    Default Mark old product as new?

    Hello, I am running the latest version... no addons... anyway that shouldn't matter for this.


    Usually in my store when an item goes out of stock I have it set to "hide" the item so it won't be displayed, but I keep the item in the admin panel incase I get it back in stock.

    What I want to be able to do is make these items show up in the "new products" section when I get them back in stock, without having to delete and recreate the item.

    This will make it a lot easier for people to quickly see the items that are back in stock with the items that are actually new.

    I don't really care about the wording 'new' versus 'back in stock', I just want the items to be clear and on the main page on on the new products link.

    Is this possible? and if so how do I do it.

    thanks !!

    In v1.3.x you'll need to go into the database and do a raw direct edit to that product record's date_created field.

    In v2.0 (under development) you'll be able to set a "treat as new" date from the admin product-edit page.
