1) Is there a way to not show "Bestsellers" on the whats new page if you have it enabled?
2) Also yes I can make the 'Whats New' category look different, but what if I want 2 more other categories to be up there with the 'Whats New' that look the same as it?
3) Can you make the 'Whas New' category specific for products?
4) Can you make it show products in a 3 column matrix if your main settings are set to just list products?
5) Is there anyway to give this category a description?

Too many questions :) I begin with the end))

edit modules/Whats_New/module.php

find there

Code:

    $current_category["category_location"][] = array(func_get_langvar_by_name("lbl_wnmod_title"), "home.php?WhatsNew=Y");

and replace with

Code:

    $current_category["category_location"][] = array(func_get_langvar_by_name("lbl_wnmod_title"), "home.php?WhatsNew=Y");



# this is  5)

    $current_category["description"] = "description here"; 

  

#this is 4)

$config["Appearance"]["products_per_row"] = 3;

$config["Appearance"]["featured_only_multicolumn"] = 'N';

$smarty->assign("config", $config);

1) Do you mean Bestsellers menu or dialog?
2) You need add the same class with 'Whats new' category to all root categories with orderid lite then certain value in skin1/customer/categories.tpl
3) Can you make the 'Whas New' category specific for products - for example?

Re: Free "What's New?" X-Cart module released!

Re: Free "What's New?" X-Cart module released!

Found an issue. When I have just added over 70,000 products at once to the store, I get an error in IE and FF where the popup showing new items since last visited. When I try to click "x" or new products to view them on that small popup window, it just keeps showing the same and never shows the main layout of the site or anything. Also does this mod add alot to the index.php as far as load? Please let me know. Thanks

Re: Free "What's New?" X-Cart module released!

Sorry to add to the question craze. But if I'm updating strictly instock and out of stock lvls using a .csv import it adds all the products to What's New. Is there anyway to disable this from happening?

Thanks again,

NM found a way around it.

Hey Victor,

Thanks for the great mod ! Quick question, how can I change the size of the bubble and the font size/type of the text inside? I assume it's in Whats_New.tpl but I don't want to break anything.

Thanks again

mrerotic

08-24-2009 02:52 PM

Re: Free "What's New?" X-Cart module released!

Hey victor any updates on my post?

Also is there anyway to show only products that have an image? And again maybe only products from a certain category example (114 - dvds)?

Thanks,
Kyle

PHP6 is in development so I didn't attend you to switch to it. I'm just happy with it.

Seems something wrong with your cookies. There are no changes required in your config.php

Just clean all the cookies for your store and try place the bubble code one more time

mrerotic
I'm not ready to explain about bestsellers dialog placement right now.

Quote:

2) whats orderid lite?

Categories are sorted by their orderids
So you can add specific class for the categories with the orderid less then 40 for example

Quote:

3) Can you make the 'Whas New' category specific for products?
Say for 'dvds' only catid '433'?

modules/Whats_New/products.php

Code:

$search_data["products"]["categoryid"] = 0; #place 433 (your catid) here instead of zero

lines 33,34 of whats_new.tpl:

Code:

popup_top = round(viewportheight/2) - 23; //23 - half of the height

popup_left = round(viewportwidth/2) - 178;  //178 - half of the width

and lines 85,86

Code:

newdiv.style.height = '36px';

newdiv.style.width = '356px';

You need to change height and width of the background image as well

Add into your css file to change font size/color:

Code:

#bubble{font-size:12px}

#bubble a:link, #bubble a:visited, #bubble a:hover, #bubble a:active{color:#cccccc;}

Re: Free "What's New?" X-Cart module released!

Victor this happens on the homepage. I'm not displaying any 'whats new' products on the homepage. They are in a category. If you dont mind as well I have the same question as the other who posted in the wrong forum. How can you display a certain number of 'whats new' on the homepage and again maybe from a certain category?

