PLEASE BACKUP ALL FILES BEFOREHAND JUST IN CASE!!
I haven't tested this but I would change skin1/customer/home_main.tpl as follows:
from:
{elseif $main eq "catalog" and $current_category.category eq ""}
{include file="customer/main/welcome.tpl" f_products=$f_products}
to:
Code:
{elseif $main eq "catalog" and $current_category.category eq ""}
{include file="customer/main/welcome.tpl" randoms=$randoms}
to replace the featured products
Then amend customer/main/welcome.tpl to:
Code:
{* $Id: welcome.tpl,v 1.21 2002/09/10 12:36:34 zorg Exp $ *}
{if ($active_modules.Greet_Visitor ne "") AND ($smarty.cookies.GreetingCookie ne "")}
<h3>{$lng.lbl_welcome_back}, {$smarty.cookies.GreetingCookie} </h3>
{else}
<h3>{$lng.lbl_welcome_to} { $config.Company.company_name }</h3>
{/if}
{$lng.txt_welcome}
{if $active_modules.Bestsellers ne "" and $config.Modules.bestsellers_menu ne "Y"}
{include file="modules/Bestsellers/bestsellers.tpl"}
{/if}
{include file="customer/main/randoms.tpl" randoms=$randoms}
then creat a new template
customer/main/randoms.tpl
Code:
{* $Id: randoms.tpl,v 1.13 2002/05/20 06:55:20 lucky Exp $ *}
{capture name=dialog}
{include file="customer/main/products.tpl" products=$randoms}
{/capture}
{include file="dialog.tpl" title=$lng.lbl_random_products content=$smarty.capture.dialog extra="width=100%"}
then creat a new lbl in the languages area named lbl_random_products with the value that y9ou want to have shown in the top of the box.
