Can you add another box like best sellers to left hand column?

Hi there,

I would like to add another box to the left hand column like the best sellers box which lists the short description of each product on that page as a summery. Is it possible and any idea how I could go about achiving this.

Should be do-able. You could use a custom product list inside that box.

The Advanced Guide has an article on Advanced List Functionality which will help you see what's needed.

Basically

<actinic:block type="ProductList">
	<actinic:variable name="ProductName" />
	<br/><br/>
</actinic:block>

Alternatively you can use the existing best sellers or new products list. surround your current layout (bests eller or new products) with a block statement to only only show say items 1 to 6.

then create your new list in your design also using the best sellers list but use a block to show items 7 and over.

this way you can use the best sellers and split the results up. I used this method here http://www.casupply.co.uk you see a whats hot lists, new products and best sellers, i also used it to create the hotdeals in the middle.
