Guest Posted September 4, 2005 Share Posted September 4, 2005 I only have 25 products available in my store so set my New Product infobox on index.php to display 25 products. I'm just curious about how long they will stay there? I won't be adding any more products to the site in the future. After a certain timeframe will all the products just disappear from the 'New Products' box? Thanks! (p.s tried searching already) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
♥Vger Posted September 4, 2005 Share Posted September 4, 2005 'New Products' are new products forever unless 'newer products' are added. Vger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vger <{POST_SNAPBACK}> In my new products box the first cell has a bad link to a product that doesnt exist, it is always product 71. Where is the code to edit this box?

Guest Posted September 5, 2005 Share Posted September 5, 2005 I do not believe the code does that, unless you changed the default code ... it's in includes/modules/new_products.php <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Yes I have have just reloaded that from the original, and it is the same. I am confused as the number in the first box never changes as I add products. I have asked my host to look into it on the database. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted September 6, 2005 Share Posted September 6, 2005 admin -> configuration -> Maximum Values -> New Products Module Maximum number of new products to display in a category <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Thanks Monika, you are very helpful. I solved (in a fashion) my other problem by adjusting the 'date added' in my product database in case this is of interest to anyone else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vger <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Vger, I have added several products for September but my "New Products" is stuck in August (as far as the products go). It says "Featured Items for September" but it's lieing :-) see it at cabinfevergifts.com The products_new.php is correct though. Products just not rotaing at all.... Do you have any suggestions of what could be causing this? Thank you! Log Cabin Fever Gifts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you! <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Hi, like vger said products stay new forever ... unless you use a contrib that makes them expire after a certain time, like 30 days or so. Search in the contrib section. the current select statement just sorts and displays them, not looking how old they are. order by p.products_date_added desc :-) Monika addicted to writing code ... can't get enough of databases either, LOL! my toolbox: Textpad - Compare and Merge - phpMyAdmin - WS_FTP - Photoshop - How to search the forum Interactive Media Award July 2007 ~ category E-Commerce my advice on the forum is for free, PMs where you send me work are considered consultation which I charge for ...

Now it stays the same but thanks anyway. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> maybe you had a modded file for random selection of not one product, but a group of products? That can be easily accomplished ... is it possible your file got replaced? The vanilla version does not rotate. :-) Monika addicted to writing code ... can't get enough of databases either, LOL! my toolbox: Textpad - Compare and Merge - phpMyAdmin - WS_FTP - Photoshop - How to search the forum Interactive Media Award July 2007 ~ category E-Commerce my advice on the forum is for free, PMs where you send me work are considered consultation which I charge for ...
