The module’s configuration contains four sections: General, Display, Design and Generate.
General
In the General section the following settings are available :
Select "Sale Category" - allows selecting the category with special price products
Includes Products from Catalog Price Rules - If "Yes" products from catalog prices rules will be included in the auto-generate and display at the selected sale category. Please:
- make sure to "save and apply" the created catalog price rule, re-index data (php bin/magento indexer:reindex )
- then, under the system config settings (STORES ⟶ Configuration ⟶ ULMOD EXTENSIONS ⟶ Sale Category.), re-generate sale products (via clicking the "Generate Sale Products" button) and clear all cache
Display
The following settings are available in the Display section :
Display "Out of Stock" Products - If "Yes" out of stock products will display to the sale category. Note : before using this setting, please make sure to first set this option: STORES -> Configuration -> CATALOG -> Inventory -> Display Out of Stock Products to Yes
Show Discount Label? - set to "Yes" to show the discount label at the top right of each product
Show Countdown timer? - If "Yes", the timer will show on each item. The timer start and end date are the "Special Price From and To" set on each product edit level
