Limiting New Product by Category on Home Page

[yashman]

Hi,

 

I am using PS 1.6.0.11 with base theme with slight modifications in terms of Colors, Font and width.

 

Issue: Currently, the New Arrivals block shows all the items added in the Catalog which is fine but it will show the products in sequence based on the add date.

 

For example., If I add Item A, B, B1, C, D, E....S under Category Candy, system will show all from A to S in sequence and then will start showing another Category Items unless I shuffle the products and category while adding.

 

Help needed: I am looking for help where the New Arrivals shown on Home Page

 

1) Can be set to limit the number of Items to be shown per Category

2) Items shown per Category is displayed randomly and with-in the limit

 

I am not a PHP person so any help will be highly appreciated.

Under modules section -> Click on modules section.

Search  "BLOCKNEWPRODUCTS" in search text.

Click on Configure btn showing right side.

For the two listed questions, you need to do work in same module in configuration section.

Although you are not PHP person then you need to tie up with experience prestashop developer.
