X-Cart forums

This is my first site using x-cart and I am not a developer.

I need some help to create a new listing like "Featured Products" that displays only products with "Free Shipping" set to yes in the product setup. I have an image in the welcome content (welcome.tpl) that I would like to use to link to this new listing of products.

Here is what I have done so far...
1) In welcome.tpl - added the image and linked it to help.php for now:
<a href="help.php"><img src="{$AltImagesDir}/2column/free_ship.jpg" alt="" /></a>

2) I have copied featured.tpl to a new file called free_shipping.tpl. I changed lbl_featured_products to lbl_free_shipping_products and added the label in the admin page.

Here I am stuck...
1) Where and what do I need to change to use the same layout as featured products but only when "Free Shipping" is "yes" - whether the product is featured or not?
2) How do I link the product listing to the image?

Any help would be much appreciated!

You can create new contents pages in admin/static pages but they are just that - static pages. You can put any contents you want in them.
To have something that will dynamically list specific products based on some criteria you will need this custom coded. Your specific request doesn;t exist as standard in XC. You can contact me or any other XC developer for professional help

I was able to figure this out on my own - just wanted some direction.

It may be a bit of a hack job since this is not my area of expertise, but it does what I need it to.
