Multiple Featured Products Boxes in the Center

[jzc1995]

I want to add more boxes into the center body in order to display all the categories of products in homepage.

In "tpl_index_default.php":

/**
 * display the Featured Products Center Box
 */
?>
<?php require($template->get_template_dir('tpl_modules_featured_products.php',DIR_WS_TEMPLATE, $current_page_base,'templates'). '/tpl_modules_featured_products.php'); ?>
<?php } ?>

<?php if ($show_display_category->fields['configuration_key'] == 'SHOW_PRODUCT_INFO_MAIN_SPECIALS_PRODUCTS') { ?>
<?php

I changed it to this:

/**
 * display the Featured Products Center Box
 */
?>
<?php require($template->get_template_dir('tpl_modules_featured_products.php',DIR_WS_TEMPLATE, $current_page_base,'templates'). '/tpl_modules_featured_products.php'); ?>
<?php } ?>

<?php if ($show_display_category->fields['configuration_key'] == 'SHOW_PRODUCT_INFO_MAIN_SPECIALS_PRODUCTS') { ?>
<?php
?>
<?php require($template->get_template_dir('tpl_modules_featured_products.php',DIR_WS_TEMPLATE, $current_page_base,'templates'). '/tpl_modules_featured_products.php'); ?>
<?php } ?>

<?php if ($show_display_category->fields['configuration_key'] == 'SHOW_PRODUCT_INFO_MAIN_SPECIALS_PRODUCTS') { ?>
<?php

Now I have two Featured Products in the homepage. However, I they display the same products, what could i do to let them display different products?

I know that I can change the code in "featured_products.php" to let the featured products box display the categries I want.

I just don't understand how could "tpl_index_default.php" get the information of products from MySQL, I can't see any code about it in this file or the files link to it.

Also, is there any connection between "featured_products.php" and "tpl_index_default.php"? I can't find any.

Thanks for any help.

tpl_index_default.php is your index or main page. contains all the information for your main page of your site.

featured_products.php is a box. you can move that box anywhere you want to on your index page it is turned on and off in admin.
