Default Featured Products not working

I've tried to install featured products three times now but I must be missing something obvious! I'm getting snowblind now I think... "Featured Products" will appear collectly in the back office under Configuration but not in Catalog. I think I've done everything correctly in the readme bar #13:

edit /catalog/index.php and change the two instances of FILENAME_NEW_PRODUCTS to FILENAME_FEATURED

FIND:

<tr>
<td><?php include(DIR_WS_MODULES . FILENAME_NEW_PRODUCTS); ?></td>
</tr>

ADD BEFORE:

<tr>
<td><?php include(DIR_WS_MODULES . FILENAME_FEATURED); ?></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><?php echo tep_draw_separator('pixel_trans.gif', '100%', '10'); ?></td>
</tr>


I navigate to Catalog>index.php but FILENAME_FEATURED nor any tables are to be found at all. Am I looking in the wrong file?

Getting very confused here. If anyone can help it would be great!

HTML Code:
 <tr> <td><?php include(DIR_WS_MODULES . FILENAME_NEW_PRODUCTS); ?></td> </tr>
The above code is not located in /catalog/index.php in osCMax. It is located in the template file /catalog/templates/fallback/index_default.tpl.php, that is your problem.

You are adding it to the wrong file.

Thanks Michael_S
Very much appreciate the response. I figured that out after my last post and chaged teh code in /catalog/templates/fallback/index_default.tpl.php accordingly. I went through teh whole process (bar #15, the STS templates bit ) and still no joy. "Featured Products" now no longer appears in the Admin or Catalog menu of teh back office, nor the home page.... bizarre!

osCMax does not use STS, so that is also a problem. osCMax uses BTS (Basic template structure)

You are not installing it correctly I think. Start over. Do the admin side first, as that is easier. Then once you have it working, then start on the catalog side.
