Random Image or Random Products - Category Specific

nfc5382 · #31 06-22-2007, 06:51 PM

is there a mod to randomize the featured products? also to only randomize it every 24 hours or so? I hacked my featured products to sort by RAND but each page refresh causes the featured products to randomize. I keep it only b/c it keeps the main page changing.... however, i'd like a more user friendly randomizer for the featured products

Hey you say in the forum that you hacked the random function for the featured products.
How and where is that possible? I want to show random products on the featured products list limited by an number. It may change every time that's no problem

tnx

There's a problem with this mod. The quantity field is not filled with a number, by default. The user is unable to put the item in the shopping cart from the buy now button.

Any ideas to fix???

I see by your sig that you are using X-Cart version 4.1.x - if you look at the date of the original post, it was in 2005. This was intended for version 4.0.x - not 4.1.x....

OK. Sorry. So this mod is unsupported in 4.1.x

It seems to be a simple fix. Since it works in your ver 4.0.x. How hard is it to give the quantity field a number to add the item to the cart from the buy now button. Just exactly how the x-cart team did for the featured products - it should be the same for the random products.

Well - I agree but I have not had the time to look through this code again to make it work for 4.1.x.

In giving it a quick look the first thing that you need to look at is the product array that is being built and make sure that the "min_amount" has a value. The buy_now template uses this to determine what to do with qty. If "min_amount" is empty then you will need to look at the function used to do the search.

The value is already assigned at 1. The featured products uses the same buy now template as the random products.
