How to remove the 'New Products Listing' altogether

As in the subject, i do not want the new products to be shown at all .... the reason is because the products are not new at all they are just randomly selected from the database (allbeit the latest added to the database) ... but they are not new products. So i want to turn this off, is this possible and how please? Many thanks.

Just to be clear, I am talking about the central box that states something like 'New Products for January' ....

Go to "Configuration", "Index Listing" and you can turn off those center boxes.

Re: How to remove the 'New Products Listing' altogether

Actually it only paritially works, if for example you add items to a shopping basket and then remove them so the basket is empty, you once again see the box 'New Products in January' .... any ideas how to get rid of it totally anyone?

You can adjust that under "configuration", then "stock".

Re: How to remove the 'New Products Listing' altogether

This mod is an absolute must, its an Admin Reference mod, and basically allows you to type in a search term to help find the correct config. In fact I typed in "new products" to help find the answer to your question:

Admin Reference Mod

Re: How to remove the 'New Products Listing' altogether

Hey thanks for the mod heads up, however when I run that mod for first time (every time) I get kicked out of the admin area and have to re-login .... then i can use the mod again, but still its a strange and frustrating thing to happen, any ideas why this would happen every first visit to this mods features ?

I've never had that happen in my 1.3.7 store.... or any of the versions I've used this mod on. Very odd. Then everything works as normal, or you can only use this mod one time at a time?

Admin Reference Mod
After install, where do I find it?? looks like a tool I need! Looking for email files sent with order as I would like to remove the part that says:
Thanks for shopping with us today!
The following are the details of your order.
on emails going to the store owner.

The reference tool is found under the extras menu.

However, you'd want to search for that under the "Tools", then "Developers Tool Kit", cause its in a language file, not an admin switch. That text anyway is found here:
/includes/languages/english/checkout_process.php

yes I located this file, but cannot find where to alter ONLY for the email to store owner and NOT for the email confirmation to client who made the order.. so I was looking for other files (but none came up with dev tool).

I'm not sure that this is possible, as I think the same email is sent to both? I haven't spent a lot of time with email issues, so I'm not positive.
