Hi,

I need to create a page that just shows featured products.
I have had a look at the menu and the virtuemart categories options but cannot seem to get it to show just featured products.
Any ideas please?
Thanks

You can fill a page with featured products using the products module.

Hi,

Thanks for that, I have set it up but the layout is not the same as the rest of the shop.
How do I easily fix that ?

jenkinhill

I have used modules with template overrides which worked OK, but just now I ran a test using the current VM menu options and got a page full of featured products which is the same layout as a normal product list.

Create a new menu item of type VM category layout.  On the category view setting page set all options to NO except for "Show featured" and set the "Rows for feature products" to a suitably high number. Job done!

well this is weird, all the others work perfectly just not featured.
VirtueMart 3.2.14 any ideas ?  :-[

jenkinhill

Like you say, weird. I don't know it that would be affected by seetings in Configuration/Templates. I guess you do have products set as On Featured?
