sorry if this is easy and I'm totally overlooking how this can be done... New to Miva.

What I'd like to do is insert a category of products in the message area of the storefront.

What I've done is create a category called "Feature Products" and have assign 3 products to it so I can dynamically changed the product as needed.

I've messed around with the tags is the pages area by creating a new page for experimentation. Using the <mvt:item name="product_list" /> from the PROD Products Page I can get the category of items to appear in my test. SEE:

http://store.trueimportsinc.com/merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=FEAT&Store_Code=TI&Category_Code=FP

so I've created another page for further testing. SEE:

http://store.trueimportsinc.com/merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=TEMP&Store_Code=TI&Category_Code=FP

When I add the same tag to the body of my test Template page the 3 products won't appear. Is there a way in Miva to use an include or something? I'm not understanding why the product would show up in one page but not the other?

What in the world do I need to do to get this to work? seems like this should be a no brainer... Miva seems messy compared to other server/script/database solutions...

Thanks!
Dave

Do you have the "category" item checked for the SFNT page?
