featured products help

im reposting this to get a better response.

i want a certain few select products to show in the featured products, how do i do this please?

Go to the Catalog ... Featured Products ... and add those few select products as Featured Products ... and voila! :cool:

will the product remain as part of the entire catalog or will it only show up in teh featured products?

Featured Products only enable the products to be included in an additional Featured Product Listing, Featured Product Sidebox, Featured Product Centerbox ...

As to the rest of the Catalog, the Featured Products behave in the same manner as a Product that is not marked as a Featured Product ...

ok thank you!

btw do you know anything about moving the add to cart box location?

Copy your tpl_product_info_display.php to your templates and overrides directory and then find the section marked off for the Add to Cart button and move it to where you want it ...

already tried that many times, i get syntax errors. and no i did not do it wrong i moved everything accordingly and it still messes up. any other way?

What are the exact errors are you seeing?

sorry, while we were talking my boss figured it out. thank you though.

I have some "specials" and some "featured" products.

I have the sideboxes activated for both.

The specials sidebox appears for the main page, any category pages and info pages, but does not appear for the product listing pages.
This is how I want my featured products sidebox to appear, but it always shows on the product listing page. Where can I shut this off?

By default, Specials sidebox shows on the Product Listings but not on the product _info page ...

Featured sidebox shows everywhere ...

Can you check where, specifically, you do not want to see the Featured sidebox?

An URL for where you are seeing the Featured sidebox and would NOT want to see the Featured sidebox would be of help ... :smile:

Thanks for the reply. I want the featured products sidebox to act the same way the specials sidebox acts. In other words, I want it to show everywhere except for the product_info page.

I was wondering ... as you were saying Product Listing but describing the Product _info behavior ... :eek:

Specials sidebox has a little more code than Featured sidebox, where specials has:

// test if box should display
  $show_specials= false;

  if (isset($_GET['products_id'])) {
    $show_specials= false;
  } else {
    $show_specials= true;
  }

  if ($show_specials == true) {

vs featured that has:

// test if box should display
  $show_featured= true;

  if ($show_featured == true) {

Using your templates and overrides, you can change this so that the two follow the same rules ... just note that on the featured sidebox the code setting the $show_specials needs to be $show_featured to work ...
