Hi,

I found your fantastic featured plugin for magento.
There’s only one thing I can not get fixed.
The products are not horizontal aligned in the center and the horizontal spaces between the products are not equal.
You can check it at http://www.antroposofischepoppen.nl/

Running on Magento 1.6.2.0
Is this a known errror? Do you know how to fix it?

Thanks !

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\” }}

Hi,
Just added this extension to V1.5.1 but having a few issues.
On the front end the products do appear but the image size coming up is the full image size not the tumb nail size set as 80×80, can you help fix this issue?

Also in the admin section once I select a product to be featured and save it, it adds it to the featured product but removes the Std VAT to No VAT, how to fix this issue?

pls help ASAP, as this is on a live site.

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?

I have this working just fine with 1.5.1.0 however if my partner changes the selected featured products on his computer, nothing saves. On my computer everything works fine. Please help.
Thanks

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!

Great work, Thanks a lot! Works fine in 1.5.1.0, but how can I truncate the product name in the “block_featured_products” ?
My Names are too long, so I need to shorten it.
Can someone please help?

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

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

Thanks,

Hi Matt,

I found that I can alter the number of items per row through the admin panel. It is currently set to 5 but it is not creating a new row for items more than 5.

Thanks,
Karan

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

I forgot to add that you can edit that part of the code by going to app/design/frontend/enterprise/default/template/inchoo/featuredproducts/block_featured_products.phtml

By: Matt W

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

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!!

Working well on 1.6. Has anyone set it up to span multiple rows?

Currently I have it set up for 5 products per row, how can I get it to create a new row if there are more than 5 featured products?

Thank you for the great extension!

in Magento 1.5.1, I try and save the featured products, but after clicking save it just gives a blank page. Can you please help?

I think i solved the home page thing. I uninstalled some extensions, like 10 of them which i didn’t use anymore, mostly related to cms pages and now this module works

Having the same issue with not being able to show the featured products on the Home page.

Tried rewriting the code manually in the home page’s content area but no success.

using magento 1.4.2
