News section for the website

Hi All,

I am new to ZEN cart and want advise on below-

My website is a showcase website abd I am not going to see anything from this but it will haave the product information and review,

  1. Is it feasible to create this kind of website using ZEN Cart?
    I personally think yes and I am working for the same, but if you have better suggestation than this, please let me know.

  2. I want a dedicated news section for my website above the product information, How can I do it, do we have any add on for this or with the original ZEN cart 1.3.9f, it is possible?

  3. So the news section can be added as a product also and later that can be sorted in such a way, (for example featured section) so that it will appear on the top. does it looks feasible?

please advise,

my website is https://www.3gmobilestop.com

thanks in advance

    Yes
    Admin > config > my store > Store Status > "1 or 2"

    As a side box but could be re-coded to be in center
    http://www.zen-cart.com/index.php?main_page=product_contrib_info&products_id=249
  1. So the news section can be added as a product also and later that can be sorted in such a way
    See above as it is a news manager

Open the sql patch in notepad - plain text only

admin > tools > install sql patches

Copy - paste - excecute
