Drawing attention to New Products?

Is there a way to put on or next to a product on both the category page and the product page something like this:

NEW ARRIVAL!

So that when you browse through a category/subcategory page, your eye goes to the new product, this would be especially great for returning customers to see whats new.

Sorry if this has been asked before, but searching "new products" etc. brings up everything products and I can't find anything like this.

You can see an example of what I mean here:

http://www.omimports.com/Mortar_Pestle_s/199.htm

when you scroll down the page, you see "New Arrival" in red.

Thanks so much!

Re: Drawing attention to New Products?

Ok, thank you, it seems to work great, but how do I merge the product_listing.php file of this mod with the product_listing.php file of the column layout grid mod?

It says you have to merge them...?????

It works like it is, but I still want my columns instead of rows.

Thank you for the link!

Re: Drawing attention to New Products?

you don't have to merge them - the only addition to the file is below highlighted in red, just add it to the layout grid mod

$lc_text = product_icons($listing->fields['products_id']) .'<h3 class="itemTitle">

Re: Drawing attention to New Products?

Sweet! Got it...........

One more question please....I looked at the site in both IE and Mozilla, look at this page here:

http://earthscauldron.com/store/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=32_220_313

Three of the New Products! look like they are bold and the fourth one doesn't ??!!!???

Any clue on that one? This page too:

http://earthscauldron.com/store/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=40_416_419

looks like it bolds the first three and not the rest :blink:

Again, thanks so much for your help!
