    Default New Products Box

    Hi,

    I would like to display 3 products in a time in my New Products box.

    See http://www.outsidelsat.com/ (I have renamed the box 'Enroll,' it is the first box on the left column.

    I couldn't figure out where to do this in max values. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks,

    Nate

    You set "Random New Products for SideBox" to 3. This will only display 3 products however if you have 3 or more which satisfy whatever time period you have set for new products.

    I don't see an option for "Random New Products for SideBox" under max values...?

    I see a "Random New Products For Box," but no sidebox references. Am I missing something?

    Thanks,

    Nate

    Sounds like the same thing, though that's a puzzling discrepancy. Maybe it changed between 1.3.8 and 1.3.8a.

    If you to edit it, does the box to the right have guidance notes that confirm that this relates to a sidebox?

    The box on the right is listed as sideboxes/whats_new.php in the layout boxes controller.

    When I tried changing "Random New Products For Box" to 3, nothing happened.

    Thanks,

    I think so. A little digging shows that the text you are seeing is from Zen Cart 1.3.7 and earlier. The feature that you want is from Zen Cart 1.3.8. So I'm guessing that you need to upgrade.

    Anyway to do what I want without upgrading? I just won't have time to upgrade until mid-feb and want the site to look good.

    Is there any code I can modify?

    Thanks,

    Nate

    I guess you could do a file compare on the relevant module and template files to see whether they would be compatible with 1.3.7. And then look at the SQL upgrade to see what database changes were done on this.

    If you're lucky, it might be possible to port this backwards, but I'm afraid I don't know whether that's the case.
