What determines the new products displayed?

 

I am a newbie to osCommerce & PHP but well versed in programming (Web sites, VB, Java, etc).

 

I thought it might be the product date introduction but it only list 9 out of 40.

 

Thanks in advance and to date ... this forum has worked very well for us.

 

Thanks for the help!

New products are selected by DATE ADDED (MOST RECENT).
You can modify the amount displayed in the admin>configuration>Maximum Values>New Products Module

You can "trick" the products to be displayed by modifying the database entry on time the product was added to the catalog. Table=products column=products_date_added
--Not to confuse your customers I would also recommend removing the code in catalog/product_info.php that displays the date the product was added on the product specific page.
 <tr>
	<td align="center" class="smallText"><?php echo sprintf(TEXT_DATE_ADDED, tep_date_long($product_info['products_date_added'])); ?></td>
	</tr>

 

or you can install featured products which will let you select which products to use.
