You would have to change the
information.tpl to include sometjhing like this:
Code: Select all
<div class="heading"><?php echo $text_latest; ?></div>
<table class="list">
<?php for ($i = 0; $i < sizeof($products); $i = $i + 4) { ?>
<tr>
<?php for ($j = $i; $j < ($i + 4); $j++) { ?>
<td style="width: 25%;"><?php if (isset($products[$j])) { ?>
<a href="<?php echo $products[$j]['href']; ?>"><img src="<?php echo $products[$j]['thumb']; ?>" title="<?php echo $products[$j]['name']; ?>" alt="<?php echo $products[$j]['name']; ?>" /></a><br />
<a href="<?php echo $products[$j]['href']; ?>"><?php echo $products[$j]['name']; ?></a><br />
<span style="color: #999; font-size: 11px;"><?php echo $products[$j]['model']; ?></span><br />
<?php if (!$products[$j]['special']) { ?>
<span style="color: #900; font-weight: bold;"><?php echo $products[$j]['price']; ?></span><br />
<?php } else { ?>
<span style="color: #900; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: line-through;"><?php echo $products[$j]['price']; ?></span> <span style="color: #F00;"><?php echo $products[$j]['special']; ?></span>
<?php } ?>
<?php if ($products[$j]['rating']) { ?>
<img src="catalog/view/theme/default/image/stars_<?php echo $products[$j]['rating'] . '.png'; ?>" alt="<?php echo $products[$j]['stars']; ?>" />
<?php } ?>
<?php } ?></td>
<?php } ?>
</tr>
<?php } ?>
</table>
The $products and $text_latest variables are to be set from a database query in the corresponding controller class
information.php:
Code: Select all
foreach ($this->model_catalog_product->getLatestProducts(8) as $result) {
if ($result['image']) {
$image = $result['image'];
} else {
$image = 'no_image.jpg';
}
$rating = $this->model_catalog_review->getAverageRating($result['product_id']);
$special = $this->model_catalog_product->getProductSpecial($result['product_id']);
if ($special) {
$special = $this->currency->format($this->tax->calculate($special, $result['tax_class_id'], $this->config->get('config_tax')));
} else {
$special = FALSE;
}
$this->data['products'][] = array(
'name' => $result['name'],
'model' => $result['model'],
'rating' => $rating,
'stars' => sprintf($this->language->get('text_stars'), $rating),
'thumb' => HelperImage::resize($image, 120, 120),
'price' => $this->currency->format($this->tax->calculate($result['price'], $result['tax_class_id'], $this->config->get('config_tax'))),
'special' => $special,
'href' => $this->url->http('product/product&product_id=' . $result['product_id'])
);
}
Finally, you have to comment out the latest products DIVs in the home.tpl since you don't want it there. Also, the
information.php code mentioned above needs to be updated so as to make sure that it will display the latest products only for a certain information page.
