Limit "new listing" to a specific category

[SoftCorpse]

Is there a way to limit "new listing" to a specific category by using some php code in the web url?

Something to the effect of when you click on a category with products, below the products you have a "New Products For December", is there perhaps a static link that I can use to do the same, but simply to list all of the products?

I have tried different variations of the [storename]/index.php?main_page=products_new and trying to add the path to the specific category ID I want the listing for after that, i.e. [storename]/index.php?main_page=products_new&cPath=91_870_880 but have not succeeded thus far.

Or perhaps even a custom search string which will list only the new products for a specific category or search phrase.

Thanks for your thoughts and help.

Well what is it you seek??
A specific category or All products???

Sorry, I meant "all" the "new" products of a "specific" category for the month. So if my tree looks something like this:

Main---
|_Hand Tools
|_Power Tools
|_Garden Tools

When I add products to all of these categories and click "new products" it will list ALL the new products added for the month, I however just want to be able to add a static link for each of those categories which would list only the new products for each category. So a link I would make for "Hand Tools" would only list the "new" products for that category and not ALL the new products added.

Thanks for the response! Xmas greets btw

That sounds like how a default listing is

See it in action HERE

No, not like that. If you click on "New Products ..." it lists every single new product regardless of which category you put them in. I want only one specific category to be listed, so if I make a static link called "DVD Movies" I want only the dvd movies to be listed in the same style as the "new products" are listed as.

You can edit your database (Backup First) and alter the date added for all but those you want listed

Then admin > config > maximum values > New Product Listing - Limited to ...

BTW There are NO static links as all are dynamically created

No sorry, but that is not what I need. I don't think you are grasping the concept I'm trying to portray across to you. Let me further try to explain what I have in a different method.

If you go to the following link:

[storename]/index.php?main_page=products_new

It will list every new product added to every single category, what I would like is something like this:

[storename]/index.php?main_page=products_new&cPath=91_870_880

where "&cPath=91_870_880" = a specific category I decide on. So it will then therefore only select the "new products" added within only that category, being "&cPath=91_870_880".

Do you understand what I mean? I can then make a static link for my site to send the url to:

[storename]/index.php?main_page=products_new&cPath=91_870_880

and then in essence only display the new products for "&cPath=91_870_880" and so forth and make different links for different categories to display "new products" for each category instead of the default "new products" for ALL categories.
