Since I'm feeling nice and someone asked for it, here is the code I use to display my featured products in 2 seperate rows. This took me a while to do, since I'm not an expert in SMARTY tags. Anyhoo, here it is.

{* $Id: featured.tpl,v 1.13 2002/05/20 06:55:20 lucky Exp $ *}
{* petsupplyonline featured products template *}
{* not released under any licence, not allowed to sell this *}
{capture name=dialog}
{if $f_products ne ""}

{section name=product loop=$f_products}
{ if %product.first% }
<table border="0" width="500" align="center">
{/if}

{ if %product.index% is even }
<tr> 
    <td><table width="250" border="0" >
        <tr> 
          <td width="80" rowspan="5">
{* IMAGE *}
<a href=product.php?productid={$f_products[product].productid}&cat={$cat}&page={$navigation_page}>{include file="product_thumbnail.tpl" productid=$f_products[product].productid product=$f_products[product].product}</a></td>
        </tr>
        <tr> 
          <td>
{* NAME *}
{$f_products[product].product|escape}</font>
<font class=ProductTitle></font>

        </tr>
        <tr> 
          <td>

        </tr>
        <tr>

Thanks

Oh sorry, that's my own thing... just take it out and it'll be fine.

[Blackhawk]

I copied this in to replace my featured.tpl since I hadn't done anything with it yet.. and it doesn't do anything at all.

I must be daft.

[jpsowin]

Did I mention to always make backups and that I'm not responsible for any explosions

It works for 3.3.2, I'm not sure about the others.

[Blackhawk]

Well that's no help!!

[jpsowin]

I don't know what to tell you... it should display something even if it's an error. Are you running 3.3.2?

[Blackhawk]

I'll check it out more.. I'm running 3.3.1

[Blackhawk]

Do I have to enable something?

My front page has a "Featured Products" section.. and nothing list.. no error.. nothing.. ??
