Hi,

Have you tried using the 'Best Sellers' list (Marketing | Best Sellers)? The variables to display it should be included as standard.

Hello, thank you. I have tried playing around with this, but i cannot seem to get it to work. Could you possibly send me the code or an example screenshot of your code, just to see where i am going wrong.

or is there a tutorial?

No code is needed. This is a standard part of Actinic.

Go to Marketing / Best Sellers, check Enabled and create a few.

Go to Settings / Site Options / Layout / Best Sellers List and make sure that Location for Best Sellers List contains Home Page.

That's it. If the best sellers items don't appear then you've changed something and it will be hard for us to tell you what.

The default number across is 3. You can change this via Design / Library / Layouts / Best Sellers List / Home Page Best Sellers List / Edit List Layout Settings / Middle Rows.

All this is fully documented in the Starter Guide (Help / Starter Guide). Just look for Marketing and Promotion / Best Sellers and New Products.
