Control over products displayed on first page

[Guest]

I would like to know if there is any module available to replace new_products.php to permit control over the products displayed on the first page. Specifically, I would like to prioritise my products to determine which ones to show.

 

I have modified new_products to use the last modified date rather than date added but this is a hack. I'm thinking of extending the products table and adding a field but I'm sure this must be a common question and there must be existing contributions to do this?

 

A secondary question is whether anyone has attempted to read the referrer search query string, if it exists in the http request and use that to selectively display products. ie if someone on Google searched for soccer bracelets, then that is what is displayed.

 

Thanks

There is a nice contribution called "featured products" that does what you are looking for you can see it at:

This replaces the new products with ones you want called "featured products". It is also an easy install.

remember to backup before you begin.

Thanks. I knew there had to be something out there and my searching of the contributions had not found it.
