[Solved]Modifying Feature Products

[GrandPric]

Hi Experts

 

I'm a newbie here. I would like to modify feature products in default PS 1.5 theme as below

 

(1) Change the product image dimensions width x height (I found a couple of topic regarding this issue but it didn't work out for me), Please tell me exactly where should I add/change the code as I'm quite new to PS.

 

(2) Remove Short description in Feature Products (I tried to comment out line 43 in homefeature.tpl but it didn't work)

 

{*{$product.description_short|strip_tags|truncate:65:'...'}*}

 

Force recompiling didn't help either.

 

(3) Modifying Feature Product items in a row from default 4 to higher or lower

 

I can't give you a link to my shop as it's not live yet.

 

Thank you

For (2) I've commented out homefeatured.tpl

 

line 43

<!--div class="product_desc"><a href="{$product.link}" title="{l s='More' mod='homefeatured'}">{$product.description_short|strip_tags|truncate:65:'...'}</a></div-->

1) change size in BO and regenerate thumbnails (preferences->images)

2) if you delete this line it appears too?

3) line 32:

{assign var='nbItemsPerLine' value=4}

 

increase value of nbItemsPerLine

Ok now I'm able to do for (2) Remove short description (DONE)

I was editing the wrong tpl file, the correct file is in theme/module folder

 

For (1) I've defined a new image size 210 x 210 and hard coded H x W in tpl file. But the border is covering the image (see attached) and the prince tag is touching the footer bar. Where do I adjust that.

 

  <a href="{$product.link}" title="{$product.name|escape:html:'UTF-8'}" class="product_image"><img src="{$link->getImageLink($product.link_rewrite, $product.id_image, 'feature_default')}" height="210" width="210" alt="{$product.name|escape:html:'UTF-8'}" />{if isset($product.new) && $product.new == 1}<span class="new">{l s='New' mod='homefeatured'}</span>{/if}</a>

 

For (3) I will change the code and post the result.

[vekia]

you forget about file

[GrandPric]

you forget about file

 

Many Thanks for your help Vekia but which file you are refering to?

 

For (3) I added the code in homefeatured.tpl

 

  {assign var='nbItemsPerLine' value=6}

 

But it is showing 7 items in the row. What went wrong??

 

And Footer has a gap now..

Omg I'm so close to the way I want to be. I edited the homefeatured.css file there

 

#featured-products_block_center li {
margin-right:15px;
padding:5px 0;
/*width:126px;
height:240px*/
width:210px;
height:210px;
}

 

But it is now overlapped with border and Text. Any help appreciate.

 

Edit: Wow I made. Thanks Vekia!!
