vampirehunter Posted March 23, 2016 Share Posted March 23, 2016 Sorry if i'm trying to make something that someone has already done. But does anyone have a link to the plugin or code where we can replace the "new products for " products on the home page and have it show a featured set of products instead. I'm sure i saw the code before, but can't find it on my favourites list on browser. thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
♥14steve14 Posted March 23, 2016 Share Posted March 23, 2016 I take it you have searched through the addons area and canyt find a featured product addon. There are some, but whether they will need changing for BS version I dont know. If all else fails try this and go to day 7. http://www.28daysofcode.com/ REMEMBER BACKUP, BACKUP AND BACKUP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrPhil Posted March 23, 2016 Share Posted March 23, 2016 If you don't mind hacking the new products code itself, it shouldn't be too hard to quickly come up with a replacement for the New Products for <month>. Besides changing the heading and text, you would replace the database selection by most recent date with a fixed set of products. Extending this, you could randomly select from among several sets of featured products (or other criteria). You could even make one of them the standard "New Products for". If you want to update the selection(s) via the admin, that's a lot more work than just hard coding products into one file, but it could be done. Maybe this will get someone's creative juices flowing... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
