[Resolved] Featured Product

[BWG]

Is there any way to get CubeCart to select just one specific product and only that one product over and over?

See this Pull Request. If you're handy with Git, you can pull it into your own repo and be done; otherwise, click on the 'Files Changed' tab to see which edits you need to make.

Note that these edits allow you to have any number of specifically featured products.

In stock code, no.

One would need to make an edit to the database query that selects a Featured Product (actually, 'Random'), or implement a plugin.

You can hard code it in rather than have it auto generated.

If you view source code you will see the html for the featured product between these opening and closing div tags.

<div class="panel" id="box-featured">
   <h3>Featured Product</h3>
product code in here
   </div>

Copy the code into the templates/box.featured.php file and change the code to the product you wish to feature replacing everything below the *}

Here is the code from templates/featured.php, not sure where to put your code....

<div id="featured_product">
  <form action="{$VAL_SELF}" method="post" class="top addForm" enctype="application/x-www-form-urlencoded">
    <h3>{$LANG.catalogue.title_feature}</h3>
    <p class="image">
      <a href="{$featured.url}" title="{$featured.name}">
        <img src="{$featured.image}" alt="{$featured.name}" />
      </a>
    </p>
    <p class="title"><a href="{$featured.url}" title="{$featured.name}">{$featured.name}</a></p>
      {if $featured.ctrl_sale}
      <p class="price"><span class="price_previous">{$featured.price}</span> <span class="price_sale">{$featured.sale_price}</span></p>
      {else}
      <p class="price">{$featured.price}</p>
      {/if}
      {if $featured.ctrl_purchase && !$CATALOGUE_MODE}
        <div class="button">
          <input type="hidden" name="add[{$featured.product_id}][quantity]" value="1" />
          <input type="submit" class="button_add_basket" value="{$LANG.catalogue.buy_now}" />
        </div>
        {/if}
  </form>
</div>

Replace all of that. Depending on how many products you have if you reload your page you may see the product you want as a featured product. View source then copy the code for your product. If you have a lot of products then amend the product code to the one you want.

Your code may be slightly different depending on what skin you are using but the principle is the same.
