Change Featured Products Display

[margecc]

In the featured products on my main page, I would like the model number to display rather than the title.

http://www.actionforms.ca/officesupplies/

IE, the first one shows "For Deskjet 450CI/CBI, 5150, 5550, 5650/W, 5850/W, 9650, 9670…" as the title, but I just want it to show "Model: HEWC6657AC" instead.

Roll up your sleeves....tpl_modules_whats_new.php is the file but mostly only calls /includes/modules/new_products.php and in that file it gets the info for displaying with things like:

 $new_products_query = "select p.products_id,...and
$new_products->fields['products_name'] = zen_get_products_name($new_products->fields['products_id']);

Where you want the model...p.products_model or products_model depending.

I think at first glance that I would copy/clone this with a new name if you only want this for the main page as this is also used for the featured listing - yeah a bit more work but might be what you need

I want the featured products on all pages to be displayed with the model number instead of the title, so I think I can just customize instead of cloning which will hopefully make it easier.

I have opened the "new_products.php", however I know just enough php to make me dangerous but not useful. Should I not use the "featured_products.php" file?
I have rolled up my sleves and I am ready to type, if only I had a clue what I was doing!

To change the Featured Products Centerbox ...

You would want to customize the:
/includes/modules/featured_products.php

and copy to your templates and overrides directory:
/includes/modules/your_template_dir/featured_products.php

add the additional field(s) needed to the select statements ... then customize the display of the data ...

Maybe I'm not bright, but I have no idea how to switch it from name to model so I would love a little more guidance.

Both replys, I think, assume I have know a little more php than I do. I understand it to read it (somewhat), but writing my own stuff I leave to the smart ones!!
