Hello!

I want to use the featured products extension.
The installation worked out smooth!

But now it just shows four random products and not only the featured ones…. So all my products are featured!

I’m running Magento 1.4.2
And i got no clue how to solve it.

Please help me out!

Thanx a lot in advance!

Grtz,
Tyn

@Jessica,

This code is really old (like 2008 old) and has not been tested with Magento 1.4, we have no idea if it will work at all. This is why you should use the extension instead.

Heyy Toni! Thanks for the quick reply. Actually I saw the extension but I would want this one since I do not like installing extensions.

I think the error might be coming from the Featured.php. I’ve been searching since 2 days and nothing.

Please help me out!

@Jessica,

We now have a Magento extension for this, there is no need to use this code. Check it out:

Hi, I’ve used the code and products are showing up on the homepage. But when I click on the product itself to go to its page, it says 404 error. The link structure is like so localhost/magento/index.php/catalog/product/view/id/5/s/some-product/.

How can I remove this part “product/view/id/5/s/some-product” from the link?

Please help me out, I badly need to get this to work.

for everyone who have follow all the steps above and doesn’t show anything in the home, be sure that you have replaced all the doble quotation marks ( ” ) in the step 6, because the copy paste don’t work well.

{{block type=”catalog/product_featured” name=”product_featured” as=”product_featured” template=”catalog/product/featured.phtml}}

As usual, I had to give up and post for me to find the problem. I had a mistake in config.xml. Thank you for the great code!

I can’t get it to work with 1.3.2.4 either. No code shows up in home page. I do have the featured attrib in all sets. Any other ideas?

Hi guys,

Does anyone know if this feature works with grouped products. I have a similar solution, but it wont work with “Grouped Products” and only “Simple”

Thanks

Thanks, it really works!

to Mike Pence – dont forget to
“Save the new attribute and go to Catalog -> Attributes -> Manage Attributes Sets to add the attribute to the default feature set.”

Forgot to mention, I’m using version 1.3.2.4

I have followed “ALL” of the above instructions and made the noted changes (above). When I go into Catalog -> Manage Products, WHERE is it that you set a Product to be “Featured” Nothing appears when using {{block type=”catalog/product_featured” name=”product_featured” as=”product_featured” template=”catalog/product/featured.phtml”}}

I really want to use this feature, ANY help would be much appreciated.

Hello Every One,

First of all you would clear or refresh the cache and then in Step one change the class name

MyCompany_Catalog_Block_Product_Featured

Mage_Catalog_Block_Product_Featured

then you will see the whole featured products on home page

Great Article, and I’ve got the code implemented into a clients with no problems, so much appreciated.

Has anyone else come across the situation where the product is set to disabled but the site administrator hasn’t unset the Featured attribute. Is it possible to extend the query to check the products status value as well?

If I find a solution, I’ll post it here first.

thanks

Simon
