Help with special offer module

[jeyjoo]

Hi,

I running PS 1.4.6.2. My site sells olive oil cosmetics

 

My "special offer" module (right hand side, just above PAYPAL) only gives one offer a time. If there a way to change this?

I tried the admin panel module setting (no option)

 

The template code is below:

<!-- MODULE Block specials -->
<div id="special_block_right" class="block products_block exclusive blockspecials">
<h4><a href="{$link->getPageLink('prices-drop.php')}" title="{l s='Specials' mod='blockspecials'}">{l s='Specials' mod='blockspecials'}</a></h4>
<div class="block_content">
{if $special}
 <ul class="products">
  <li class="product_image">
<a href="{$special.link}" title="{$special.name|escape:html:'UTF-8'}"><img src="{$link->getImageLink($special.link_rewrite, $special.id_image, 'medium')}" alt="{$special.legend|escape:html:'UTF-8'}" height="{$mediumSize.height}" width="{$mediumSize.width}" title="{$special.name|escape:html:'UTF-8'}" /></a>
			<h5><a href="{$special.link}" title="{$special.name|escape:html:'UTF-8'}">{$special.name|escape:html:'UTF-8'}</a></h5>
<span class="price-discount">{if !$priceDisplay}{displayWtPrice p=$special.price_without_reduction}{else}{displayWtPrice p=$priceWithoutReduction_tax_excl}{/if}</span>
   {if $special.specific_prices}
	   {assign var='specific_prices' value=$special.specific_prices}
	   {if $specific_prices.reduction_type == 'percentage' && ($specific_prices.from == $specific_prices.to OR ($smarty.now|date_format:'%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S' <= $specific_prices.to && $smarty.now|date_format:'%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S' >= $specific_prices.from))}
	  <span class="reduction">(-{$specific_prices.reduction*100|floatval}%)</span>
		  {/if}
		 {/if}
<span class="price">{if !$priceDisplay}{displayWtPrice p=$special.price}{else}{displayWtPrice p=$special.price_tax_exc}{/if}</span>
  </li>
 </ul>
 <p>
 <a href="{$link->getPageLink('prices-drop.php')}" title="{l s='All specials' mod='blockspecials'}" class="button_large">{l s='All specials' mod='blockspecials'}</a>
 </p>
{else}
 <p>{l s='No specials at this time' mod='blockspecials'}</p>
{/if}
</div>
</div>

modules/blockspecials.php calls blockspecials.tpl

 

blockspecials.php uses product.php function getRandomSpecial which is then passed to blockspecials.tpl

 

You would first have to build a new function that obtained x number of products with specials and pass the new smarty array of specials to blockspecials.tpl. You could hard code it to limit the number returned via your mysql call.

 

in blockspecials.tpl you would need to add foreach logic on returned product array where it displays the existing randomt display

 

I think this is why they just have the 'all specials' link after the place the random product.

 

it's fun to write modules...you can start off by patching your files...then write a module that will patch the files with save php repleace...etc...

 

good luck!

excellent idea to put at the bottom...I looked at this as a module (to do), a lot of work for very little satisfaction (nice job PS on doing radom!). One should leave their PrestaShop as vanilla as possible so that new modules, themes and releases can be done with little effort.
