[solved] How can i display more than 2 Images in New Product?

[Rajesh Kumar Yadav]

I want to use new product in content center as featured is already being displayed.

I have coded hook and now it has been transplanted to column center very fine.

2 images and 5 details are being displayed.

I want to show 5 images and 5 details.

How is this possible?

 

Please find attachement for demo.

you have to edit the module .tpl file

 

open the /modules/blocknewproducts/blocknewproducts.tpl

you've got there:

{foreach from=$new_products item='product' name='newProducts'}
  {if $smarty.foreach.newProducts.index < 2}
   <li{if $smarty.foreach.newProducts.first} class="first"{/if}><a href="{$product.link}" title="{$product.legend|escape:html:'UTF-8'}"><img src="{$link->getImageLink($product.link_rewrite, $product.id_image, 'medium_default')}" height="{$mediumSize.height}" width="{$mediumSize.width}" alt="{$product.legend|escape:html:'UTF-8'}" /></a></li>
  {/if}
 {/foreach}

 

change the $smarty.foreach.newProducts.index < 2 to $smarty.foreach.newProducts.index < 5

 

 

then go to the modules > modules tab in your back office, search for block new products module, click on configure and change "products to display" param to 10:

that's right, sometimes your theme has got "override" files, it mean that if module file exist under the /themes/yourtheme/modules/ path - you have to edit it there.

[Rajesh Kumar Yadav]

Yes I have gone through your steps and now it is showing 5 images.

Thank you very much for your valuable support !

[Rajesh Kumar Yadav]

Thank you very much for your previous response.

Now I have a query, As you told theme/themename/modules/

modules located here are used to overwrite the existing module located in root folder's module directory.

So to over write it we have to change theme folder's module, That's right !

But I want to know if suppose any module doesn't exist in theme/themename/modules/

then should I have to copy and paste in this location to overwrite this or

just can overwrite the original module file?

 

I have used the above process in magento...

Should I have to use this in prestashop also?

nice to hear that it help.

 

It is better to overwrite any module files from theme location. so that it work only that that any original file remains same. May be in other theme the original file need.

 

So , if you want to overwrite any module file or edit than copy the folder and inside tpl to theme like

themes\mythemes\module\mymnodule\mymodule.tpl

 

this is the best practice , so that original file remain save and unchanged. and easy for future update of the module.

 

If you modified original file in that case future upgrade may loose your old modification. And after future update, if there is any change you can compare original file and your one and adapt new changes.

Thank you very much for your valuable support.

Due to this support now new look is as I desired to have :

 

 

 

Ok that's good to have a copy of it in theme/module/ and work with that with overwrite.

So if i have to change tpl then i will paste here tpl file with new folder as module name as you have mentioned.

 

Now my question is can we also copy and paste css and php along with tpl, means if tpl is being changed i have copied.

If i am also changing css files then should i have to copy this one also for overwriting.

 

summary : Is future update affects css and php also?

here is the proces how to overwrite css and js

 

themes\mythemes\js\modules\mymodules\mymodule.js or themes\mythemes\js\modules\mymodules\js\mymodule.js

 

which your module structure. I did in this way copy the original module folder to themes css folder and delete all the files except the css

same way do for js

and same way do for tpl

 

in this way original file remain same and new file will load from theme's section.

 

Hope you got a better idea how to overwrite the files from themes
