feature items descriptions not showing up

Hi Every one

for the past week I've been trying to figure out why my descriptions for my featured items are not shown on the home page.

Please take a look at

http://www.weddingandgems.co.uk

it should look something like this


Any ideas would really be appreicated as I'm completely stuck now.

Thanks

Re: feature items descriptions not showing up

The Centerboxes do not include products_description ...

Centerboxes are just a quick glimps of the products you have based on:
New
Featured
Specials
Upcoming

If you were to click on the Featured Products link then you could see the Description ...

You can always customize your shop to work the Centerboxes in another manner for Featured Products or any of the other Centerboxes ...

Re: feature items descriptions not showing up

You would want to set up the featured products to draw 2 across then re-do the layout for that design ...

I am not a designer so I don't have a design to pull out of my bag of magic tricks ...

But think of each Product as 1 box within the layout ... get the layout right for the 1 Featured Product and the others will follow suit ...

You will also need to change the SELECT statement to include the products_description field for that display ...

Re: feature items descriptions not showing up

Thanks sounds a bit to complicated, but I'll kept it in mind for when i become far more comfortable with php.
