Most Popular Product

Is there a way to manipulate the "Most Popular Product" to a product that you want? Where is this setting?

Thanks.

Yes you can. The most popular is populated using a record set, updating that record set will change what popular product to show.

to make that change browse to webassist/plugins/catalog/

and open the popularbox.php page and update the record set. you will need to make the same change under the basic folder.

Where is this folder?

webassist/plugins/catalog/

10/27/2010 5:55 pm | #4 Dani Chankhour

it should be located at the root of the powerstore files.

I have PowerStore 3. It is not in the original files.

webassist/plugins/catalog/popularbox.php

I'd suggest making a copy of that file and create your own plugin for the new functionality based on that page. That way if you update to a dot release it won't overwrite your changes and you can easily carry your upates over.

Did this help? Tips are appreciated...

I don't understand what you're telling me. The folder does not exist in any release of PowerStore. What am I missing?

The folder, before installation, is in /install/webassist/ , but after you install it gets copied into the root.

I assume you are making updates to a working test site, it should have the /webassist/ directory since you have run the installer.

I'm sorry but there is NO webassist directory on my live site or in the original install folder.

I have PowerStore 3.

That should be populated from a recordset on the index page where the most popular item is displayed.
