show one cat id, stop new products

[pageblair]

how do I show one cat id on main page ONLY , and stop new products from other categories listed as new. They are mingling on main page because I have new products set for 30 days.

you could do something like this here for the new products (not sure about just one category on main age, i will look into it)

http://extendmydesign.com/blog/?p=30

but the file you would need to edit is includes/modules/new_products.php

and instead of categories_id i think it is master_categories id

so you would have to add

and p.master_categories_id NOT IN(33)

change 33 to the category id you do not want to show

for just one category to be shown on the main page, you can do this in admin

configuration>layout settings>Main Page - Opens with Category
