    Default I have a problem with Featured Products

    Hello,

    My name is Chris Niblett, and I own Abstract Auto Works (www.AbstractAutoWorks.com).

    I have setup the featured products, and I like it alot. But, I only want it to show on the main page, not my others, like "engine performance" and so forth.
    I find that showing featured products on anything but the main page is distracting to the user. I have searched the forums and google, but I have found nothing regarding this.

    Could somebody please point me to a thread on this, or tell me how to do it?

    Thanks your help,
    Chris

    What happens when you change templates to Classic or Default,
    does problem still appear?

    Misty,

    Thanks for your reply, I have not tried this, but I will later, I dont have time right now. Even if it did "fix" the problem, I do not want to use the classic template. Do you have any other ideas or a link to this subject?

    Try this setting:
    Admin>Config>Index Listing>Show Featured Products on Main Page - Category with SubCategories
    Set to 0

    Steven300,

    I just tried that, and it turned off featured products on all pages including the main page. Perhaps this setting will work somehow involving the different sort orders? Can I set my pages (engine performance, etc.) to have different sort orders?

    So maybe setting this to 1 put its on all pages, 0 turns it off, and when you set 2 or 3 it will display how I want?

    I really have no idea, I am new to Zen Cart. I am just guessing at how this might work.

    Chris

    chris - in the admin panel, under configuration, index listing:

    set the line "Show Featured Products on Main Page" to 1
    set the other three lines that refer to Featured Products
    ("Show Featured Products on Main Page - Categories w/ SubCats",
    "Show Featured Products on Main Page - Errors and Missing Product Page",
    and "Show Featured Products - below product listing") to 0

    this will display featured products on your main page, but not on others.
