i would like to have one or more featured items for each category

i used this post to help me do this

then edit a particular product and add featured items as another category

worked for me )

only thing i have found strange is if you have a featured item in more than one category as it shows only one up on the featured page, not sure how to fix this.

i dont want them on my home page, i want them on each category page

I am not sure I understand exactly what you are trying to do. By "category page", are you referring to the page you see when you click on a category? By default, that page shows all the products in that category.

right, on the page displayed when you click on a category, i would like to have a "featured" product for that category

if there are 20 products in a category and i have say 6 per page, i would like to have one product show as a "special"

when adding a porduct there is a field for "featured image" i would like to display this image somewhere in the page that is generated for the category

it could replace the "product preview" or go above the preview

just need to know what file to edit to display that featured image

[Jamie]

You can get that image to show up by putting this in the "show_product.php" or "show_product_detail.php":

<?=$Featured_Image?>

There is nothing built into the cart to handle displaying a product as a featured one for the category it is in.
