Moving Feature box to the top

[comcoach]

Im using the Developer Version and 68gren template, where can i go in and make it so that in the indes, the feature box is listed on top (over the catagories box) and how can i give the feature box a name for example the categories have "Browse Categories" How can i give the featue box a name with that line accross?
Thank You

Check out some of the stickies in the template forums. It really helps to have an understanding of how the different templates interlock and work together to build a complete page.

Having said that, the body for the main page is home.tpl.php and the featured listings are created by the smarty function feature_listings_horizontal. This is called at the bottom of the home.tpl.php file with the following line.

{feature_listings_horizontal number=8 cols=3 table_attr='width="100%" style="border: 1px solid #000;"' td_attr='valign="middle" align="left"'}

You can move that to the top of the file to display it before the categories.

To add a header to it you will need to modify the function itself and that is

/includes/classes/smarty/plugins/function.feature_listings_horizontal.php

so in order to move it to the top, i should valign="top"

nvm, ignore the last comment i wasnt thinking straight, but what code or what should i add to that page in order to get a header in that features box

[comcoach]

Any idea on how to insert that header into the feature box?

i got that par, but how do you modify it?

Hi comcoach,

It's a combination of php, smarty and html -- If the contents of that function file don't make sense perhaps you know someone who can help.

The lines that begin with '$output =' build the table. I suggest keeping a clean unaltered copy of the file so you can revert to it if it gets too messed up (I speak from experience!!)
