New Products List

[WGretro]

Is there away to increase the amount of new products list to over 20 items?

Thanks

No there isn't. But nothing to stop you creating your own new products section and duplicating the products into there yourself.

Yeah that's what used to be done on the site. But then no one removed the new item duplicates, or started creating the items in the new products section making it messy.

Thanks anyway!

Yes there is, although it's not straight forward.

You can add as many entries as you like into the [NewProducts] table directly. e.g.

NewProducts

 
nID sProductRef nOrder bLocked 
24  54          20         No 
25  55          21         No     
26  56          22         No

you just need to make sure and adhere to the policies and rules of the table.

nID - must be manually incremented and be unique
sProdRef - the exact product reference
nOrder - an incremental value for managing the order
bLocked - if it is locked in position in the list or not.


These additional fields then become editable through the marketing interface but you CANNOT click the "generate now" button as the interface enforces the 20 limit!

Not wholly tested however it has been done, and the site uploaded, and the new products appear e.g. 21,22,23... etc show.
