Default featured products help

hi guys,

you may have noticed that the featured products can only be selected from the admin panel. the problem is that you have to manually select the items from admin panel and it doesnt appear if the products goes out of stock or you dont assign any product to featured products section.

Now the questions i have in mind are:

1: The selection tool of admin panel: how can change it sql query so it would show only those cats and products in stock to select item for featured products? it is showing all items and you dont know unless the product is in or out of stock until you view on the website. A slight change in query such as WHERE category=>1 product AND quantity =>1, could sort this problem out but HOW?

2: lets say we want to add another function in such as if we dont assign an item for featured products in keyboards category then it should dynamically show 6 items itself from keyboards category. i can understand that would be different on front page which we can assign on daily basis but when it comes to 100 categories and 6x100=600 items to assign for the store, well i dont call it feasable. any solution from you guys so featured products are automatically assign 6 items from featured category if we dont assign any product from admin panel. it would save a lot of time and pages would feel packed with products.

kind Regards,
