I get this error when I click on any Products added since: variant

Warning: Smarty error: math ``x/y'' in ``customer/home.tpl'': parameter ``y'' is empty in /home/xxxxx/public_html/demo/Smarty-2.6.12/Smarty.class.php on line 1095

Can anyone help

Works well now

The patch in the func file did the trick

thanks

Just noticed that the product short description does not show
Would be great if it did

OK, it all seems to be working fine.... except...

When I click on "New Products Added: 24 Hours" on the newproducts page I get the by now familiar "Warning: array_slice() [function.array-slice]: The first argument should be an array in /home/xxxx/public_html/xcart/newproducts.php on line 153" error. Is anyone else also getting this error?

My bad... I accidentally replace newproducts.php with the original upgraded version. When I used the latest one it worked fine. Just to make sure no one else has the same problem I have uploaded the latest version.

I love this mod but it wasn't set up for 4.1.x versions of xcart so I tried to make it work with my 4.1.8. I have it set to show new products added within the last 90 days on the home page only. Here is what I have so far:

1. Create file newest.php in the xcat home directory.

PHP Code:

<?php
#
# $Id: newest.php 2007/07/22 $
#
// set variables
$daterange = 7776000; // 60 * 60 * 24 * 90 days in unix time
$nowtime = time();
$oldtime = $nowtime - $daterange ;
 
# Get new products data and store it into $newproducts array
#
if ( !defined('XCART_START') ) { header("Location: home.php"); die("Access denied"); }
#
# Select from products table
#
$user_account['membershipid'] = !empty($user_account['membershipid'])?$user_account['membershipid']:0;
$old_search_data = $search_data["products"];
$old_mode = $mode;
$old_page = $page;
$search_data["products"] = array();
$search_data["products"]["forsale"] = "Y";
$search_data["products"]["avail"] = "> 0";
$search_data["products"]["add_date"] = "> " . $oldtime . "";
$search_data["products"]["add_date"] = "< " . $nowtime . "";
$search_data["products"]["sort_condition"] = "$sql_tbl[products].add_date DESC";
$REQUEST_METHOD = "GET";
$mode = "search";
include $xcart_dir."/include/search.php";
$search_data["products"] = $old_search_data;
x_session_save("search_data");
$mode = $old_mode;
$page = $old_page;
unset($old_search_data, $old_mode, $old_page);
$smarty->clear_assign("newproducts");
$smarty->assign("newproducts",$products);
$search_data = '';
$products = array();
unset($search_data, $products);
?>

2. Modify file home.php in the xcart home directory to add code for newest.php

PHP Code:

if (empty($products)) {
include "./featured_products.php";
}
if (empty($products) and empty($current_category)) {
include "./newest.php";
} 


3. Modify statement in the home_main.tpl template in the skin1/customer directory to read as follows:

{elseif $main eq "catalog" && $current_category.category eq ""}
{include file="customer/main/welcome.tpl" f_products=$f_products newproducts=$newproducts}


4. Create newest.tpl template in the /skin1/customer/main directory.

{* $Id: newest.tpl,v 1.13 2002/05/20 06:55:20 lucky Exp $ *}
{capture name=dialog}
{if $newproducts ne ""}
{include file="customer/main/products.tpl" products=$newproducts}
{/if}
{/capture}
{include file="dialog.tpl" title="New Products" content=$smarty.capture.dialog extra="width=100%"}



5. Modify the welcome.tpl template in the /skin1/customer/main directory.

{if $f_products ne ""}
{include file="customer/main/featured.tpl" f_products=$f_products}
{/if}
{if $newproducts ne ""}
{include file="customer/main/newest.tpl" newproducts=$newproducts}
{/if}
{if $f_products eq "" && $newproducts eq ""}
<img src="{$ImagesDir}/customer_images/welcome.jpg" alt="" />
{/if}


I hope this helps some of the xcart 4.1 sites. I make no promises that this code will work with your site; each environment is different and your code may function differently especially if it has already been moded. I can't provide any support for this mod. Install only if you have the resources to fix any problems that may occur.

After installing this mod all I get is the PHP file showing at the top of the home page

Did you use the zip file, or the mod directly above your post? They do two different things.

[yages]

I have installed both mods. The php showed up on the mod directly above the post
Do you know how to make the product description and discounted prices show on the zipfile mod

Both mods? Don't you think that will be confusing? The one in the zip file is the one I use. It uses a template (newproducts.tpl) and is called on a separate page by putting a link to newproducts.php anywhere. I don't know about the other mod.
