I'm having some trouble here trying to rectify this.

Someone please help.

The featured products are shown from the welcome.tpl file
Check if this line is included into your customer/main/welcome.tpl file:

{include file="customer/main/featured.tpl" f_products=$f_products}

Thanks for replying.
Yes of course it is there. I just check.

Since I reverted back to the original files as were before I attempted the mod, I can't understand why this is happening.

Any other ideas??
Thanks.

looks like a nice mod, i'll have to try it. Thanks for the work.

excellent mod. thank you for sharing your work. i do have one quick question.
any chance of getting this to only show recommended products when the featured products query returns no results?

great mod ... works well in 4.1.2

only one thing that doesnt show is the price. instead it displays "Enter Your Price" ...

After looking into this it's because the 'taxed_price' field isnt passed to the $randoms smarty variable ..

Any ideas on how i can get this field passed ?

Thanks & Regards

Ok ...

i've tried putting the addtional code in just before the smarty assign ..

but now i get a blank page..

the code i have in random.php is as follows:

// the database query
$query = "SELECT $sql_tbl[products].*, (SELECT MIN($sql_tbl[pricing].price) FROM $sql_tbl[pricing] WHERE $sql_tbl[pricing].productid=$sql_tbl[products].productid AND $sql_tbl[pricing].quantity=1 AND $sql_tbl[pricing].variantid = 0) AS price FROM $sql_tbl[products],$sql_tbl[pricing] WHERE forsale='Y' AND avail>0 ORDER BY RAND() LIMIT 6 ";

// give the product array to smarty to make it available sitewide.
$randoms = func_query($query);

if (is_array($randoms) && count($randoms) > 0) {
foreach ($randoms as $k=>$v) {
$randoms[$k]["tmbn_url"] = func_get_thumbnail_url($v["productid"]);
$randoms[$k]["taxes"] = func_get_product_taxes($randoms[$k], $login);
}
}
$smarty->assign("randoms",$randoms);

Can you help ?

I think i've sorted the issue..

I had to comment the following line:

$randoms[$k]["tmbn_url"] = func_get_thumbnail_url($v["productid"]);

The function 'func_get_thumbnail_url' doesnt exist in v4.1.2
(By looking at the /log/x-errors_php-xxxxxx.php file)

The thumbmail still displays and the link to more product details work fine too.

This is a beauty in 4.1.2, thanks.

Can anyone get it to be category specific to the current cat. vs. random? The nice thing about this is you can use it for multiple instances. Like a "You Might Also Like..." and a sorta auto-generated cross-selling mod IF it was category specific.

Anyone?

Thanks!
