Question about What's New....Help!

[diva_uno]

I wanted to put What's New with the product image on the front page of my site...So that each time I add a new item to my store it shows up on the front page of my site. Now I don't know if I use SSI or what. Can someone help me?!

Thanks in advance

Do you mean that you want the Shop itself to be your home page on your domain?

 

Or ... that you want new products to appear on the What's New when they are added?

[diva_uno]

first thanks for the reply.

 

I want just the new product to show on my home page so when people come to my home page they see the new item and click on it and it goes to the store.

If you are referring to http://www.mydomain.com then you want the /catalog loaded into your root. This would mean that the shop would be the first page of your site.

 

If you mean when they hit http://www.mydomain.com/catalog then that already happens based on your admin definitions of how many new products you want to show.

 

As soon as you add a new product ... *poof* there it is ... :D

I want to keep the catalog where it is http://www.mydomain.com/catalog. But when you go to http://www.mydomain.com this is my main page. I don't want the store to be my main page. I just want my new product to show up in my main page. Example:

 

This is my homepage not my catalog. And this is where I want the new item to show. I would just put the image of my new product on my main page and make a link to my catalog...but I would rather it update itself when I add a new product.

Look in the contributions. There is something for displaying products on other pages on your site.

 

The catalog is setup to run from a given directory and everything is based off of that.

 

It would be difficult to just grab a peice of code out of it without modifying it in someway to work with all the functions, images, programs, etc.

 

This contribution might help you place a peice of the /catalog on another page outside the real /catalog
