Need to add a random selection in a category to the home page

[josee225]

Hi, I would like to have a specific category listed on my home page, just as "Specials" or "Featured" products. I am already using those on my home page, I would like the category to show at the bottom of the center column. Here is my website: www.cartamagicastore.com.

I have played in my template files, as you probably can see, but I know almost nothing about php. So if you have a solution for me, I would need details, if possible :)

Thank you !

I would like to have a specific category listed on my home page,

First part really easy - open the cat and note te address in the browser it will be like

/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=1_4

Then in admin > config > layout settings > Main Page - Opens with Category > enter the cat as 1_4 or what ever your cat path is

Moving to below will require a file edit and so we steer you correctly we need a link to your site and the page you are trying to adjust

Start with what I have posted first...You may like it as is

Thank you very much for your help ! I did that, but nothing showed up on my home page...

Here is the link:

And I want to add the "Combo" category, found in the top menu. I added the number 312 in my config, as you instructed me.

Try switching to the classic template and see what displays

Check other layout settings

Categories - Always Show on Main Page set to "1"
Main Page - Opens with Category this you have as 312
