Sure this could be accomplished easily. First you need to have "Parse Smarty tags in the content of embedded static pages" checked under General Settings.
Put the products you want to display in Featured Products for a certain category.
Then in your static page:
Code:
{include file="customer/main/products.tpl" products=$f_products}
Then in pages.php:
Code:
// Change X to your pageid # and Y to the id of the category you want to display for that page
if ($pageid == 'X')
{
$cat = Y;
include './featured_products.php';
}
After...
Code:
if ($page_data) {
$filename = $pages_dir.$page_data["filename"];
$page_content = func_file_get($filename, true);
if ($page_content === false) {
$page_content = func_get_langvar_by_name("lbl_page_not_found", array(), false, true);
}
And before...
Code:
$smarty->assign("page_data", $page_data);
$smarty->assign("page_content", $page_content);
$location[] = array($page_data["title"], "");
I got this code a long time ago, not certain that it applies to your version. But it should point you in the right direction at least. I believe the original code was posted by Jon, but I can't find the thread.
