you can use specials block module to display specials product, you don't have to modify the new products block module

i have tried to insert special block module on the place of new products on home page.but it shows error that cant insert the module on this position.

hello

 

i will check the sources of the specials block module, but i must know something, one additional information: where you've got "new products" block? ?

[kumarji]

actually the name of the block is 'Featured Products'.

 

modules---positions--Homepage Content

hi have you find any solutions???

[vekia]

blockspecials.php

 

change

public function install()
{
 return (parent::install() AND $this->registerHook('rightColumn')  AND $this->registerHook('header'));
}

to:

public function install()
{
 return (parent::install() AND $this->registerHook('rightColumn')  AND $this->registerHook('home') AND $this->registerHook('header'));
}

 

then

 

add function:

public function hookHome($params)

{

if (Configuration::get('PS_CATALOG_MODE'))

return ;

 

if (!($special = Product::getRandomSpecial((int)$params['cookie']->id_lang)) && !Configuration::get('PS_BLOCK_SPECIALS_DISPLAY'))

return;

 

$this->smarty->assign(array(

'special' => $special,

'priceWithoutReduction_tax_excl' => Tools::ps_round($special['price_without_reduction'], 2),

'mediumSize' => Image::getSize(ImageType::getFormatedName('medium')),

));

 

return $this->display(__FILE__, 'blockspecials.tpl');

}

thanks it works, but not fully,

 

it only shows one product that is on promotion on Home page and it shows a link at a bottom of that product to see all the products on promotion.

 

I need to show all or you can say unlimited number number of products on home page.

[kumarji]

means all the products that are on promotion on home page.

in this case you have to modify the .tpl file of this addon, just remove the unwanted link + use different way to display products.

There is no other way to achieve what you want, you can do it only with modification that i suggested
