setup and control of new products display

[klancaster]

Hi everyone,

 

Decided to try my luck with opening a store front using OS Commerce. I am having trouble understanding how to control, configure, setup what products , if any display in the new products box(es). Would someone be kind enough to point a newbie in the right direction. I look for posts on the subject and was still unsuccesfull in understanding how it all works.

 

Thanks in advance for your help.

It's based on the date added to the catalog. This may help: http://wiki.oscommerce.com/helpHowtoLimitProducts

there is a section of the code that can be changed to alter the method used for selecting the products so that you can structure things other than by date added

I made a post all about this sometime before, this should be seerchable using keywords and my name, but I dont have the time to do that just now.

 

catalog/includes/modules/new_products.php

 

look for the 2 instances of

order by p.products_date_added desc limit

one is for the products on specials.

 

The order by can be changed to products_id name manufacturer ascending descending etc based upon the sql query
