Hi there,
A major confusion while working with Magento was representing more than 5 latest products in latest collection page. And in my case client need only latest collection page. In fact he wants to show all his products in latest collection page.
Latest collection page compares Product new From date and to date values and shows the products. By default the page will show only 5 products. So how to overcome this problem!! Hope you know how to setup a latest collection page. A small addition on that code can override the default settings of Magento.
{{block type=”catalog/product_new” name=”home.catalog.product.new” template=”catalog/product/new.phtml”}}
As you know we use this block code to create latest collection page. By default it shows only five products, but we want to show ten
{{block type=”catalog/product_new” name=”home.catalog.product.new” template=”catalog/product/new.phtml” _productsCount=”10″}}
This is how we can show 10 products on the latest collection page. Only addtion to code is ‘_productsCount=”10″ ‘. So how can we show unlimited number of products on same page, simple ‘_productsCount=”0″ ‘. See the easiness and scalability of Magento. Enjoy!
