V4.2.x Select "Featured" in usermodifylisting.tpl

While working on an inventory based system for 68C, I noticed that while inputting a new listing, you can select if you want the listing "Featured". I have discovered though, that in the usermodifylisting.tpl, there is no code for changing the listing to "Featured" or "Not Featured". I did try inserting the following:

Code:

<label for="featured">Feature this listing on home page:</label>
<select name="featured" id="featured">
<option value="N">No Thanks</option>
<option value="Y"{if $featured=="Y"} SELECTED{/if}>Yes Please</option>
</select>

The above code shows the label and options on the page but has no effect on the listing no matter which option is selected, have I possibly missed something?

Thanks very much!

Thanks Mike for this explanation...very helpful.

Going the route of the renew process for featuring a listing, I found that the following did not seem to work:

Approx line 175 of renew/step1.tpl

Code:

<option value="Y"{if $featured=="Y"} SELECTED{/if}>{$smarty.const.LANG_YES} (+{$cFeaturedPrice|format_money})</option>

The if statement {if $featured=="Y"} SELECTED{/if} does not seem to work whether the listing is featured or not, I have checked both the default template as well as the custom template I am working on. To me, I would think it should read the following way: {if $featured=="Y"}selected="selected"{/if}, though this did not work either

Is this possibly a bug?

Thanks for the reply Mike,

I switched over to the default template for testing.

When logged in and on renew/step1.tpl, I was expecting that if the listing was already featured, the "Y" option in the drop-down menu should default to "Y" as selected:

Is the if statement {if $featured=="Y"} SELECTED{/if} not supposed to change the order of the selected value to the code below if the listing is featured?

Code:

<select name="featured" id="featured">
    <option value="Y" >Yes</option>
     <option value="N">No</option>
</select>

If $featured is not an assigned variable and doesn't work in this template, why is it being used in the default template?

No matter if the listing is featured or not, the order of the drop-down is:

Code:

<select name="featured" id="featured">
    <option value="N">No</option>
    <option value="Y" >Yes</option>
</select>

Maybe I'm missing something here...

Thanks Mike...yes, I did REREAD

My question was as posted:

If $featured is not an assigned variable and doesn't work in this template, why is it being used in the default template?

Here is the exact code pulled from the default template:

Code:

{if $cFeatured=="Y"}
			<tr>
				<td><label for="featured">{$smarty.const.LANG_ADD_FEATURED}{$smarty.const.LANG_COLON}</label></td>
				<td>
					<select name="featured" id="featured">
					     <option value="N">{$smarty.const.LANG_NO_THANKS}</option>
					     <option value="Y"{if [COLOR="Red"][B]$featured[/B][/COLOR]=="Y"} SELECTED{/if}>{$smarty.const.LANG_YES} (+{$cFeaturedPrice|format_money})</option>
					</select>
				</td>
			</tr>
			{/if}

I've highlighted in red where it is being used in the default template.

Now, I understand that the $featured variable does not work in this template, though it is in the code of the default template, which it probably shouldn't be as it does not work.

The $cFeatured variable seems to only be for " if the "Featured" option is available in the package" ...so this also does not work for the order of the drop-down menu.

Thanks!

Perfect...we're traveling on the same road now

Should I post this in the Bug Tracker ?

Yup, good over here too...thanks for the fix.

I also changed the template if statement to show the following:

Code:

{if $featured=="Y"}selected="selected"{/if}
