Certainly a good suggestion for the future. Right now ProductCart only saves the date a product was added on ("pcprod_EnteredOn" in the "products" table). There could be another field that would store the date that the product has been modified on (which at the beginning would have the same date as "pcprod_EnteredOn"), and a way to tell the "Show New Arrivals" feature to use that date instead of the "pcprod_EnteredOn" date.

This is also something that an ASP developer could do quite easily (more involved for us as we need to update all of the add-on's that use the same files).

Thanks for the suggestions - I've listed them as featured products also (sometimes) but I like the automatic feature of "New Arrivals".

In my business - making parts for Antique Indian Motorcycles, People don't come to the online store until they need a part, so I like to show all new arrivals for the past 365 days. This lets customers now we are making new stuff for their bikes, and not just keeping existing items in stock...

I can try the cloning feature,  just looking for an easy way to modify the entry date.

If it could be added in a future release... <> Just a check mark - reset product arrival date(or whatever ei would call it.

How about cloning it, then de-activating the original product. In my experience the only thing that isn't cloned are "additional" photos.]]> Fri, 31 Oct 2008 17:06:14 +0000 https://forum.productcart.com/new-arrivals-order_topic1716_post7183.html#7183 https://forum.productcart.com/new-arrivals-order_topic1716_post7182.html#7182 Author: Hamish

Hi Gary, Set them as "Featured Products" instead of "New Arrivals".]]> Fri, 31 Oct 2008 17:04:55 +0000 https://forum.productcart.com/new-arrivals-order_topic1716_post7182.html#7182 https://forum.productcart.com/new-arrivals-order_topic1716_post7181.html#7181 Author: mrindian

Question: Is their anyway of taking an existing item and making it a new item?

My problem: I've had products for years, but I have fully updated the product - so it's a basically a new product - but it still has the same part number since it's updated.

Therefore - any way of making it a new product without deleting it from the product cart database and re-entering it as a new product?

Or do I have to goto the actual sql database and update the field?

Thanks,
Gary Stark

BTW Hamish, your suggestion above worked perfectly for us. ]]> Thu, 19 Jun 2008 12:34:51 +0000 https://forum.productcart.com/new-arrivals-order_topic1716_post5610.html#5610 https://forum.productcart.com/new-arrivals-order_topic1716_post5550.html#5550 Author: rotokirby

Edited because I posted before seeing Massimo's reply. :)

Massimo, thank you again for being so active here on the forums and listening to user input.

If there is a way to just get the time entered involved in the equation we'd be set.

Nice avatars you two!

This is an area of the application where we agree that the store manager should have more control. Some products might not need to be listed among the new arrivals, some might need to be listed even if they are not strictly the newest.

I don't know whether we will have time to enhance this area of the application for the upcoming v3.5 release (July release). We'll keep you posted.
