Ignore the one i uploaded before, tax didnt work properly

Hi!
I have used this contribution for years, and i just realized that i have done a pimped version of it that i would like to share ;)

you can see a picture of it here:
http://www.mindsparx.se/demo_pic.htm

This is based on version 1.6 since it was done before hardcore_chad´s version... but it works well.

Hi guys!

Just finished doing a bit of moving and incorporating of old updates with the complete package.

I've made the following changes:
- The photo does not link anywhere
- The More info link is replaced with "..."
* I made these mods to allow the index page to be more SEO friendly. osC has many links in the index page already. Adding 4 more, with 2-3 pointing to the product info page is redundant.
- Picture resized to its original thumbnail size
- The price is already right below the product picture
- The tax price update is already included
- I wasn't able to incorporate the "acive or inactive " prod mod by lildog because the syntax phrase in my file is different from his, out of the box. Just do not add anything that is disabled in the product listing. It will just show a blank star product box. No worries.

NOTE: The file included in this package is for the catalogincludesmodules area.

Cheers!

This mod only allows you to select products that have an enabled status. Optional categories staus included.
in catalog/admin/star_product.php:

FIND:
$star_query = tep_db_query("select p.products_id, pd.products_name from " . TABLE_PRODUCTS . " p, " . TABLE_PRODUCTS_DESCRIPTION . " pd where p.products_id = pd.products_id and pd.language_id = '" . $languages_id . "' order by pd.products_name");


REPLACE WITH: (if you do not have Enable & Disable Categories contrib installed)
$star_query = tep_db_query("select p.products_id, pd.products_name, p.products_status from " . TABLE_PRODUCTS . " p, " . TABLE_PRODUCTS_DESCRIPTION . " pd where p.products_id = pd.products_id and pd.language_id = '" . $languages_id . "' and p.products_status = '1' order by pd.products_name");

OR

REPLACE WITH: (if you have Enable & Disable Categories contrib installed)
$star_query = tep_db_query("select p.products_id, pd.products_name, p.products_status from " . TABLE_PRODUCTS . " p, " . TABLE_PRODUCTS_DESCRIPTION . " pd left join " . TABLE_PRODUCTS_TO_CATEGORIES . " p2c on p.products_id = p2c.products_id left join " . TABLE_CATEGORIES . " c on p2c.categories_id = c.categories_id where p.products_id = pd.products_id and pd.language_id = '" . $languages_id . "' and p.products_status = '1' and c.categories_status = '1' order by pd.products_name");

I had a problem with 1.6 were the price was displayed without V.A.T (UK Tax)

I managed to solve it with the following
in catalogincludesmodulesstar_products.php replace lines 39 and 60 (which should be)
$currencies->display_price($star_products['final_price'], tep_get_tax_rate($listing['products_tax_class_id'])) . '</td>

With this

$products_price = $currencies->display_price($star_products['products_price'], tep_get_tax_rate($star_products['products_tax_class_id'])) . '</td>

Minor update:
A slight addition to Expert's update. His new admin ability of turning the Star Product on or off is great however it called a configuration value that didn't exist.

Run this sql command on your database:
INSERT INTO `configuration` VALUES (768, 'Show Start Product', 'SHOW_STARPRODUCT', 'false', 'Show Star Product on Index Page', 1, 154, '2006-08-12 19:45:03', '2003-08-14 00:25:08', NULL, 'tep_cfg_select_option(array(''false'', ''true''),');

Next...to get rid of the star product box on the index page when turned off in admin:

Find these lines:
<tr>
<td><?php include(DIR_WS_MODULES . FILENAME_STAR_PRODUCT); ?></td>
</tr>

And replace with these:
<?
// STAR PRODUCT START...
if (SHOW_STARPRODUCT=="true") {
?>
<tr>
<td><?php include(DIR_WS_MODULES . FILENAME_STAR_PRODUCT); ?></td>
</tr>

<?
}
// STAR PRODUCT END...
?>

That's it...
All credit goes to the original authors...I just updated it a touch.

File included is just a text file w/ tese changes. This is not a complete package

With this small modification you can enable/disable your star product status in star product select page in admin. No need to go Admin->Configuration to set its status.

Some cosmetics table arrangements are also available.
A screenshot is included..

Just replace your /catalog/admin/star_product.php

Warning: Please backup your current file....

Download this one... Previous one contains unnecessary test attrib in table tag.. (abidik) :)

Replace;

/catalog/includes/modules/star_product.php

with this one provided in Zip

If you have html formmatted product_info this fix remove all html tags from taken part of product_info text. Otherwise unclosed tags cause imporper html output. (For example; is there is <table> tag at the beginning, modul graps some part of it before closing the </table> tag. Imagine what happens?

Bug fixed: When the Star Product has options the "Buy now" button didn't work
Bigger image size.

If you like this contribution help to the community adding code, languages, or ...

-Added product price.
-Deleted the title link.
-Changed the image link from "product info" to "enlarge image".
-Modifed the install instructions, I forgot in the other versions to include the styles.
-Added support to thumbnails (Thanks Burt).

If you are upgrading, you must to replace the star_product.php file (If you cant replace the file be carefull, there are many changes) and read the install instructions for adding styles to the contribution.

Fixed bugs, if you are using Star Product v1.0 you need to replace: catalog/admin/star_product.php
(Do it although your contrib runs correctly, if you delete in the database the product that is selected in "Star Product" the contribution will stop working)

I think the sSQL file is not correct, please correct.

Star Product, add to your main page a new box under your welcome text (you can replace this text with this contrib) with one featured product.

This box have the title, description, product image and two buttons: "info" and "buy now"

The description is limited to a number of characters if it exceds a "read more" link appears.

You can select the star product by the admin side.