Victor D

08-25-2009 10:55 PM

Re: Free "What's New?" X-Cart module released!

to display the first page of new products on the homepage
/modules/Whats_New/module.php
replace

Code:

if ($WhatsNew == "Y"){

    if ($config["Whats_New"]["cheat"]) $products=array();

    include $xcart_dir."/products.php";

    $config["Whats_New"]["products"] = $total_items;

    

    $smarty->clear_assign("f_products");

    $smarty->assign("navigation_script", "home.php?WhatsNew=Y");



    $smarty->clear_assign("sort_fields");

    $smarty->clear_assign("products_sort_url");

    $current_category["category_location"][] = array(func_get_langvar_by_name("lbl_wnmod_title"), "home.php?WhatsNew=Y");

}

with

Code:

if ($WhatsNew == "Y"){

    if ($config["Whats_New"]["cheat"]) $products=array();

    include $xcart_dir."/products.php";

    $config["Whats_New"]["products"] = $total_items;

    

    $smarty->clear_assign("f_products");

    $smarty->assign("navigation_script", "home.php?WhatsNew=Y");



    $smarty->clear_assign("sort_fields");

    $smarty->clear_assign("products_sort_url");

    $current_category["category_location"][] = array(func_get_langvar_by_name("lbl_wnmod_title"), "home.php?WhatsNew=Y");

} elseif ($cat==0){

    if ($config["Whats_New"]["cheat"]) $products=array();

    include $xcart_dir."/products.php";

    $config["Whats_New"]["products"] = $total_items;



    $current_category["category_location"][] = array(func_get_langvar_by_name("lbl_wnmod_title"), "home.php?WhatsNew=Y");

}

and add into your skin1/customer/main/welcome.tpl

Code:

{capture name=dialog}

{include file="customer/main/products.tpl"}

{/capture}

{include file="customer/dialog.tpl" title=$lng.lbl_products content=`$smarty.capture.dialog` products_sort_url="home.php?cat=`$cat`&"}

That's right, but when you clicking the bubble it tries to search for all the products since last visit (70000)

Yes, it doesn't affect the category. Moreover, if you need to remove category you should take some more actions (described in this thread a few pages ago)

Re: Free "What's New?" X-Cart module released!

Thank you for the great mod! It installed easy and I had no troubles getting it to work. Not really happy that when I add it to the front page it looks like a category page so I think I will take that back off, but other than that it does exactly what it should do. Thank you for making it such a simple and quick install :)

Re: Free "What's New?" X-Cart module released!

I love this module. It's been running great, but I got a couple of SQL errors in the last day or so. Maybe someone could shed a little light on them for me...

Code:

SQL query   : select count(*) from xcart_products where add_date > 1251517824, $Version=0 and add_date < 1251517825

    Error code  : 1064

    Description : You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near ' $Version=0 and add_date < 1251517825' at line 1 Request URI: /product.php

Re: Free "What's New?" X-Cart module released!

Shouldnt this query be:
-----------------------
select count(*) from xcart_products where add_date > 1251517824 AND add_date < 1251517825

This should fix that. I don't know where $Version came into play.

Re: Free "What's New?" X-Cart module released!

Is it possible to use this mod twice on the website? I'm not interested in using the popup notification of how many new products have been added, but rather having one area for new dvds and another for new toys. Is this doable?

Thanks

Re: Free "What's New?" X-Cart module released!

i am not using the default menu so i can't view the link to "New products" but i want to add it on my menu. I saw on the other sites that use the mode that they use the "?cat=0&WhatsNew=Y" to go to that category.

So i am trying the http://www.gsmcorner.gr/?cat=0&WhatsNew=Y but doesn't work. Any idea?

Re: Free "What's New?" X-Cart module released!

Hi Victor,

I've read through this whole thread and it seems I am having the same problems as some fo the others. When I first installed this mod, the new category showed up and I have some new products on my home page. Great I think....but I have since added new products and they are not registering on neither the New category page nor the home page. I am not using the bubble portion of the mod. I have already tried changing the days of the new products but that did nothing.

Can you help please? Thanks for the mod and the support.

Regard, Dorothy

Hello.

we have 4.2.2
several time try to install automatically and manually both time need to run wn-install.php and on form first screen if click processed next page can not be found.

This happened with automatic installation however all permition were set correctly.

If I try to install manual I still need SQL pass and it is not provided in zip file.

With manual installation if you help me with sql do I really need to run installation file?

thank you for your help.

The solution is now available!

Just imagine - you are able:

to create a virtual "New products" category shows all products added last week (month, quarter or any other time period);
to have a personal pop-up notification to inform a particular customer about new products appear since his last visit.

This solution is FREE!

X-Cart-Customization.com team is glad to announce the "What's New?" module.

http://x-cart-customization.com/images/P/wnbox-200x260.png

Features:

Javascript popup with a number of products added since last customer visit.
Virtual "What's New" category with products added to your store within the specified time period.
Both 4.1 and 4.2 X-Cart branches compatibility.
Totally FREE!
Completely open source! Feel free to modify.
