Re: How Do I Make Whats New Show in Center Collum on Home Page?

All i want to do is show my New Products Sidebox on the index page only i have tried a ton of different fixes from using search here and none of them are working for me i have tried adding

if( $_GET['main_page'] == 'page' && $_GET['id'] == '2' && $_GET['chapter'] == '0') {

code

}

to the tpl_whats_new.php and nothing

i even tried

#categories {display: inherit;}

#indexHome #tpl_whats_new {display: block;}

on my style sheet

Re: How Do I Make Whats New Show in Center Collum on Home Page?

I think it has something to do with the index not being in a category ...hummmm it does show in each category and i can get the featured to show in the center of the index , how can i fool the new products to show on the home page with out it importing the categorys above it , the categories are already on my index i dont need them on there twice ,

on the index if it could show random from all categories that would be great
