so you need to investigate the SQL.
To debug this, instead of just:
database_querySelect($sql,$products);use...
$numRows = database_querySelect($sql,$products);
print "Featured Products matched ".$numRows." rows using SQL: ".$sql;If that shows 0 products, look at the merchant names and verify that they really are in your database...
Cheers,
David.
Do you actually want 2 distinct sets of products, or just to split the featured products onto multiple rows?
