Ecommerce developers with Magento

Hey ! Thank you so much, it’s working like a charm now.

Problem solved. I found a nice post on your site regards to this problem. http://inchoo.net/ecommerce/magento/access-denied-in-magento-admin/

After re-login, problem is gone!

I have installed this extension and followed the comment here about going into the attribute and setting it to Yes to make it visible. I went to one of my products and set it to Featured. But I cannot see the featured product displaying on my front page. I only see the Best Selling products which I want to remove eventually. Any ideas?

Thank ya and Merry Christmas!

I had no problem installing with Magento Connect, Version 1.2.1.2
When I go to Catalog, Featured Products. I get 404 Error. Page not found.
Any Ideas.

Hi Arshad

1. Number of featured products you can set in admin section, go to:
“System > Configuration > Featured products (tab)” and set “Number Of Items in Main Block”.

2. You have to edit magento tepmplate file “….template/inchoo/block_featured_products.phtml” and you can remove “add to cart button”

Bye

Great work, I also managed to integrate it with Jacarousel ( http://sorgalla.com/jcarousel/ )

I have a small problem: I want to translate in admin the label “Featured Products”: how can I do it?

Question again

If I do this, the products do not wrap to the next line.

For Lane:
You have to style this box and maybe change teplate file: “template/inchoo/block_featured_products.phtml”

I’ve being tediously trying to figure out why the module isn’t functioning properly – as our store version of magento is 1.3.2.4 – at once it was working wonderfully – however it just stop working and so forth no products is showing on the homepage

Sorry to repeat.. and soyy if it’s a dumb question…

I want to translate in admin the label “Featured Products”: how can I do it?

Hi, installing the extension went flawless, but if I click on the featured product to display the detail page, I see the the blue default theme, not my onw theme? Anyway to fix this?

Thanks in advance, Tom

/featured-products is now working (forgot to copy layout/inchoofeaturedproducts.xml to the right template path).

home page still shows only 4 products… any idea?

Hm… I’m not able to access the admin url after installing this extension. I’m getting a 404 error…

Regards from Germany

Nice extension, but it doesnt seem to work like it should do for me.
I marked like 8 products as featured, set “Number Of Items in Main Block” to 8, but it never shows more than 4 products in front-page block.

Any further informations whats maybe going wrong. I have read that some users have similar problems.

BTW My Magento Release is 1.3.2.4

Hi guys, thanks for the great plugin, however, I can make it work on specific page (see: http://laptop.com.hr/featured-products/) but cannot make it work on homepage… currently I am using

{{block type=”catalog/product_list” category_id=”3″ template=”catalog/product/list.phtml”}}

Any help?

Thanks

The tags are missing in my previous post:

(translate)
(modules)
(Inchoo_FeaturedProducts)
(files)
(default)Inchoo_FeaturedProducts.csv(/default)
(/files)
(/Inchoo_FeaturedProducts)
(/modules)
(/translate)

This commenting tool does not accept angle brackets…

First thank you for developing this extention.

I’ve installed it on my local server and have http://www.yourstore.com/featured-products/ work great.

However when I add {{block type=”featuredproducts/listing” template=”inchoo/block_featured_products.phtml”}} to the CMS homepage just below the second at the bottom of the page, nothing is displayed when I refresh the page.

BTW I do have the cache turned off and I’m using Magento ver. 1.3.2.4

Any help you can provide would be most appreciated.

Cheers

@Andreas Reiser:

Thx, I have translated it in a second with your hint

OK guess I need to spell it out

less than, backslash, div, greater than

Cheers

I just installed this extension and it’s killed my site

I'm trying to reinstall from db backup but running into problems with that too so I'm in a pretty sad mess here - anyone have and ideas whaty went wrong?

Thanks.

Hi,
Am i a dumber?

I don”t found ” set attribute option of “inchoo_featured_product”: “Used in product listing” to YES in admin section of magento”.

Wich one?

Is it Systeme -> Configuration -> Catalogue -> Featured Products ?

Kind regards

@ fredmac : It’s at catalog > managa attributes > (find the inchoo attribute for featured products..

cheers
Rob

this somehow doesn’t seem to work for me

{{block type=”featuredproducts/listing” template=”inchoo/block_featured_products.phtml”}}

mmm

ciao, Rob

It works with :
- copy and paste default/template/inchoo into my own template folder
- copy and paste layout/inchoofeaturedproducts.xml into my own layout folder

http://localhost/magento-test/index.php/featured-products/

what ca i do for having the same on my Home page?

Best regards.

FRED

10 products added, 0 show with {{block type=”featuredproducts/listing” template=”inchoo/block_featured_products.phtml”}} nor /featured-products.

Cache off.

It’s the blank white box on the home page.

Hi Amy

May be you could define “Featured Products” as your home page in

System > Configuration > default Page

FRED

thanks Amy. where do you go to enable the status from NULL to enable? All my products in Featured are set “enabled” but still not showing. Mmm
ciao, Rob

how can I “centralize” the feature product, right now I have put 3 items to be display but the 3 products is left aligned

Having multiple stores to contend with, I gave up on this one for now. I decided to go the category route by making a category in each store called “featured products” and place the following code on my home pages

{{block type=”catalog/product_list” category_id=”363″ name=”home.catalog.product.new” alias=”product_homepage” template=”catalog/product/featured-products.phtml”}}.

with the category id equalling the cat id of the created category.

