RP 3 - Config Questions

[WB]

omegatron:

A few questions about RP 3:

We'd like to experiment with not showing all of the images up top in a product (the image itself, the thumbnail with the supersize link, etc.).

I assume this can be accomplished by editing a template? Could you point me to which .tmpl file I should look in and what section of the template code?

I've run across a site that appears to have the reviews in a reverse chrono listing. Is there a switch for that as I can't seem to find one in the admin interface? If reverse chrono is available, is there any way to peg any review to the top if needed?

Thanks!

well for comments simply put a ORDER BY date DESC clause

I dont know what you mean by the image up top but showproduct.tmpl is the template for a product

[WB]

Thanks.

Not following about the ORDER BY date DESC clause. Where would I put that?

For the images, I'm referring to the thumbnails up top. For example:

http://www.reeftalk.com/reviews/show...p/product/1762

(the island aquatics images up top in the product, two images, one with the 'supersize' link under it).

We want to experiment with only showing one image regardless of how many may be available.

I think the portion of the code in showproduct.tmpl is:

<tr>
<td class="{$Style['small']}" valign="top" align="center">$file1thumb</td>
<td class="{$Style['small']}" valign="top" align="center">$file2thumb</td>
<td class="{$Style['small']}" valign="top" align="center">$file3thumb</td>
</tr><tr>
<td class="{$Style['small']}" valign="top" align="center">$file4thumb</td>
<td class="{$Style['small']}" valign="top" align="center">$file5thumb</td>
<td class="{$Style['small']}" valign="top" align="center">$file6thumb</td>
</tr>

So if we only wanted to show one image, we could remove the relevant lines from above, correct? Do the numbers correspond to the order with which the images are uploaded? So if wanted to always use an image associated with the sixth image uploaded, we'd keep file6thumb?

Thanks!

[Chuck S]

yes you would remove that but I would suggest you alter your upload templates to match to only upload the bigimage field

what I suggest is in showproduct.php in the query we grab the reviews you need to add that order clause to display them as you suggest.

Thanks!

I found the reference in showproduct and both the image display and the sort are now working as we want.

I think that takes care of everything with the exception of being able to peg a certain review to remain up top. Any easy way to do that?

Thanks.

[Chuck S]

Nope not without database and code modification

[WB]

Thanks.

On a related note, did you get my email 'Custom Mod - User WB from the forums' yesterday about the custom mod?

[Chuck S]

No I don't see anything send it directly to omegatron@comcast.net

[WB]

Thanks. Message resent.
