Includes in home page

[busby1]

I am using the client software as i am not a coder.

the problem i have is the home page of the client software is empty, so wanted to include featured merchants and some featured category's between the search dive and the hot picks div. (as is done at shopwindow.com)

I have tried doing it according to the instruction in the pespoke pdf that AW supply but i cant get it to work.

Can anyone help please

BUT follow the advised way near the bottom - the Shop Window block is just a hardcoded content block.

Thanks, I have tried including the featured merchants tpl also created a new div id but to no avail.

i just cant get featured merchants to show,

I was wondering if because its the home page, no search has been submitted and no categories been choosen, does the featured merchants need one of these actions to be completed before it has anything to choose merchants from

Just an idea....

I had something silmilar when trying to put descriptions in for the hot_picks.

See Thread:

Now although it is different, I think your guess about the lack of a search fits both problems.

May be worth trying the same for featured merchants data as the hot_picks.php runs for the index page.

Just my opinion - I'm still learning! (and I still can't get the merchant logo's to show!)

If anyone knows better.......
