Hello David,
i work since days on a script who shows me the 5 newest products on the main page like as the featerd products, but for my left frame, where is now the ad from amazon.
I took the 5 latest entries from the database, but nothing happend :)
Have you any idea?
Thanks a lot, Peter
Hi Peter,
What code did you use? It should probably be something like this:
<?php$sqlNames = array();
$sql = "SELECT name FROM `".$config_databaseTablePrefix."products` ORDER BY id DESC LIMIT 5";
database_querySelect($sql,$rows);
foreach($rows as $row)
{
$sqlNames[] = $row["name"];
}
$sqlIn = implode(",",$sqlNames);
$sql = "SELECT * , MIN( price ) AS minPrice, MAX( price ) AS maxPrice, COUNT( id ) AS numMerchants FROM `".$config_databaseTablePrefix."products` WHERE name IN (".$sqlIn.") GROUP BY name";
database_querySelect($sql,$rows);
$featured["products"] = $rows;
foreach($featured["products"] as $k => $product)
{
if ($config_useRewrite)
{
$featured["products"][$k]["productHREF"] = "product/".tapestry_hyphenate($product["name"]).".html";
$featured["products"][$k]["reviewHREF"] = "review/".tapestry_hyphenate($product["name"]).".html";
}
else
{
$featured["products"][$k]["productHREF"] = "products.php?q=".urlencode($product["name"]);
$featured["products"][$k]["reviewHREF"] = "reviews.php?q=".urlencode($product["name"]);
}
}
require("html/featured.php");
?>
