Hi
Im using some of the the original code for SpecialItem in the item_functions file.
Im sort of a newbie with php3 so i have experimentet with the code little bit, maybe
you could have a look at it and see if
there is something that could be done to make it faster and easier.
Thanks so much for your help.
Tom
This is the SpecialItem code in item_functions:
/*
** Function: SpecialItem3
** Input:
** Output: INTEGER
** Description: returns ID of one of the featured items.
*/
function SpecialItem3()
{
require(APPLICATION_ROOT . "/modules/include/frontitems");
global $DatabaseLink;
file://create array of item IDs
$Item_ID = array($topptre);
file://return item ID
return($Item_ID[(floor%($Item_ID))]);
}
/*
** Function: SpecialItem4
** Input:
** Output: INTEGER
** Description: returns ID of one of the featured items.
*/
function SpecialItem4()
{
require(APPLICATION_ROOT . "/modules/include/frontitems");
global $DatabaseLink;
file://create array of item IDs
$Item_ID = array($toppfire);
file://return item ID
return($Item_ID[(floor%($Item_ID))]);
}
In the actual page i refer it like:
if ( $SpecialItem = GetItemInfo(SpecialItem()) )
{
$tekst = substr($SpecialItem['Description'], 0, 200);
$navn = substr($SpecialItem['Name'], 0, 25);
print("<TR><TD colspan=\"2\"valign=\"top\"
background=\"http://www.shop.nu/pic/forsidetoppbak.gif\"><font face=\"Verdana, Arial,
Helvetica\" size=\"2\"><B> $navn</B></TD></TR>\n");
print("<TR><TD valign=\"top\"><font face=\"Verdana, Arial, Helvetica\"
size=\"1\">$tekst ....\n");
print("</TD><TD width=\"90\" valign=\"top\" rowspan=\"2\">\n");
print("<table border=\"0\">\n");
print("<tr><td>\n");
$size = GetImageSize($SpecialItem["Thumbnail"]);
print("<A HREF=\"".ScreenURL('item', FALSE,
array('item'=>$SpecialItem['ID']))."\"></FONT><IMG SRC=\"http://www.shop.nu/".
$SpecialItem["Thumbnail"] . "\" $size[3] BORDER=\"0\" ALIGN=\"left\"
HSPACE=\"5\"></A>\n");
print("</td></tr>\n");
print("<tr><td>\n");
for($index = 0; $index < count($SpecialItem["SKU"]["ID"]); $index++)
{
print(StartForm("welcome", 'post' ,'ADD_BASKET', FALSE,
array(
"item"=>$item,
"sku"=>$SpecialItem["SKU"]["ID"][$index])));
if($SpecialItem["SKU"]["SalePrice"][$index] > 0)
{
print("<CENTER><font face=\"Verdana, Arial, Helvetica\" size=\"2\"><B> " .
formatMoney($SpecialItem["SKU"]["SalePrice"][$index]));
}
else
{
print("<CENTER><font face=\"Verdana, Arial, Helvetica\" size=\"2\"><B> " .
formatMoney($SpecialItem["SKU"]["ListPrice"][$index]));
}
print("<BR><INPUT type=\"image\" src=\"http://www.shop.nu/pic/buy.gif\"
name=\"Add to basket\" border=\"0\" value=\"Add to basket\" VALIGN=BOTTOM>");
}
print("</td></tr>\n");
print("</table>\n");
print("</TD></TR>\n");
print("</TABLE></FORM>\n");
