Well, the following suggestioin diverges from the standard approach to managing the ProductCart home page items, but it's an idea:

How about adding a flag to the product table that indicates the product should be included in a rotation of images that appear on the home page.

Then replace the code that displays the "Product of the Month" with a reference to a script that randomly selects a product that has been flagged as being part of the above-referenced rotation.

This is a high-level concept.  It's going to require a few hours of work to accomplish.  And as I say, it's not exactly integrated with the standard PC approach, but it could work.

On edit - I just realized what you were proposing concerning "order 0".  That could be done, and would avoid adding the flag.  It's still a bit of effort, but your approach could be done as well.

Howdy

Anybody got any ideas how to rotate 'Product of the Month'. I think a cool feature would be if the order '0' (ie the Main Featured product) has a few products with the same number('0'), it should scroll though these as the product of the Month, every time a customer looks at the main page.

Does that make sense..

Thanks

Rob
