Default Editing Frontpage, thumbnails, new products?

Hello,

I am near the launch of my x-cart site. I am using the fashion mosaic templete. I have afew challenges before the launch,

1. How does one show 'new products' or 'feature products' on the main page of one's x-cart site. I have looked through the back-end administration to no avail. Does one have to edit a tpl file for this and if so, how do you add/select products for it?

2. The image on the front page, does anyone know which tpl it is stored in (as I want to edit it but can't find it)

3. For thumbnail images, I understand it is controlled (in dimension) by a tpl file, I would like to have any images 120x80 or smaller left alone, does anyone know how to add a code to the exisiting code to implement this. I want to do this since my images are getting squished but for larger images, I still need x-cart to shrink them.

I would be most appreciative if someone could help me out

Thankx

1. Click on 'Categories'. There is a dialog box at the bottom to add featured products.

2. The front page is usually customer/main/welcome.tpl, and the image is probably in the skin1/images directory.

3. X-Cart resizes images based on a setting in General Settings/Appearance options. Just set the width to the size you want the thumbnails to appear at.

Hmm, no such file here, maybe due to the mosaic fashion theme. I have been digging away to no avail on that one, looking for the right .tpl
