ITZAP Ecommerce Template Guru Australia 1016 Posts	Posted - 09/05/2017 : 16:23:44 With regard to the On Vacation Message feature introduced in major release v6.7.0, which is a good idea, I was wondering if there might be a some simple PHP/ASP code snippet we can use to print the Vacation Message on the website Home index page, same as it currently appears on the cart page ? Maybe something like ... <?php if(!empty($vacationmessage)) print $vacationmessage ?> which does not work, but you get the idea ? Gary

'</div>'; } } ?> Of course if the include files are already in the page you don't have to include them again.

ITZAP Ecommerce Template Guru Australia 1016 Posts	Posted - 09/06/2017 : 19:29:02 Oh wow, that works a treat, thanks so much Andy and Vince ------------------------------------------------ For other ECT Users who may want to add the Vacation Message to other store pages, here is the method I used. (1) Create a file named vacation-message.php containing this code: <?php $result=ect_query('SELECT onvacation,vacationmessage FROM admin WHERE adminID=1') or ect_error(); if($rs=ect_fetch_assoc($result)){ if($rs['onvacation']!=0){ print '<div class="ectwarning">' . $rs['vacationmessage'] . '</div>'; }} ?> (2) On index.php, or any other store pages whatsoever, inside <body> (and whatever div) at the exact position where you want the Vacation Message to appear (when activated), add this code: <?php include_once("vacation-message.php") ?> (3) Upload those 2 files to server and test. ------------------------------------------------ Vince, can I respectfully suggest that in the inccart.php file at Line 5809, we don't want the red inline styling code at all: print '<div class="ectwarning" style="text-align:center;font-size:1.3em;padding:16px">'; Because we can apply all the CSS styles we like to div.ectwarning And under Main Settings where we enter the Vacation Message, we can use whatever inline CSS styling desired there as well, like: <p style="font-size: 110%"><strong>Our store is closed for the Christmas and New Year Break</strong>.</p> <p>We will be open for business again on Monday 4th January.</p> Thanks once again for your wonderful support !

Vince Administrator 42692 Posts	Posted - 03/30/2018 : 01:25:22 Hi Walt Sure, this will do the same for ASP <% Set cnnv=Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Connection") Set rsv=Server.CreateObject("ADODB.RecordSet") cnnv.open sDSN rsv.open "SELECT onvacation,vacationmessage FROM admin WHERE adminID=1",cnnv,0,1 if NOT rsv.EOF then if rsv("onvacation")<>0 then print "<div class=""ectwarning"">" & rsv("vacationmessage") & "</div>" end if %> Vince Click Here for Shopping Cart Software Click Here to sign up for our newsletter Click Here for the latest updater

Placed it at the head of both the Products and Product Detail page so that is shows up all the way down the line. Now I just need to remember where it is to delete it when need be.
