new products showing on mainpage, not random?

[spuhg]

hi

the new products which show on the main page are all products which were loaded right after the other.

can what shows up be made more random?

thanks

Have a search throught the board and you will find exactly what you are looking for ... EJ has written a module for you ... 2 minute install.

If you want a bit more extensive edit to control which products are displayed use the New Products Module which is stickyed in the osCMax 2 forum.

Or if you have alot of new products and want them shown random fine in Newproducts.php simple solution

if (($no_of_new_products = tep_db_num_rows($new_products_query)) > 0) {
while ($_new_products = tep_db_fetch_array($new_products_query)) {
$new_products[] = $_new_products;
$list_of_prdct_ids[] = $_new_products['products_id'];
}
add below
shuffle($new_products);

There is a section in the Wiki.

There is also a thread on this board explaining how to make them random or so you can select them in the admin section.
