Adding Featured Products to a Static Page
I am trying to add the Featured Products to one of my static pages. I tried copying the line in welcome.tpl that displays the featured products:
Code:
When I tried that, it displayed the Featured Products title, but instead of products, it displayed a message: There are no available featured products... I assume the variable $f_products was empty. How can I display the Featured Products on a static page? Any tips?

Not sure if it is easily doable, as the featured products are built into the products templates, not the static page templates.

Re: Adding Featured Products to a Static Page
Here is a quick way to do it
Modify pages.php: Code:
and then in your static page, insert: Code:
and be sure you have "Parse Smarty tags in the content of embedded pages" checked in the admin site.

Re: Adding Featured Products to a Static Page
I'm trying to do this on a 4.3 site.
They wanted a handful of static pages to be used as SEM landing pages, with featured products for a non-display category. So I've rigged the sidemenu to not display certain categories with pos > 800. Then created the category and featured products. So far my static page contains: Code:
But how do I pass the category parameter to the module? I also seem to be getting fatal errors when the included php module performs the smarty assign statement. Fatal error: Call to a member function assign() on a non-object in /var/www/devwww.aimbooks.com.au/include/categories.php on line 52

The best way I found to do this method so far is to write conditional if statement in the pages.php file similar to the following: Code:
Hope this helps Darren

In the file /pages.php, at the top, after this line: Code:
I have put: Code:
This means that if the Page ID (seen when you edit the page in the URL of the admin area) matches the $pageid variable, then it sets the category of the featured products to (in this case) Category 104. So when you edit a static page, you need to insert this code into the body: Code:
Note: make sure you have selected the option "Parse Smarty tags in the content of embedded pages" in the Pages section. This should now include the featured products from a particular category (the 104 ID) and include them in the specific page (with the Page ID 15). If you still need help just reply in here.
