Dublicate special block

[eldonate]

Hello,

 

I would like to add a second "specials" block...

 

Is it possible to dublicate the current specials block?

Sure,

1) copy the whole folder /modules/blockspecials to a folder /modules/blockspecials2

2) copy the whole folder themes/<your theme folder>//modules/blockspecials to a folder themes/<your theme folder>/modules/blockspecials2

 

Then go to  folder  /modules/blockspecials2 and edit file names:

 

blockspecials.php ->blockspecials2.php

blockspecials.tpl -> blockspecials2.tpl

blockspecials.css ->blockspecials2.css

 

 

then edit file blockspecials2.php and add a few 2's:

 

 

class BlockSpecials2 extends Module

{

private $_html = '';

private $_postErrors = array();

 

    function __construct()

    {

        $this->name = 'blockspecials2';

        $this->tab = 'pricing_promotion';

        $this->version = '0.8';

$this->author = 'PrestaShop';

$this->need_instance = 0;

 

parent::__construct();

 

$this->displayName = $this->l('Specials block 2');

$this->description = $this->l('Adds a 2nd block displaying current product specials.');

}

public function hookRightColumn($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__, 'blockspecials2.tpl');

}

 

public function hookLeftColumn($params)

{

return $this->hookRightColumn($params);

}

 

public function hookHeader($params)

{

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

return ;

$this->context->controller->addCSS(($this->_path).'blockspecials2.css', 'all');

}

}

 

 

 

and if you want to make it independent of the settings in blockspecials, change all instances of:

PS_BLOCK_SPECIALS_DISPLAY into PS_BLOCK_SPECIALS_DISPLAY2

 

in the same file.

 

 

 

if you want any translation different for both modules, you can change all occurences of 'blockspecials' to 'blockspecials2' in the themes/<your theme folder>/modules/blockspecials2/blockspecials2.tpl file

 

 

I think that's about it.

When finished, go to modules-?modules and install the new module like normal.

 

I hope I didn't forget anything,

pascal.
