Magento

nobody knows?

@Kimura
I am using a custom attribute “featured on homepage”, not new products.  The code is the same that is shown at: http://www.magentocommerce.com/boards/viewreply/18209/

It shows the items, even after they have been set to “no” in the admin section.  see: http://www.littlezenminds.com/index.php for our site

UPDATE!! o yeah!!! it works… i just do it everything again, and now is working!!
Thanks!!

hi,
i recently install magento in a server and im trying to use this script, buy i get this error.

thanks for answer!!
SeeYa!

Paul,
Glad to hear you’re starting to get things sorted. The reason that it’s showing in one column, is because you embedded the block in a column of the sample table that comes with magento. That table was hard-coded for design reasons in some of the earlier reasons to show the look that “could” be achieved. You’ll probably want to remove the block from the table and alter the css that controls the homepage.phtml to achieve a “best-sellers table” look.

Could anybody explain how to do that?

Hi all. I need help showing two rows of new products.

Now my code is showing two rows but the same three new products in each row.

Here is my code:

////////////////
<?php if (($_products = $this->getProductCollection()) && $_products->getSize()): ?>

<div class="recently-list-head"><h3><?php echo $this->__('Novedades') ?></h3></div>

<table cellspacing="0" class="recently-list" id="recently-compared-list-table">

<?php $i=0; foreach ($_products->getItems() as $_product): ?>
<?php if ($i>2): continue; endif; ?>
<td>

<a href="<?php echo $_product->getProductUrl() ?>” title="<?php echo $this->htmlEscape($_product->getName()) ?>">
<img class="product-image" src="<?php echo $_product->getSmallImageUrl() ?>” width="80" height="77" alt="<?php echo $this->htmlEscape($_product->getName()) ?>"/>
</a>
</div>
<p><a class="product-name" href="<?php echo $_product->getProductUrl() ?>” title="<?php echo $this->htmlEscape($_product->getName()) ?>)"><?php echo $this->htmlEscape($_product->getName()) ?></a></p>

<?php $i++; endforeach; ?>

Any help?
It would be great to learn this to customize our boxes of products!!
Thank you
Andrea

Hello everyone. I’m very new to magento and was having a hard time finding a way to display products on the homepage as well. I followed Dan’s guide for using the feature attribute and it works well but I would like to have the products display in 3 columns instead of one. jwebber’s code(page2 of thread) looks like a solution but I was just wondering where do I insert the css code? I’m looking in the skin/frontend/default/default/css and there’s 11 css files. If anyone could help me out, I’d really appreciate it. Here is the css code from jwebber’s post. Thanks to Dan and jwebber btw for helping out newbs like me

Here is what Dan_w taught me;

Ok, open up the file boxes.css in whatever skin you are using. I’m guessing it you might just be altering the default? If so, you can find boxes.css in skin->frontend->default->default->css. Add the following line to the file:
.home-page-item{width:150px; padding:7px;}

Make sure that it has that period before the word home. Save the file, refresh cache if enabled and reload the page and see if that makes a difference.

My work in progress;

Thanks for the reply Autofittings. But no, that css code does nothing. I see that this class is used in the homepage.phtml file. As Dan says, it is the container for the product items which I think is the reason why the items only display in one column. There must be a way to add table data and row tags using the php for each product item. Lets say I wanted 3 columns, so three products in one row. Once the third product is reached a new table row is made for the 4th, 5th and 6th product item and so on. Does that make sense to anyone? I was thinking a for loop would do this but I’m not sure how it would be done. Anyway, back to jwebber’s css code. This would be placed in the boxes.css file as well? Any help from anyone would really be appreciated.

Kind of missing after go thought what had been wirte here…

How can I show the latest 10 products on my front page?

I was able to get my products to display in columns but for some reason I can only display 5 products yet I have about 9 enabled with the feature attribute. I’m using the original code from hompage.phtml that Dan provided and this modified css code. Here’s the codes. Any ideas anyone?

hompage.phtml:

CSS:

You need to modify the php file

change to

Cheers

Hi all again… sure somebody could help me!
I wrote a post above with a code to modify to show New products in a grid of (for example) two rows and three columns, instead the way that works by default the NEW.PHTML layout.

Please, read my post and help?

Thanks!!!
Andrea

hi , does anybody have complete the CSS of this homepage ? I need it. thanks

First, let me say thanks to everyone (especially Dan.)

I am fairly new to Magento and seem to be having a problem… I got Dan’s “featured products” code to work, with a couple of exceptions—my images don’t show up and some of the url’s are incorrect.

To explain in a bit more detail, each “featured product” does indeed show up on the home page, but they all show the default “no image” image. Also, some of the url’s are rewritten while some are not. Some show up as /category/product_name and some show up as /product?id=1234

The images are definitely there— If you view the product, the images show up. That is, of course, unless you click the link that is shown in the “featured products” block...then the images aren’t there. I am totally clueless :-(

I don’t think this is an issue with Dan’s code, I think it has something to do with Magento itself. Any ideas?

Thanks in advance, any help is greatly appreciated!

Dan, I would like to just get the Final price for an item, instead of showing the strikethrough and Special text. What is the best way to get the final price of an item, whether it is on special or not, and just echo it out as a dollar amount?

I tried this in homepage.phtml but I dont think it pulls the correct Special price:

<?php echo "$".round($_product->getPrice(), 2) ?>

thanks!

That PHP statement will get you what you are looking for
