Main Page Missing Featured Items...etc.

Before I get into adding items...I have a question. My main page doesn't show any featured or newly added items. I know I don't have any added yet, but will these areas automatically propagate as I add items or is there something I need to change first?

Update: I added an item and the side boxes are there...however, only the products added in march box showed up on my center box? Do I need several items for the featured items box to display? I checked Index Settings and Featured Items is ON.

Re: Main Page Missing Featured Items...etc.

Have you made any of your items Featured?

Admin> Catalog> Featured Products

But I do learn quick...Thanks for the fast answer!

No problem :smile: I would suggest getting the eStart book (available as a download) - it will help explain and locate the gazillion switches and features available through the Zen Cart Admin.

Good idea! That's my biggest problem is all the different settings! But I guess I'll get used to it sooner or later!

Thanks!

Re: Main Page Missing Featured Items...etc.

Hi could anyone tell me if it's possible to add items from catagories you've made already to the featured list? Without having to add them seperatly to the featured items list.
