This might sound weird but I have been looking for a way to change the Featured Module a bit.
Instead of adding products (featured Products) I want to change to featured Categories.
I have searched a lot and I could not find anything related to this.
I have a commercial template that I am using for a customer and we need to have featured categories, not featured products.
Any help would be appreciated
See image below

fido-x has a 'feature selected categories on the home page' module:
http://www.fido-x.net/index.php?route=p ... oduct_id=4
- not quite what you asked for, but maybe it will help you

Revisiting this.....
Fido-x mod is nice but does not serve my purpose.....
I have already figured out how to point out categories instead of products but I now have another issue - hopefully someone can help out.

When a new category is created, it gets an automatic category number based on what you have done so far to your store.
where can I control that category number?
If I get rid of all my products , categories, brands, etc; the numbers do not start from zero again - and I'm thinking it has to be done on the database itself. but where? - i made some changes on my DBase portion but it has no effect on the store.
I might be looking at the wrong place so hopefully one of you can point me in the right direction.

Hopefully I made sense. See pictures attached for more reference

the number is from the database. Each table with an "id" table has an "autoincrement" setting. So they automatically increase to the next number. deleting doesn't decrement. The only way to fix it is to delete all items first, then go through each table and reset the autoincrement count. Check google for reset mysql autoincrement

Thanks Q
I'll try that
