    There has to be a detailed way you can explain what you are trying to do. The images on the front page are the images you put on each product, and of course the "what's new" module will show the new products, and not the ones you tell it (unless you change by hand the date added on some products to a future date)

    If you want to CHOOSE what items will be shown on the front page, you will need to add a contribution like "featured products", that will allow you to choose what products you want shown.

    okay, let's start at the beginning.

    what images are you talking about?

    Products?
    Headers?
    Template?

    Here are two websites. They are both running highly modified versions of osCMAX. They both have VERY different front pages. You have total control over what is displayed on the front page and how it is displayed. But before I can help you, I really need to know what you're talking about...

    Education 4 Kids, Schools Supplies, Education supplies, Teacher Supplies and Free Drill Games, Math Flashcards, Educational drill games and other drill games
    Pool Supplies Including Pool Pumps, Pool Filters & Pool Heaters
    so endith the lesson

    Hello Met00,
    I'm very interesting how about put boxes in center of mainpage like they did in "Pool supplies, ..."
    I asked the question in a thread here but maybe not with enought precision and got no answer.
    If you could explain how to do it, I will appreciate.
    Thanks for your help.

    1) create a base template for a "box" in photoshop
    It should have the right side component, the left side component and the middle component for the header (in this case 2 sizes)
    it should have a footer that is made up of the same components
    http://www.h2opoolproducts.com/images/box_bottom.gif
    and
    http://www.h2opoolproducts.com/images/box_bottom_lg.gif

    The box is "built" using the header (modified to whatever text you want to add to it) and footer and the sides are "added" just like any other box on the page (feel free to look at the source)

    This code will build a box with text in one TD and an image in the right hand side... reverse the table TD's for the image on the left...

    Code:
    <table width="350" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">
    	<tr>
    
    		<td colspan="4"><img src="images/title_line.gif"></td>
    	</tr>
    	<tr>
    		<td background="images/box_left.gif" height="100&#37;" width="10">&nbsp;</td>
    		<td valign="top" class="main"><a href="http://www.myside.com/index.php?cPath=110">The entire block of text that you want the link to.</a></td>
    		<td valign="top" width="150"><img src="images/product.gif"<br></td>
    		<td background="images/box_right.gif" height="100%" width="11">&nbsp;</td>
    	</tr>
    
    	<tr>
    		<td colspan="4"><img src="images/box_bottom.gif"></td>
    			</tr>
    </table>
    That code was for the 1/2 page images. The full width images are similar.
    so endith the lesson

    Hello met00,
    Thanks for your answer.
    It's some quite difficult for me but I will use it later, when my shops will be on-line, and test it on my localhost site.
    See you,

    Patrick
