    Default How do I exclude some products from showing up in New Products listing?

    Hi! I am not sure whether this would work. Any ideas?

    I want to keep the 'new products for the current month' and 'Bestseller' showing on my website frontpage. But I want to exclude some items from showing up in these listings? How do I do that? The reason is that I have multiple gift certificates for sale, in different face values. But they are essentially the same thing. I don't want all of them to show up at the same time to bother customers. Any ideas? Thanks!

    You would need to change the products_date_added to older than the limit on your New Product definition in the Configuration ... Maximum Values ...
    New Product Listing - Limited to ...
    Limit the New Product Listing to
    0= All Products
    1= Current Month
    7= 7 Days
    14= 14 Days
    30= 30 Days
    60= 60 Days
    90= 90 Days
    120= 120 Days

    I need to exclude a whole categorie from showing in the New Products on the front page. Is the above fix the only way I can do this as I have over 60 items I would need to change?

    IF the master_categories_id is the same on all 60 products, then you could do a global replace on the products_date_added to be older so that they are not included in the mix ...

    Otherwise, you would need to customize the code to ignore products where master_categories_id = 1313 or what have you ...

    Oh my. I am sorry Ajeh - but that does not make much sense to me. I have only been using Zen for a couple of months and have no prior experience with css and php.

    So how do I do a global replace? As all the items I want excluded from the front page New products for ** are all in the Adult Products categorie.
