I understand that featured products only show on subcategories when there are no regular products in that category. I've searched through the NG and can't find a way around this.

I'd like to show one featured item to the left of the products list - I guess that would be on subcategories.tpl. I have it working fine when there are no regular products assigned to the category, but not with products. Is this possible?

Thanks,

Tony

I think this is possible.


You need to be showing just one Featured Products (of course if it exists) for each category and subcategory in the left menu?

It's really in the left quadrant of the subcategories template. I didn't think about using the left menu. Since I'm not using the vertical menus, maybe it's possible to resize a left menu and show the product there.

I've attached an image to illustrate what I need.

Standings help you to solve this problem next week, unfortunately this week there is no free time to do it.

Several questions:
- If for this category are not specified "Featured products", this column will not show or will empty or ... ?
- If chosen sorting or next page for a list of products for current categorie, this column ( "Featured products") will still show or emty or...?

This is what i did to show the featured products also when the catefory has products assigned to it. (did this on xcart 4.1.10)

In home.php comment out

if (empty($products))


In

featured_products.php I added

$searchtype="featured";

just before

include $xcart_dir."/include/search.php";

and commented out

$smarty->clear_assign("products");

In include/search.php I replaced

$smarty->assign("products", $products);

with

if (!$searchtype=="featured") {
$smarty->assign("products", $products);
}

In products.php I added

$products = array();
unset($search_data, $products);

Just before

?> at the bottom of the page
