Hi,
I am wanting to add some featured items to my home page in a table in the custom part of the home page rather than in the Featured Products section.

Does anyone know what code to add to achieve this?

Thanks.

Please define the "custom part of the home page".  Do you mean the textarea that features an HTML editor in the home page admin settings?

This is nothing that can be done with stock functionality.  How is your ASP scripting mojo?

You may help yourself by pasting a mockup image of what you want to accomplish so that those who help here can visualize what you are trying to accomplish.

Do you want a static set of "featured" products to show there? - If so you could try adding the products you want into the regular featured products area and then grabbing the chunk of HTML code from the home page using "View Source" - that would be a good starting point - as long as you don't need it to be dynamic. This will need a bit of HTML mojo, otherwise ASP mojo is required as Greg said :-)

I am not an ASP scripter so it might be easier just to grab a static set of products rather than trying to do it dynamically.

Thanks for the help.

if you can form a bit of HTML and set up a table, it should not be difficult to prepare a grid layout of whatever format will fit within your design.  Just Google HTML table if you need help, but here is a good example. http://www.w3schools.com/html/html_tables.asp

Where strings like "row 1, cell " appear in the example, this is where you need to place a HTML image (IMG) tag to point to your featured products.  http://www.w3schools.com/tags/tag_IMG.asp
