New Products Display For Set Time

Whenever I add a NEW item I want that item to be displayed in the "new products" section for 7 days. After that it disappears from that section.

Is that possible and how would I do it if it is possible?

Thanks in advance!!

Hi,

I think that when you're creating your product, you should just use the "Product available from/until" options.

Hope this will help you.

Ok let me rephrase this.

I created a Badge called "NEW". I then created a category called "New Products". When I add a new product I want it to show the "New" badge icon, which it does now.

Where I'm confused is when I set the "New" badge to expire in 7 days does this means that if I add a new product on the 5th day it will only display as NEW for only 2 days?

So my question is, how do I get "NEW" products to ALWAYS display the "NEW" badge icon for 7 days.

Hope this is clearer in what I'm trying to achieve.

Thanks!!

Hi,

The problem is that badges can be applied just to product's categories and not to products alone. So My solutions would be to :

1. Create a sub-category for each product
2. Create a new badge for each new product then this product will be displaid for 7 days

Hope this will help you.

Hi,

What you can do is edit the view "product / listing_img_title" and add a condition around the line: "$this->classbadge->placeBadges($this->image, $this->row->badges, -10, 0);"

Like:

if(($this->row->product_sale_start == 0 && $this->row->product_created >= time()-604800) || $this->row->product_sale_start >= time()-604800){
	$this->classbadge->placeBadges($this->image, $this->row->badges, -10, 0);
}

How will the badge be applied when I add a product? How do I add it to a specific product? Sorry I'm not clear about this part.

Thanks!!

The badge will be applied on all the new products (less than 7 days). To add it to a specific product, you have to create a category apply a badge on it and add this category to your product.
Or you can create a custom field in the table product, and add a check for the badge display, like:

if((($this->row->product_sale_start == 0 && $this->row->product_created >= time()-604800) || $this->row->product_sale_start >= time()-604800) || $this->row->yourfield == 'show_badge'){
	$this->classbadge->placeBadges($this->image, $this->row->badges, -10, 0);
}
