I will get back to you shortly Mike.

Just to confirm, what new product layout have you selected in your site options?

Actinic | Settings | Site Options | Layout | New Products List | Your selection

Is this layout replicated & present when you view your layout code in the design tab?


O/T This must be fate, we have just had quotes on our bathroom (not decided yet they are all very expensive...hint hint )

but when i upload my site they arent their

I can see them OK - I assume you have fixed the problem or you may need to refresh/clear your cache

Hi
Have you still got the problem as I can see the new products down the right fine?

[los_design]

looks fixed now Mike.

[mikehextall]

yes it is fixed now, im having trouble generating new products and best sellers using the tabs at the top but seem to be ok for now, i have another query though, in this particular layout (smart) the best sellers and new products down the left will only show as writing and not pictures, ive changed it several times in site options but theirs no option for pictures how can i change that?

Look in the Advance User Guide

The article you are looking for is 'Using the 'Thumbnail' Image in the 'Mini' Item Layouts' on page 70 of the latest Advanced User Guide (v8_14).

The article is as follows:

The items in the best sellers list, new products list, also bought list and related items list all have a 'Mini' item layout. This includes the name, price and description of the product, and also includes a small version of the product image.

By default, the layout just uses the standard product image scaled down – but it is possible to use the image specified in the actual 'Thumbnail' product field instead.
To do this, click on the 'Mini' layout that you want to edit.
Locate the following code:

Replace all three lines with the following:
<actinic:block if="%28%3cactinic%3avariable%20name%3d%22ProductImageFileName%22%20%2f%3e%20%21%3d%20%22%22%29%20AND%20%28%3cactinic%3avariable%20name%3d%22ProductThumbnailImageFileName%22%20%2f%3e%20%3d%3d%20%22%22%29" >
<img src="<actinic:variable name="ProductImageFileName" />" width="75" alt="<actinic:variable name="ProductName" />" />
</actinic:block>
<actinic:block if="%3cactinic%3avariable%20name%3d%22ProductThumbnailImageFileName%22%20%2f%3e%20%21%3d%20%22%22" >
<img src="<actinic:variable name="ProductThumbnailImageFileName" />" alt="<actinic:variable name="ProductName" />" />
</actinic:block>

Apply the changes to the layout.
The layout will now use the 'Thumbnail' image, if available.

Kind regards,
