Can new products have their own category?

I'm sure this is possible, but wanted to ask an expert before I start rooting around in the dark!

Does anyone know how to have the 'new products' appear as a category, rather than always as an add-on to a category or wherever else they crop up? It should be quite easy as they have their own module, but I wouldn't know how to call that module to achieve the right effect.

many thanks.

By default in the categories sidebox there is allready a link to New Products ...

If this does not do what you want elaborate on what it is you are seeking

Thanks for the reply. I had forgotten there was a new products sidebox, but it made me realise, all I actually need is a link to index.php?main_page=products_new, or as I have SEO URLs, to shop/products_new.html. The page already exists, I just didn't know the path to it until I saw it on somebody else's site. :oops:

Still over complicating. Found the switch in admin under layout settings > Categories Box - Show Products New Link.
Thanks again.

This is by default aet to on??? Might you have toggled it to off?

I switched a lot of stuff off, so that's what must have happened. The flexibility's great. It just takes a bit of time to figure out where everything is.
