<!-- BEGIN: random_prod -->

<div class="boxTitleRight">Featured Product</div>

<div class="boxContentLeft" style="text-align: center">

	<a href="index.php?act=viewProd&productId={PRODUCT_ID}" title="{PRODUCT_NAME}"><img src="{IMG_SRC}" alt="{PRODUCT_NAME}" border="0" title="{PRODUCT_NAME" /></a>

1. In the index.inc.php in the root of your store, find the following code:

	include("includes/boxes/randomProd.inc.php");

	$body->assign("RANDOM_PROD",$box_content);

ADD AFTER this new code:

	include("includes/boxes/randomProd.inc.php");

	$body->assign("RANDOM_PROD2",$box_content);



	include("includes/boxes/randomProd.inc.php");

	$body->assign("RANDOM_PROD3",$box_content);

2. Get rid of your edited randomProd.tpl - replace it with the original version, then remove the divisions that create the box. Example from Legend skin:



ORIGINAL:

!-- BEGIN: random_prod -->

<div class="boxTitleRight">{LANG_RANDOM_PRODUCT}</div>

<div class="boxContentLeft" style="text-align: center">

	<a href="index.php?act=viewProd&productId={PRODUCT_ID}" title="{PRODUCT_NAME}"><img src="{IMG_SRC}" alt="{PRODUCT_NAME}" border="0" title="{PRODUCT_NAME}" /></a>

	<br />

	<span class="txtCopy"><a href="index.php?act=viewProd&productId={PRODUCT_ID}" title="{PRODUCT_NAME}" class="txtDefault">{PRODUCT_NAME}</a></span>

</div>

<!-- END: random_prod -->

CHANGE TO:

!-- BEGIN: random_prod -->

<div style="text-align: center">

	<a href="index.php?act=viewProd&productId={PRODUCT_ID}" title="{PRODUCT_NAME}"><img src="{IMG_SRC}" alt="{PRODUCT_NAME}" border="0" title="{PRODUCT_NAME}" /></a>

	<br />

	<span class="txtCopy"><a href="index.php?act=viewProd&productId={PRODUCT_ID}" title="{PRODUCT_NAME}" class="txtDefault">{PRODUCT_NAME}</a></span>

</div>

<!-- END: random_prod -->

3. CREATE new box in global/index.tpl, and ADD random prod code in the new box.



EXAMPLE:

		<div class="colLeft">

		{CATEGORIES}

		<div class="boxTitleRight">Featured Products</div>

		<div class="boxContentLeft" style="text-align: center">

			{RANDOM_PROD}

			{RANDOM_PROD2}

			{RANDOM_PROD3}

		</div>

		{INFORMATION}	

		{CURRENCY}

		{LANGUAGE}

		</div>
