New Products for *Month*

How are the products chosen for display in the "New Products for..." info box? Can I control what products are displayed as "new"?

 

Our info box currently says "New Products for May" but most of the products shown there were actually added a couple of months ago.

 

Our products don't change often so we rarely have New products.

 

My thought was that the new products are simply the last entries in the "products" table but that doesn't seem to be true.

 

Same question for the "What's New" box. Those items seem to be chosen from the pool of "New Products." Do I have any control over what appears in Whats New?

 

Anyone have an answer?

If you don't add new products monthly, you will see last added for looong-looong time :D

Instead you could use Featured Products to replace New Products for... . In this way, you will be able to select what products you want to be displayed. From the ones you will choose, will be displayed randomly.

Thanks for the reply. Unfortunately I still don't have an answer to my question of how the New Products are chosen.

As far as I know, it is done purely by date. If you on the homepage, then the last added products show. if you are on a category page, then the last added products from that category show.

 

You can alter the date added in your database and make any product you want to show in the new products module. Although the Featured Products add on is much more convenient.
