hi, i have a similar issue -- i am trying to get my featured product sidebox to display on the right side, but no matter what i do, it won't show. this is what i currently have in my /public_html/includes/templates/12541/sideboxes/tpl_featured.php file. /tpl_featured had to be copied from the default template folder because it did not exist in my modified template (12541).

my website is: http://www.indiediggs.com

$content = "";
$featured_box_counter = 0;
while (!$random_featured_product->EOF) {
$featured_box_counter++;
$featured_box_price = zen_get_products_display_price($random_featured_product->fields['products_id']);
$content .= '<div class="sideBoxContent centeredContent">';
$content .= '<a href="' . zen_href_link(zen_get_info_page($random_featured_product->fields["products_id"]), 'cPath=' . zen_get_generated_category_path_rev($random_featured_product->fields["master_categories_id"]) . '&products_id=' . $random_featured_product->fields["products_id"]) . '">' . zen_image(DIR_WS_IMAGES . $random_featured_product->fields['products_image'], $random_featured_product->fields['products_name'], SMALL_IMAGE_WIDTH, SMALL_IMAGE_HEIGHT);
$content .= '<br />' . $random_featured_product->fields['products_name'] . '</a>';
$content .= '<div>' . $featured_box_price . '</div>';
$content .= '</div>';
$random_featured_product->MoveNextRandom();
}
?>

also, how do i change the "manufacturer" section to read "designer"? as seen here -- http://www.templatemonster.com/sampleView.php?type=16
