This is a pet supply site that mostly deals with local customers in the Cranbrook BC Canada area.

The site uses the latest UC 1.x module. There are sill some cosmetic changes I need to do but for the most part is ready to go.

Looks nice! How did you get featured products to show up on the home page like that? (Addon module of some sort?)

Hi,

Its pretty simple actually. All I did was to create a CCK text field which I choose to be a check box and named it "Featured Product" So when the customer creates a product he/she selects the "Featured Product" check box.

Then I created a block view for each main category which displays the items that have the "Featured Product" selected.

Then I created a new region in my template and inserted the featured product views into the new region.

It then displays the "Featured Product" at random on the front page.

Re: Cranbrook Pet Supply

I was able to get this working, thanks. Now my question is... it is showing multiple images for a product for 'featured products' that have multiple images associated with them.

Is there an easy way to make it only show the primary image associated with each product, for this view?

Thanks,
Chum

Re: Re: Cranbrook Pet Supply

In your view under fields > handler you should be able to select "Show first value only" If yu don't have thyt option you'll have to update you ImageField to ImageField 5.x-2.6. You might have to updatwe your CCK also.
