Community Add-Ons

This is a v2.2 update to Specials on Index.php originally coded by Steve Kemp and revised by Frank Heinen

These modifications put specials on the index page, category pages or both. Choice of sort by random or by descending date

I chosen to use this simple mod over the others because it did not require changes to the database.

I have used this mod sucessfully on OSCOMMERCE 2.2 MS2 (060817)

I have corrected the installation instructions which I found incorrect in v2.1 by Frank.

I have added notes to allow the setup of Specials on the index page only, the category pages only, or both.

I have added a gif spacer so that the gap between the specials and new products can be adjusted.

I have supplied two versions of the file default_specials.php, one provides random specials, the other descending by date.

All Files are included, but the mod is relatively simple to hand enter and does not require changes to the database.

See it in action at http://aaalegs.com

Enjoy!

PS This is a different mod than Specials on index.php V3.0. This is easier!

I've modified this modul to display the base-price, needed in germany. If you have installed the contrib Grundpreis V 1.2.2, you only have to choice the file in catalog/includes/modules.

It's only one file, not the complete contrib.

Ich habe die Datei catalog/includes/modules/default_specials.php um die Grundpreisanzeige erweitert. Wenn das contrib Grundpreis V 1.2.2 installiert ist, braucht nur die Datei ausgetauscht werden.

Enthält nur eine Datei, nicht das ganze Contrib.

Just an updated readme with the correct filenames and locations to make changes.

There regular price didn´t show up in the category but was also the special price.
That was because products_price and specials_new_products_price were mixed in the default_specials.php.

This should work now, just replace the
default_specials.php

made a very small modification to the previous version of this contibution: now when browsing a certain category, either from the left infobox or with the wonderful browse by category contribution, see
http://www.oscommerce.com/community/contributions,1654

under the what's new table, there will be the specials table as well, showing only items within the viewed category.

The only modifications required in compared to the previous version of this contribution (described in the README) are:

1: add the
<tr>
<td><br><?php include(DIR_WS_MODULES . FILENAME_DEFAULT_SPECIALS); ?></td>
</tr>
on line 138 or so on catalog/index.php

2:
replace the previous default_specials.php with this one.

This is an updated version bringing this module up to MS2 standard.

We discovered that the tax rate was miscalculated.
Here is a new version

This mod allows you to display your specials on the default.php page in a similar fashion to the New Products section.

This is only my third contribution ( a lot more still in development) so i would like any constructive critisism or feedback.
