Have you noticed that every Magento eCommerce store looks better when equipped with a “Featured Products” homepage, well here is an extremely useful link from “Magento Commerce” to help you replicate that on your own site, while if you have an actual store, getting the right curtain walling installation can be great to maintain your store secure and in business more time.
I have used it on several occasions and it works a treat, hope you find it useful.
Adding Featured Products to Magento Homepage
Alternative Option:
I have noticed that some parts of the original link doesn’t work, so I have found an alternative and much simpler way to do this.
To Add All Products from one Category
Go to “CMS – Manage Pages” and select “Home Page” from the list of pages.
Use this code snippet to show one category on your front page:
{{block type="catalog/product_list" name="home.catalog.product.list" alias="products_homepage" category_id="4" template="catalog/product/list.phtml"}}
The category ID can be found when you go to “manage category” and then select the category you want. The ID is written in the header.
Examples are outdated, dosent work in magento 1.4.1
If you want other ways, maybe just to add one product to a particular page, view the link below. Its REALLY helpful.
