    Default Re: How can I format the Featured/New products list on the Home Page?

    So you can see what I am trying to do:

    This is the home page (in development of course): http://www.infocomonline.co.uk/~nanzza/new/

    I want the 2 featured products here to be displayed similar to what you see on this page: http://www.infocomonline.co.uk/~nanz...=index&cPath=1

    Thanks

    Hi
    Does anyone know how I can modify the layout of the Featured Products moduke on the home page.

    See this page: http://www.infocomonline.co.uk/~nanzza/

    I want to modify the product layout to look like they do on this page but don't know how/which file to change: http://www.infocomonline.co.uk/~nanz...=index&cPath=1

    Thanks

    Re Post #3:
    I haven't looked at the Featured listing, but assuming it's similar to the product listing page, the desired order of elements is set in admin > Configuration. Those numbers are fed into a variable (array) that is then looked at sequentially by the switch. As the switch works through the array, whichever case is true gets fed into $list_box_contents in turn.
    Hope this helps you figure out what you need to do.

    A thought on procedure:
    You may want to take large parts of the file that builds the regular featured products page and insert it in the file that builds the featured box in place of its building code. You would still want the code for "Featured Products!" or whatever it says, and the code for randomly selecting the products to be displayed.

    Thanks
    I tried taking code from the Featured Products page and inserting it into a file for the Featured Products module on the home page but made a mess of it so came here for help hoping someone would have done this already. Will have a look at your other suggestion. I would have thought it quite simple to just add the description and More Info button to the listing!
    Thanks