I also created /app/design/frontend/default/default/template/catalog/product/featured-products.phtml :

getLoadedProductCollection() ?>
count()): ?>
__(‘There are no products matching the selection.’) ?>

getStore()->getName();
$storeId = Mage::app()->getStore()->getId();
?>
__(‘New Arrivals Just Added to ‘) ?>
getStore()->getName(); ?>
count() ?>

getColumnCount()*/; ?>

<a href="getProductUrl() ?>” title=”htmlEscape($_product->getName()) ?>”>
<img class="product-image" src="helper(‘catalog/image’)->init($_product, ’small_image’)->resize(135, 135); ?>” width=”135″ height=”135″ alt=”htmlEscape($_product->getName()) ?>” />

<a class="product-name" href="getProductUrl() ?>” title=”htmlEscape($_product->getName()) ?>)”>htmlEscape($_product->getName()) ?>
getReviewsSummaryHtml($_product, ’short’) ?>

decorateTable(‘products-grid-table’)

This work-around works for me until inchoo adds the capability to administer multiple stores.

Thanks Amy, great post. I’m going to give it a shot.
ciao, Rob

I’m on a roll with the goofs. I’m not michu, but “michuyewup” on magento forums if you would like the code. I also tried to contact you via your store contact, rob. I sent you my email address through the contact form.

Hi.. I am new to magento (not new to programming)… I am getting an error when I try to add featured products to my home page of the website. I went into manage pages >> home page >> custom design and added but when I refresh I get a cannot find files message. “inchoo” installed in my components folder but not sure what to do.

I had the same hing happen when I viewed it in ie7. If you are viewing in ie7 then try firefox and it will work

Hi,

I would love to use your extension.

However, I run into some problems here.

Installed the extension and it shows up in my backend. I can configure it and select products i want to be “Featured”. I also have a working listing of the featured products here: http://www.cardgameshop.com/featured-products/

But. If I paste the code to call the block on any page on my store it does not show up. Nothing happens.

So that is problem 1.

What i want is to be able to display one product out of these featured product in my left sidebar. I want to have a Sale of the Day and be able to display it in the left sidebar on the top.

Is there any way I can do this? I would be very happy if you can help me out with this problem!

Thanks in advance.

BTW: great website, good tips!

The /featured-products works for me, but the block inserted into the CMS does not, unless it’s on the homepage. If I insert it in any other page, it doesn’t show. I’ve set the product attributes to featured=yes and assigned them through Configuration > Catalog > Featured Prodcuts, refreshed the cache, but no luck.

Any idea why?

Same problem here – config page is blank for me. Latest version of the free Magento, using Firefox on a mac – firebug shows that column empty

Looks like a great extension but I also cannot get the block to embed anywhere. The featured-products page works fine but the block does not show up on my homepage or anywhere else with the code example given: {{block type=”featuredproducts/listing” template=”inchoo/block_featured_products.phtml”}}

This is very frustrating and renders useless what otherwise appears to be a great free extension.

Can someone help me with display Featured Product in Role Resources > Catalog ?

oooops, tags got stripped:

?php else: ?
No products
?php endif; ?

But with the pointy brackets where they should be.

I really like this product, but as many others i can’t get more than 4 products on my page. I have set it to show 10, but it doesn’t work and have have not found any answers on this topic.

I believe I found a major bug. Every single product that I assigned to be featured and then un-assigned them, it caused the tier pricing on all those products to disappear. The rest are fine.

I’m not sure how to get them back without re-entering them manually. Any quick solution to this dilemma. Appreciated.

Amazing extension… guys you’re great!

Ok, found the bug!

Using Catalog -> Featured products, if I un-assign a product, its status change to ‘Unselected’, so it disappear from store. I’m trying to solve the trouble, in case I share my solution…

Same problems as many above:
- admin works fine
- direct url to /featured-products fineç
- {{block …}} in home page or any other not generating any html

using default theme and out of box v1.3.2.4.
with 1 menu extension installed and its {{block…}} working fine.

How do I center the featured products on the front page?

@Matte,

The number of products in the block can be easily modified, we implemented featured products with 5 products in a block yesterday.

@Matte,

I’d love to, but I didn’t do it, it was one of our developers, if they catch some time, I’m sure they’ll drop by here to post a line or two on where to modify the number of products in a block.

try again with changes

******
******
***getItems() as $_product): ?>***
***=4): continue; endif; ?>***
******

******
***getColumnCount(); $_columnCount=8; ?>***
***getItems() as $_product): ?>***
******
******
******
******

I cannot view the admin > config > catalog > featured products.
I am using version 1.4.0.0

Any ideas?

sorry guys it stripped my code…

This extension doesn´t works on 1.4.0.1 so take care with your installation!

@Roy, not true, you can show more than 4 products, we did it on one store and it works out of the box.

Do you have an estimated date when a 1.4.0 compatible version will be available?

@Roy:

Would you kindly tell me where where in the data base I would go to fix the 4 product limit problem? Thank you very much in advance!

I like this module………
