Re: "New Products" On Subcategory Pages

Hmmm, no replies. Okay then...if I absolutely must have new products on the subcategory pages (i.e. http://scentsandsilver.com/products/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=1_18), is there any way to randomize them so that it draws from all categories, not just the one specific to that category?

Re: "New Products" On Subcategory Pages

Have you examined the options in Admin - Configuration - Index Listing?

Re: "New Products" On Subcategory Pages

Stevesh:

Thank you! That got rid of them on the subcategory pages. So many of the switches don't say what they actually do...hopefully in future revisions, someone will add some explanations to them. :smile:

Now...they're randomized on the index page...how do I randomize them on the category pages so that they show items from every category, not just the one listed above? (http://scentsandsilver.com/products/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=1)

Then I just have to figure out this challenge... https://www.zen-cart.com/showthread.php?53712-Lavender-Template-Support-Thread&p=1280774#post1280774 ...and hopefully that will be it.

Re: "New Products" On Subcategory Pages

Admin - Configuration - Index Listing - Filter Product Listing for Current Top Level Category When Enabled (?)

You don't want the subcategory image to display on the product listing page? Try Admin - Configuration - Product Listing - Include Product Listing Sub Categories Image

Re: "New Products" On Subcategory Pages

I'm not sure what the first change was supposed to do...but the second one worked up to a point. The pics are gone from the subcategory pages. (http://scentsandsilver.com/products/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=1_18) Now is there a way to get them gone from the actual product pages, too? (http://scentsandsilver.com/products/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=1_18&products_id=1)

Re: "New Products" On Subcategory Pages

The first option will change the New Products centerbox listings from just the current category to all categories, which is how I read your question.

The other - Admin - Configuration - Product Info - Previous Next - Navigation Includes Category Name and Image Status
