Changing the order in which featured products appear on the storefront

If you want to change the order in which your featured products appear in a featured products list on the storefront, do the following:

1.Go to the 'Categories Management' section of the Admin zone (Management menu->Categories). You should see a form titled 'Categories'.
2.Use the 'Categories' form to go to the category level where you want to change the order of featured products.

Note: You can freely move between category levels by using category name links and the category level navigation bar: clicking on the name of a category brings you to a lower level in your category tree; clicking on a link in the category level navigation bar brings you to that specific level. See Navigating the category tree for details.

3.Scroll down to the 'Featured products' form (located below the 'Categories' form).
4.Edit the position numbers of the featured products that need to be moved (POS. column).
5.Click on Update. The order of the featured products in the Customer zone should change.

 

Disabling/enabling featured products

If you want to temporarily disable one or more products contained in a featured products list, do the following:

1.Go to the 'Categories Management' section of the Admin zone (Management menu->Categories). You should see a form titled 'Categories'.
2.Use the 'Categories' form to go to the category level where you want to disable the featured products.

Note: You can freely move between category levels by using category name links and the category level navigation bar: clicking on the name of a category brings you to a lower level in your category tree; clicking on a link in the category level navigation bar brings you to that specific level. See Navigating the category tree for details.

3.Scroll down to the 'Featured products' form (located below the 'Categories' form).
4.In the ACTIVE column, unselect the check boxes for each of the featured products that you want to be disabled.
5.Click on Update. The disabled featured products should disappear from the featured products list on the storefront.

Note: Disabling a featured product is not the same as disabling a product. Disabling a featured product using the method described above removes the product from the featured products list on a specific page; it does not disable the product in the categories to which it is assigned or remove it from any other featured products lists. Disabling a product using the 'Availability' field in the 'Product details' form completely disables the product in the whole store so that customers cannot view its details or order it.

To enable one or more of the previously disabled featured products, select the check boxes in the ACTIVE column for these featured products and click on Update. The featured products should re-appear on the storefront.

 

Deleting featured products

If you want to remove one or more products from a featured products list, do the following:

1.Go to the 'Categories Management' section of the Admin zone (Management menu->Categories). You should see a form titled 'Categories'.
2.Use the 'Categories' form to go to the category level where the featured products you wish to delete are located.

Note: You can freely move between category levels by using category name links and the category level navigation bar: clicking on the name of a category brings you to a lower level in your category tree; clicking on a link in the category level navigation bar brings you to that specific level. See Navigating the category tree for details.

3.Scroll down to the 'Featured products' form (located below the 'Categories' form).
4.Select the check box(es) next to the name(s) of the featured product(s) you wish to delete.
5.Click the Delete selected button below the featured products list in the 'Featured products' form. The featured products should be removed from the featured products list in the 'Featured products' form and on the storefront.

Note: Deleting a featured product is not the same as deleting a product. Deleting a featured product using the method described above removes the product from the featured products list on a specific page; it does not remove the product details from the database. Deleting a product via the 'Products Management' section irreversibly removes the product and all the related information from the database.
