Displaying only the current category in New Products

I would like to know if it is possible to limit the New Products box when you are on a specific category page. For example in the record store I am working on if I go to the Blues category I would like the New Products box to show only new products from the Blues category.

Is this possible?

Thanks.

Re: Displaying only the current category in New Products

The Centerboxes are built based on where in the Category tree you are ...

Look at the file:
/includes/modules/new_products.php

to get a better idea of how that works ...

Re: Displaying only the current category in New Products

So, what you're saying is that Zen Cart is already doing this? Heh.

I am working on a store with 20,000+ items and I don't have a clue as to which albums belong to which category.

Thanks for the tip.

Re: Displaying only the current category in New Products

The Centerboxes are built on a two tier level basis ... as you navigate through your site you will see this better ...

On New Products you can also limit what the date range is for New Products in the Configuration ... Maximum Values ...

New Product Listing - Limited to ...
Limit the New Product Listing to

7= 7 Days
14= 14 Days
30= 30 Days
60= 60 Days
90= 90 Days
