    Default Adding featured/specials/

    Hi,

    When I go to add featured products or specials the page doesn't give me any options to add products.

    When I go to catalog->featured products or Specials -> Add product I get this page

    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
    Thanks

    Check or re-upload /admin/specials.php and /admin/featured.php and see if that assists

    Thanks,

    but that didn't seem to do anything, everything else seems to be working fine in the back end

    Did you manually enter your products or import them?

    How many Products do you have?

    How many are already on Special? Featured? Once on Special or Featured they do not appear in the dropdown ...

    What changes have you made to your site since this last worked properly?

    Manually entered the products

    About 280 products in the catalog

    There's 5 on featured and 1 on special I was deleting products from the specials before I discovered that I couldn't create new specials.

    No major changes with files just products, I've found another backend item not working is when I go to Reports-> Products Viewed the page loads and says Displaying 1 to 20 (of 281 products) but no products are being displayed

    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.
