Randomizing New Products

[zarintasu]

I'm wondering how I can randomize the "New Products" section on my main index, rather than having it show monthly and by the order they were added. Any way to do this?

Also, I don't see this anywhere for selecting which weight measurement system you would like to use..

 

 

Mine is only measurable in pounds, yet most of the things I sell only weigh in the ounces. It's difficult for some reason to get it to measure correctly. I have to put in -1.80 lbs for it to show the correct equivalent in ounces.

in catalog/modules/new_products.php @line 21

order by rand() DESC limit " . MAX_DISPLAY_NEW_PRODUCTS);}

the screenshot in your post is for MS3 ... the current release doesn't support weight settings, you define a unit (kg, lb) in your mind and have to keep it straight all by yourself throughout your store.

well the problem with that is.. in order for me to have it show the proper weight, i have to put the value of pounds in the negatives.. which i've been using -1.80. then if multiple items are added to the cart, it lowers the shipping price instead of raising it correctly

ehhh?? negative weight?

 

Please do not tell me you have left the tare weight and % raise as is and are trying to counteract that by negative weight values.

 

admin -> configuration -> shipping & packaging ... set both to 0 if you want to have only item weight show. Of course your packaging WILL weigh something also.
