Tried out the features products plugin and really like it. What I really found I wanted was control over the template file for how it appeared. Managed to come up with a really simple patch for the plugin...
In the wpsc_display_featured_products_page function I updated it to first look in the WPSC theme folder for a template and resolve back to using the one in the plugin if one doesn't exist:
$theme_file = wpsc_get_theme_file_path( 'featured-products-template.php' );
ob_start();
if ( file_exists( $theme_file ) ) {
include( $theme_file );
} elseif( file_exists( $this_directory . "template/featured-products-template.php" ) ) {
include( $this_directory . "template/featured-products-template.php" );
}
$output = ob_get_contents();
ob_end_clean();
