Excellent extension
Review by Thomas Maier | Jul 5, 2011
Featured ProductsWe are using this extension since over a year now. A nice and easy way to promote your products at your shop in a pretty visual way.
Overview
Featured Products 3 is the next generation of the Featured Products extension. Thus the previous versions (Featured Products 1.x and 2.x) won’t be further developed to support the newest Magento versions.
Most online stores have a section named ‘featured products’. Your challenge is to make this section truly stand out and get the desired impact. Towards that end, Featured Products is a must-have Magento module for your store. You can statically or animatedly showcase products of your choice to lure them to explore the features and benefits of your product. As with all of our Magento extensions, you will have considerable flexibility to customize it to any store using our typically clean and intuitive user interface.
Features for website visitors
Appealing interface with a slideshow feature- New Slider type display: Give customers a stylish preview of the products to entice them to click through
- Featured products can be in shown 5 different types: the new and highly attractive advanced slideshow, compact slideshow with or w/o bottom text, simple row with or w/o bottom text
Help prospects make informed decisions with Tooltip
Lead customers in with the right hook- be it a catchy one liner or the most important product attribute
Features for store admin

Enjoy hassle-free set up and management of a high-value feature
- Define/ re-define product image sizes from the configuration panel
- Employ Different styles of the product buttons: numerical or product thumbnail
- Control the look and feel easily:
- Fully customizable look — just edit a simple CSS to change any color, objects placement and size, round corners etc.
- CSS in a separate .css file — customize it the way you need
- Ready to use CSS presets in the package
- No side libraries, all code is custom and very compact
- Ensure that featured products do get seen by website visitors
- 100% pure JavaScript and CSS, no flash or other embedded content, so your featured products won't be blocked
- Smooth JavaScript animation
- Consumes less processing (CPU) resource
New features in the latest version
- Ability to add a product to several categories
- Option to display a product featuring in the slideshow only on the main page if desired
- Display of a warning message if no product is found for showcasing as a featured product
- Choice of using a custom (different) image in the featured product slideshow if you do not want to use the product image
How it works
The Featured Products extension for Magento adds:
- 3 product attributes — 'aw_fp_enabled', 'aw_fp_category' and 'aw_fp_description'
- A control panel under "system configuration" that lets you configure the view of your extension
- A tab under product configuration options that lets you define the featured products and enter alternate text for the slideshow
- A template, which should be inserted into the store’s CMS on one or more pages where you wish to see your featured products
The template would start rolling after it has been added to a live page and at least one product has been marked as “featured”.
- Easy 2-minute installation
- 100% open-source
- Meets Magento programming practices
- Free upgrades during support period
Another great extension

This is wonderful!

Featured ProductsThis is such a great feature. Customers like things that move, and especially things they can click and play with.
I like this extension better than a flash animation because:
1. It is very easy to customize from the admin section,
2. You can add / edit / remove products easily,
3. The extension takes the pictures and current price directly from your database, so the prices are always current.
It was easy to install. Just play with the admin settings and the CSS file to put the picture, title, and price where you want it. For the bottom, you can choose page numbers or thumbnails. You can choose the time between stills.
Overall, it is great, I am very happy to have this on my site!

Good extension
Review by Chris | Aug 28, 2009
Featured ProductsGood extension, couple of things that would be good for future releases. Be able to isolate only items that have pictures in categories and rename the slider js, a lot of other templates use that name so will conflict. Good prompt support too! Look forward to getting the Min Adv. Price extension.
works great!
