Problem for missing product page

setting:
Configuration -> Define Page Status ->Missing Page Check-->On
Configuration ->Index Listing ->Show New Products on Main Page - Errors and Missing Products Page ->2
->Show Featured Products on Main Page - Errors and Missing Products Page -> 1

Problem:
On the product information page, set the url to point to a product that does not exist (id does not exist). First, page didn't been redirected to home page. Second, there are no new products or featured products been shown on the page.

I may misunderstand the configuration items. Any help would be appreciated.

The "missing page check" only checks for invalid main_page=xyz values (where xyz isn't a valid page in the site). It has nothing to do with merely supplying an invalid product id number.

An invalid product-id only displays the message you stated, after first issuing a 404-not-found header so search engines know to de-list the invalid product id from their database.

Does it means that the setting of "Show New Products on Main Page - Errors and Missing Products Page" is for home page only?

Does it means that the setting of "Show New Products on Main Page - Errors and Missing Products Page" is for home page only?Yes: "on Main Page" also means "on Home Page only".

I have just added two statements in tpl_product_info_noproduct.php to show info on screen. The result suggests that the "Show New Products on Main Page - Errors and Missing Products Page" would work with missing products page.

<?php
//// bof: missing
$show_display_category = $db->Execute(SQL_SHOW_PRODUCT_INFO_MISSING);

var_dump($show_display_category);

while (!$show_display_category->EOF) {
?>

......

<?php
  if ($show_display_category->fields['configuration_key'] == 'SHOW_PRODUCT_INFO_MISSING_NEW_PRODUCTS') {
 echo "show new products";
/**
 * display the new product center box
 */
    include(DIR_WS_MODULES . zen_get_module_directory(FILENAME_NEW_PRODUCTS));
  }
?>
