Hello,

I think we may have modified a template somehow removing featured products from displaying. When I add a featured product to a category it just doesn't show. Any ideas where to start? I see nothing in the home.tpl file.

Thanks

Are they appearing on the home page as they should?
Home page featured products are called from skin1/customer/main/welcome.tpl

Featured products on the categories pages are called from skin1/customer/main/subcategories.tpl
Look for this code at the bottom:
{include file="customer/main/featured.tpl"}

Don't forget, featured products only appear on the categories pages when there are no actual products, ie just subcategories.

Thanks paul,

No, they're not showing on the home page, but that's probably because I've altered something there. Our home page is different now.

How do I get it to show featured products at the top of the page regardless of if there are products in a category?

Try removing the if statement around it that says "if there are no products, show the featured products".
So:
{if $products eq ""}
{if $f_products ne ""}
<p />
{include file="customer/main/featured.tpl"}
{/if}
{/if}
becomes:

{if $f_products ne ""}
<p />
{include file="customer/main/featured.tpl"}
{/if}

I tried this different ways and it still won't work. I did test it in an empty category and they did show up though. I just need this on pages with products.

I suppose nobody knows how to show featured products on a category page that has products already?
