    Default Displaying multiple featured products in sidebox

    I'm trying to display multiple (4) featured products in the sidebox. I've seen the settings to edit how many products to show in the main page featured products box (which I'm not planning to use), but I can't get the sidebox to show more than one.

    I understand that includes/modules/featured_products.php controls the main page listing and that includes/module/sideboxes/featured.php controls the sidebox. I've been trying to interpret the code enough to cut code from featured_products.php and add it to featured.php, but I'm new to php and am not having any luck. Featured_products.php seems to use a random function that repeats, which would be better than having four fixed featured products... It looks like featured.php uses a different one-time random function.

    Is there a simpler way to do this, or could someone show me exactly how to edit the code to get the results I need?

    Thanks a million!

    I'm looking for an answer to this question too.

    It sounds simple enough...but I've been searching the forums for an hour without luck!

    I never got a response & didn't figure it out. We gave up on it for the site I was working on at the time, but I'd still like to know how to do it if anyone figures it out.

    This will be available in the next release ...

    New, Featured, Specials and Reviews will have built in an option to have 1 to many per sidebox rather than just 1 like you have now ...
