The file to amend would be the randoms.php file that I created.

I have a rather large DB myself, and the random idea is cool but I'm probably going to stick with the featured products list. However, I do like the two items idea. I was wondering how we could modify the featured products tpl to allow two items to appear on one row ? I tried doing it myself within the loop, but I can't figure out how to use smarty's code to generate my own counter variable and increment it each run, so I can use a modulus comparison to print out a </TR><TR> after every second row.

Any help would be appreciated..
