(Solved) Premium Ads "Always on top" question

[geoo212]

Hi,
I use bender theme and i want to ask how can i enable"Always on top" feature to show premium ads before normal ads. Now i see the premium ads on every page. I want to see premium ads just before the normal ads.

For example, if i have 8 premium ads and a limit of 10 ads on page, i want to see on a page the 8(premium ads) + 2 (normal ads) and on the next page to show only the normal ads because the premium ads have been listed already.

Thanks!

Hi there
you could try something like

<?php if (osc_search_page() == 0) {?>


<?php
            $i = 0;
            osc_get_premiums(6);
            if(osc_count_premiums() > 0) {
                echo '<h1><strong>Premium Listings</strong></h1>';
                echo '<ul class="listing-card-list '.$listClass.' premium-list" id="listing-card-list">';
                while ( osc_has_premiums() ) {
                    $class = '';
                    if($i%4 == 0){
                        $class = 'first';
                    }
                    bender_draw_item($class,false,true);
                    $i++;
                    if($i == 6){
                        break;
                    }
                }
                echo '</ul>';
            }
         ?>



<?php if(osc_count_items() > 0) {  ?>
<div class="clear"></div><br />
<h1><strong>Free Listings</strong></h1>
<ul class="listing-card-list <?php echo $listClass; ?>" id="listing-card-list">
<?php $i = 0; while(osc_has_items()) { $i++; ?>
<?php
$class = false;
 if($i%4 == 0){
$class = 'last';}
bender_draw_item($class); ?>
<?php } ?></ul><?php } ?>


<?php } else { ?>



<?php if(osc_count_items() > 0) {  ?>
<div class="clear"></div><br />
<h1><strong>Free Listings</strong></h1>
<ul class="listing-card-list <?php echo $listClass; ?>" id="listing-card-list">
<?php $i = 0; while(osc_has_items()) { $i++; ?>
<?php
$class = false;
 if($i%4 == 0){
$class = 'last';}
bender_draw_item($class); ?>
<?php } ?></ul><?php } ?>


<?php } ?>

In your search.php
this is an easy way, there maybe better ways and less configured options, but you havent said what  osclass your running.

Hi,

There is already a solution here:

http://forums.osclass.org/general-help/proper-ads-sorting-please-move-this-to-tips-and-tricks/msg94617/#msg94617

Even simpler:

1.- Add this at the very bottom of Bender functions.php (take care not to leave blank lines after this):

Code: [Select]

<?php
function cust_all_premiums_ontop($params) {
    if (!$params['sOrder']) Search::newInstance()->order('b_premium desc, dt_pub_date', 'desc');
}

osc_add_hook('search_conditions', 'cust_all_premiums_ontop');
?>

2.- To disable the normal block of premiums on the top of every search page, just comment this line in bender/search.php:

Code: [Select]

// osc_get_premiums();

I have a little problem: when i want to sort the listings by price.. biggest to lowest or opposite isn't working. what cand i do? Thanks again

[teseo]

Right, now everything will return to default behaviour if any ordering is applied:

Code: [Select]

<?php
function cust_all_premiums_ontop($params) {
    if (!$params['sOrder']) Search::newInstance()->order('b_premium desc, dt_pub_date', 'desc');
}

osc_add_hook('search_conditions', 'cust_all_premiums_ontop');
?>

Ok. Thanks!

Maybe i'm asking to much, but is possible for the premium ads to remain on top after order? or to arrange themselves on top?

Thanks again, teseo!

[aide2001]

ignore my answer then @geoo212 , it works like you asked,
premium ads on top first page only, and doesnt change if you reorder it.

[teseo]

but is possible for the premium ads to remain on top after order? or to arrange themselves on top?

Let's see, is this what you want?:

Ordered by publishing date (default):

Most recent Premium
[more Premiums]
Oldest Premium
Most recent Normal
[more Normals]
Oldest Normal

Ordered by price (lowest to biggest):

Cheapest Premium
[more Premiums]
More expensive Premium
Cheapest Normal
[more Normals]
More expensive Normal

Ordered by price (biggest to lowest):

More expensive Premium
[more Premiums]
Cheapest Premium
More expensive Normal
[more Normals]
Cheapest Normal

Hi,

Here it is:

1.- Add this at the very bottom of your theme functions.php:
Notes:
a.- Take care not to leave blank lines after this.
b.- If your theme functions.php doesn't end with ?> skip first line of my code.

Code: [Select]

<?php
function cust_all_premiums_ontop() {

    $mSearch =  Search::newInstance();
    $query_elements = (array) json_decode($mSearch->toJson());

    $mSearch->order("b_premium desc, " . $query_elements['order_column'], $query_elements['order_direction']);
}

osc_add_hook('search_conditions', 'cust_all_premiums_ontop');
?>

2.- To disable the normal block of premiums on the top of every search page, just comment this line in bender/search.php:

Code: [Select]

// osc_get_premiums();
Regards

[geoo212]

Thanks so much, teseo! Everything works

@teseo, en 3.5.3 parece que no funciona.

Hi,

Here it is:

Code: [Select]

<?php
function cust_all_premiums_ontop() {

    $mSearch =  Search::newInstance();
    $query_elements = (array) json_decode($mSearch->toJson());

    $mSearch->order("b_premium desc, " . $query_elements['order_column'], $query_elements['order_direction']);
}

osc_add_hook('search_conditions', 'cust_all_premiums_ontop');
?>
