Date added will not show (or turn on to display)

Hey gang,

Quick question.
I trying to get the 'Date added' field to turn on under 'New Products'
When I select its location under the admin/configuation/new products, it doesn't display (neither does manufacturer, but that's not needed for me).
All the other fields are displaying and formatting just fine on my template (and I looked at the original template also to confirm I didn't delete something)

Is these some other place that it must be turned on globally first too?
I believe all my overrides are correct, but I'll confirm again.

thanks,

What setting are you using for the:

Display Product Date Added
Do you want to display the Product Date Added?

0= off
1st digit Left or Right
2nd and 3rd digit Sort Order
4th digit number of breaks after

NOTE: default is 2601

These are my settings under New Products
(both manufacturer and date added are not displaying)

Display Product Image 1101
Display Product Quantity 0 Info
Display Product Buy Now Button 2601 Info
Display Product Name 2101 Info
Display Product Model 1051 Info
Display Product Manufacturer Name 2301 Info
Display Product Price 2201 Info
Display Product Weight 0 Info
Display Product Date Added 2501 Info
Display Product Description 1 Info
Display Product Display - Default Sort Order 6 Info
Default Products New Group ID 21 Info
Display Multiple Products Qty Box Status and Set Button Location 3 Info
Mask Upcoming Products from being include as New Products 0 Info

any additional ideas?

I've played around all day with this and still no luck with 'date added' and 'manufacturer'

thanks,

That is kinda weird ...

What happens if you switch to Classic Template, does it work?

Have you an URL that we can peek at perhaps? :smile:

It does the exact same thing in the Classic template.
I'm going to keep comparing files, but do you know all the exact file names of the those associated with the new products page so I can check further?
I want to make sure that my overrides are correct

Here's the URL:

thanks Linda,

Out of curiosity ... your Featured Products are not show this either ... is it turned OFF in there?

If so, can you turn it on just to see if it displays?

Date added and Manufacturer both will not display in the Featured Products page also (!) Hmm. I'm really at a loss here. This really has me stumped.

They ARE also turned on for display in the All Products listing

Here's the Featured Listing settings:

Title Value Action
Display Product Image 1101 Info
Display Product Quantity 1201 Info
Display Product Buy Now Button 2501 Info
Display Product Name 2101 Info
Display Product Model 2201 Info
Display Product Manufacturer Name 2301 Info
Display Product Price 2401 Info
Display Product Weight 0 Info
Display Product Date Added 2601
Display Product Description 1 Info
Display Product Display - Default Sort Order 1 Info
Default Featured Products Group ID 22 Info
Display Multiple Products Qty Box Status and Set Button Location 3 Info

Here's the All Listing settings:

Title Value Action
Display Product Image 1102
Display Product Quantity 1202 Info
Display Product Buy Now Button 1300 Info
Display Product Name 2101 Info
Display Product Model 2201 Info

Could you peek in your database at the products table and see what is in the products_date_added field?

Are you importing your products or adding them manually?

For fun ... what happens if you try to get the Date added to appear on the Product _info page via the Catalog ... Product Types ... EDIT LAYOUT ...

products_date_added
for products added this morning is

2007-10-12 00:00:00

I have a structured import to add thousands of products at a time from exporting from Filemaker to csv files.
also, products_last_modified and products_date_available are all the same as above

(checking on the other solution you mentioned now)

Ajeh:

For fun ... what happens if you try to get the Date added to appear on the Product _info page via the Catalog ... Product Types ... ...

BINGO!!! That's the place I couldn't locate within the realms of Zen.
I haven't been to that page since Sept 2006. That's why I never even went there.

Time to buy some coffee......
