    The file you need to edit is includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/templates/tpl_modules_featured_products.php.

    You'll want to replace this line:
    Code:
    require($template->get_template_dir('tpl_columnar_display.php',DIR_WS_TEMPLATE, $current_page_base,'common'). '/tpl_columnar_display.php');
    with the contents of includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/common/tpl_columnar_display.php.

    That way you can modify just the display of the featured products and not the display of all of the products.

    Ewwww, nice tip.

    However I would like to caution you against having all of your featured products on our home page. It will increase the load time of your homepage and you'll end up with search engine spiders leaving your site before it's finished loading.

    Think about having a clean homepage with just a few banners of featured products, and the text that you need to draw the spiders in further as well as presenting the customer with a fast loading shopping cart.

    Default Re: Change look of Featured products on home page

    I currently display the Featured Product centerbox on my index page.
    It is set to display 3 featured products.

    http://www.time-co.com/zencart/

    I would like it to JUST display the products without the "box" containing them and to get rid of the "Featured Products" title. I would like the changes to apply only to the Featured Products centerbox and not to other centerboxes (such as New Items, etc) Any help where to and how to implement it? Please!
