» ZenCart Expected / Upcoming Products Page

ZenCart includes an expected products box to list upcoming products release dates. By default the box only displays on the index and category pages as a center box, low on the page. I am developing a pre-ordering system for a current client and we thought it would be more useful to give customers a full page listing of upcoming products.

You can easily create a similar page in your own ZenCart site with the following steps:

1. Download upcoming_products_page.tar.gz and unzip.
2. Create a new directory on your site includes/modules/pages/upcoming_products/.
3. Upload header_php.php to this directory.
4. Upload the template file tpl_upcoming_products_default.php to your_template/templates/.
5. To create a link to the file, add this snippet to the end of your_template/sideboxes/tpl_categories.php:
   $content .= "<br />\n".'<a href="' . zen_href_link('upcoming_products') . '">Upcoming Products</a>';

   If the file doesn't exist, copy the one from template_default/sideboxes/ to your_template/sideboxes/.
