Removing New Products from ALL pages

Hallooooooo there!

I've disabled New Products for the main page (Admin --> Configuration --> Index Listing --> Show new products on main page --> set to 0) and it worked as was anticipated...

However... I don't want New Products displayed on ANY page & I just cannot seem to figure out how to disabled it for ALL pages... :frusty: Please can someone tell me how to do this? Please, please, please...
(I will be forever greatful)

Re: Removing New Products from ALL pages

you don't want NEW products displayed when someone looks at the ALL products listing?

Do you want them listed at all?.... I suppose you could turn them 'off' in admin/catalog-products /status... but is that what your really want....

Re: Removing New Products from ALL pages

I don't want it to display the new products box-thingy on any pages by default. If someone clicks on "New Products" / "All Products" link under category listings, fair enough, it must display them... but not at the bottom of every page!

(are u following? Even I'm lost... I'm not that good at putting thoughts into words...)

Does this work: Admin --> Configuration --> Maximum Values -> New Products Module = 0

Re: Removing New Products from ALL pages

(thank you, thank you)

It changes it so that it doesn't display products (which is very good... :thumbsup: ) but it still shows the header bar that says: "New Products for July" :no:
Any thoughts on how to change that?

Back to the Admin->Configuration->Index Listing:

->Show New Products on Main Page - Category with SubCategories
->Show New Products - below Product Listing
->Show New Products on Main Page - Errors and Missing Products Page
... etc

Re: Removing New Products from ALL pages

I don't mean to denigrate you for your ideas but I wonder why someone would want to take away ANY impulse buyers from your shop.

It's a know fact that most people buy something OTHER THAN what they went in to get. A grocery manager would be fired if they ever put the bread, milk, and eggs on the same isle.

Reminds me of the story about the shop owner who never advertised, finally had to sell the business, and advertised in all the papers.

With proper use of ZenCart's meta tags, your customer will not be presented with a bombardment of advertising nor, unlike the carts, will they be sent to some distant page different from that they were searching for. But just imagine not having the "Look Henry, they've got what I wanted for your mother over here on this page."

Sure, we don't want to go overboard but, if they don't know it's there, how can we expect to sell it.
