I am pretty sure you can set the number of products per row by altering this line of code:

<?php $i++; if($i==$this->getItemsPerRow()): ?>

You can set

$this->getItemsPerRow()

to whatever you want the number of items in a row to be and it should create a new row automatically after it reaches that number. I ended up using a custom solution when this one didn’t work, but that is essentially the same code that I changed to get 2 rows of 4 items each in the one that I used.

Hope that helps!!

Hi Matt,

Thanks for the response; however, what exactly should I change? I have been playing around with that portion of the code but nothing seems to be happening. If I want 5 items per row and 4 rows, what should I alter?

Thank you,
Karan

In which portion of the code can I add a line separator between the rows?

Thanks,
Karan

I know why it does not work for some people, and is a stupid thing.

Watch out for the ” when you paste the code in the home content:

{{block type=”featuredproducts/listing” template=”inchoo/block_featured_products.phtml”}}

Magento transforms your commas to a diferent sign (like a italic comma o something like). You only have to retype ” manually the four commas and It works fine.

Excuse my english

to all who want to uninstall: run extension manager and uninstall the extension here. but theres one entry left in the database. table “eav_attribute”. find “inchoo” and delete the row. you are done!

When we go to the complete listing on http://www.yoursite.com/featured-products in the toolbar the pager links are missing.

So if you have for example 100 items and you display 10 items per page, you only see the first 10 items and you cant’t go to page 2 to 10.

How to fix this?

is this working on 1.6.1 yet ??

If you are having trouble with it showing on the home page use this, worked for me. ver 1.6.1

{{block type=\”featuredproducts/product_list\” name=\”featured_product\” as=\”featured_product_list\” template=\”catalog/product/list.phtml\” }}

I have this plugin installed but somehow I don’t see the button to add a product to the card and also the price is displayed twice on the website. See http://www.zpagetti.de

Anyone a solution for this?

I tried everything, nothing worked until I double checked the file structure on the server and found that in my case one thing was missing – the /featuredproducts/ folder.

So I changed the original code (note the corrected quotes)

{{block type=”featuredproducts/listing” template=”inchoo/block_featured_products.phtml”}}

to

{{block type=”featuredproducts/listing” template=”inchoo/featuredproducts/block_featured_products.phtml”}}

and it did work for me.

Thank you, man. Your Solution works for me too.

Hi, I’ve installed your extension for featured products. It’s in my App>community folder but not showing in admin..any ideas why?

Hi all,

I’ve installed this plugin into my magento 1.5.1.1 version and this really looks good. The only thing that is not shown, is the add to cart button. Does anyone has a solution for this?

Thank you in advance!

Hello,
Your module rocks. but there is one problem with me.It somtimes shows the products and sometime not. What I did is to disable and enable the product to make it visible on the front-end.
Any idea why is it so

thanks

I love the module, is it possible to add an attribute text or textarea and for it to show up on the block added to the front page. For it to be called using $_product->getAttribute();

For example a video html code attribute called ‘videoembedcode’. To call it using $_product->getVideoEmbedCode(); Like when you do it on the product page.

What code do I need to add?

Hi

Is there a way to include the category-path in the url as well (frontpage block).

At the moment the url looks like this:
…/product.html

I’d like to have it more like this:
…/category/product.html

I’ve been trying to change the file located in:
/template/inchoo/featuredproducts/block_featured_products.phtml

<a href="getProductUrl() ?>…

does anyone know hot to optimize that?

thank you

It was the either the dns playing up or the attribute was not visible on product list.

Thanks again Silv

Hi, all.

i put this code {{block type=”featuredproducts/listing” template=”inchoo/featuredproducts/block_featured_products.phtml”}} and i cant see in the home page.

but de page featured-produts it ok!

what i do wrong?.

sorry to my english….

thanks!

Hello, first of all thanks for this great extension. I have got this working. But just one thing. The special price is not being updated properly in the homepage. Upon the expiry date, the price should return to normal price. But I have to do it manually in the homepage. The price showing correctly in the product page after expiry date.

inchoo,
thank for the extension. Please, kindly, add a ‘usage section’ to the readme to save some unexperienced users some trouble (i spend some time reading all comments, troubleshooting typos an path problems regarding your posted usage of the “block display”. My suggestion is:

 USAGE
 ***********************************************
 1. Mark Articles as featured in the designated interface:
  BE: admin menu: Catalog > Featured Products
 2. You can view featured products page on url: http://www.yourstore.com/featured-products/
 3. You can add a block to a CMS Page (e.g. Home Page) this way:
  {{block type="featuredproducts/listing" template="inchoo/featuredproducts/block_featured_products.phtml"}}
  or using your own theme-template file:
  {{block type="featuredproducts/product_list" name="featured_product" as="featured_product_list" template="catalog/product/list.phtml"}}

Thank you very much for your time and effort.
