Change what appears on storefront page?
 

Hi all,
Is it possible to change the products that appear on the storefront page? Right now it shows the "latest" products added chronologically. Anyway to pick and choose?? thanks

Well, that isn't standard X-Cart behavior, so if you have an add-on, you'd need to disable it and put the standard 'featured products' module back, which is controlled via the 'Categories' area.

As far as I know it has been displaying "latest" products since we installed xcart. Is there some thing in the admin panel that maybe we need to change to make it show FEatured products?

thanks

Well, since your store is not secure, I was able to go in and look at your customer/main/welcome.tpl template (you need to fix that ASAP) and here's what it shows:

{include file="customer/main/newproducts.tpl" n_products=$n_products}

That is indeed an add-on from someone, it is not stock X-Cart. To remove that, and add the standard featured products module, simply replace that code with this:

{include file="customer/main/featured.tpl" f_products=$f_products}

You can then change your products via the 'Categories' link in the admin.

I stumbled to this thread and i'm now wondering if my store is secure. Is there a way to find out? Thanks balinor!

Not secure if:
1. anyone can go to www.yourdomain.com/admin (password protect admin and provider directories on a server level)
2. you are using master:master or default xcart user:password for admin (create new admin and disable the one xcart creates during install)
