Block witf featured spares (Auto)

Hello,

How to configure one block to show Featured Spares? Because in featured sales block just appear ads from "listings" type.

Thank you,
Vitor

Hello Vitor,

I've already made necessary changes for your website,
will post instruction here in case somebody need similar

1. Admin Panel>>Blocks
There we can find block Featured Spares block. We need to duplicate this block with small difference.
So i've created new block key - featured_sale_spares.
All settings are the same with featured_sale, difference in smarty code. We need to change variable which store listings of this block. '$featured_sale' changed to '$featured_sale_spares'

Only registered members can view the code.

now we need to get listings in $featured_sale_spares variable
2. includes/controllers/common.inc.php

Code for Featured Sale (already exists in version)

Only registered members can view the code.

Code which we need to add for Featured Spares (same as above, but with small changes)

Only registered members can view the code.

This way you could create new blocks like Featured Sale for your specific needs.
Just play with variables of function
