Best Sellers on Static Page
 

I want to create a static page that lists the best sellers, but the items aren't showing up. I assume that a tweak needs to be made to the bestsellers.php file, but I have no idea where to begin. Has anyone done this before?

My static page is using this code:

{if $active_modules.Bestsellers ne "" and $config.Bestsellers.bestsellers_menu ne "Y"}
{include file="modules/Bestsellers/bestsellers.tpl"}
{/if}

Version 4.1.8

Thanks!

This should do the trick.

Open pages.php

FIND:

Code:

---

# Assign the current location line
$smarty->assign("location", $location);

---

BEFORE ADD:

Code:

---

if ($active_modules["Bestsellers"])
include $xcart_dir."/modules/Bestsellers/bestsellers.php";

---

In your static page use:

Code:

---

{if $active_modules.Bestsellers ne ""}
{include file="modules/Bestsellers/bestsellers.tpl"}
{else}
Provide a disabled message.
{/if}

Thank You, nice addon...

Is there a way to have this show additional Best Sellers on this page with the sidebox remaining at the amount set in admin?

Hi Jon,
I'm using this tip, but the "best sellers" are displaying in 1 single column. Any suggestions, on how to make them display 3 across?

Any help would be greatly appreciated =)
Thanks, Becky

Not sure off hand but you could try:

[code]
{if $active_modules.Bestsellers ne ""}
{include file="customer/main/products_t.tpl" products=$bestsellers}
{else}
Provide a disabled message.
{/if}
[/code[
