"Does "What's New?" include all products?

Does "What's New?" list include all products?

 

I find my all products are there when I click "What's New?" arrow. Does this list include all products? or only certain amount of products or products uploaded from certain data?

 

Thanks for your help!

yes but controlled by a setting at admin. in date added order with the newest at top. if you only have say less than 20 products then it would probably list them all

Thanks.

 

If I have hundreds of products, they should all be there, isn't it? I could change the box title "What's New?" to "All products", isn't right?

yes if you change the setting MAX_DISPLAY_PRODUCTS_NEW in admin - maximum values to a number of greater than the number of products you possibly have, or in products_new.php change this line:

$products_new_split = new splitPageResults($products_new_query_raw, MAX_DISPLAY_PRODUCTS_NEW);

to

$products_new_split = new splitPageResults($products_new_query_raw, '9999');

that will show up to 9999 products.

theres also all products addons in the contributions section. its up to you which way to use. you can change the box title/heading to whatever you like, just need to look at the boxes/whats_new.php file, not difficult to spot where to make the change.

the above applies an unmodified osc shop especially no mod has ever been made affecting the products_new feature.

oops, ignore my last post RE changing of MAX_DISPLAY_PRODUCTS_NEW, no, that only affects products displayed per page, i mixed it up with the new_products module on home page. in products_new.php, the query does pull all products from db and display them in order of date added. you change the heading in the language file of products_new.php or if only one language then change directly HEADING_TITLE in products_new.php, if you like.

Thank you very much for your explanation.

 

As long as I confirmed that it does pull all products from db.
