Adding featured/specials/

[JansenD]

Are all of your Products in Categories?

Do all of the Products have a valid master_categories_id set on them?

I did a fresh install on my server of ZEN CART and installed the sample data, the attributes worked fine, I them imported my database from my site and it imported correctly but then I went to the attributed controller and it back the same as before, on option like my screen image above.

I've tried everything I can think of, has anyone else any suggestions??

I've also tried installing 1.8 from 1.7 and did a patch on the data base but still no luck

SOLVED:
For any one else that runs into this problem, and to save them hours of figuring out.To quote my first post

Is there some option I don't have ticked? It did work before but I can't seem to see where Its going wrong now

That's how simple the problem was.

In Catalog->Product Types->Product - General->

In the box which said

This Product can be added to cart:

The box was unticked, so I just ticked it problem solved

On the positive side after all my practice I'm able to install a ZEN CART now in under 20 seconds now

Sorry that you had this issue...

But a default install has this set correctly - - this setting is stored in the DB and most likely applying your backed up DB with all your products had this reset by someone at some time.

That is the other trick to the Featured and Specials listing ... the Products have to be able to be added to the Shopping Cart or they do not display ...

Thanks for posting back the mystery solution that you had the Products setup as to not allow them to be added to the shopping cart ...
