 hi! I have installed drupal/uber cart. Enabled this special offer and best seller options. Both of them fit only in the content area of drupal. I want this to be displayed either in right/left side bars where they are not fitting in. Is there any way to change the display to Img in this vertical format rather than the exisiting horizontal format? Regards - Jo
Re: Special offers/ Best Sellers.
Hey Jo, you'll probably have to make your own blocks for this using the Views module. Those core catalog blocks have probably already been removed b/c of the limitation you've pointed out and others.
Hi Ryan

Hi Ryan How do you make a best sellers block using Views? I can't see any fields that relate to sales data that could be used to sort the products. Cheers Jez
Jez,
I don't like to step on
Jez, I don't like to step on Ryan's toes but I have an answer for you. For us it depends on the client, for budget projects we just do a CCK Field or two related to featured products and use views to display a block and a page. For jobs that require it we use the Statistics functionality built into Drupal core. You can read a little on it here http://drupal.org/handbook/modules/statistics. I have also used the Drupal Hall of Fame module located here http://drupal.org/project/hof. Both require some customization and theming to work exactly how you would want them to work.
Hmm, thanks thill

Hmm, thanks thill I can see that a cck field would work well for promotions or featured products (is this better than using a taxonomy term?). I can also see that the statistics or HOF modules would help with a 'most viewed products' block or similar. But what about recreating the bestsellers block, which seems to have disappeared somewhere between beta7 and RC2? (unless I'm going blind, in which case I apologise for wasting your time) Jez

Hey Jo, you'll probably have to make your own blocks for this using the Views module. Those core catalog blocks have probably already been removed b/c of the limitation you've pointed out and others. Sorry to bring this one up again, but how would I go about creating a "Best Sellers" list using Views - Most, if not all of my other product displays are done using Views so I was wondering if i could just carry on the same way... ..the only problem I seem to be having is finding a method to sort my views returned list on - I was hoping there would be something like Product: Number sold under the Add Criteria list. Is there a way around this or a far simpler way. Is there actually a way to add extra sort criteria to the list somehow? I've tried the Mareting module for this but would rather stick with using Views...please let me know if this is possibly not the best approach Many thanks |
