	Actually, you don't need to edit the code. This can be done via the "Manage New Arrivals" page directly (Marketing > Manage Special Pages > New Arrivals).

	That will always display as a list. I have used that from the editor but again, always as list - says right there. I need these in vertical display so where can I find the code to change that? Thanks!!

	OH wait I don't want to manage the New Arrivals Page but the way New Arrivals show on the Home Page - sorry for the confusion! :)

	Hi, It's an option on the page that EarlyImp indicated. No code changes required :-)

	There seems to be some confusion here. I think what you are looking for is to display on the HOME PAGE New Arrivals in the vertical display layout in the same way as you CAN set the New Arrivals page to display products -- similarly to how you DO have control like this over how FEATURED products are displayed on the home page. There is no easy way to do this as the subroutine called for New Arrivals, Specials and Best Sellers only displays these items in small lists running vertically. You can only control which lists to display, how many items in the list for each, and in what order the lists are displayed (and they are not true "lists", but tables). There two possible options: 1) The way Featured items are handled could be adapted to display other record sets such as New Arrivals, Specials and/or Best Sellers. This would take some experience to do and is beyond what could be handled very simply on the forum, IMHO. 2) Another option, though not exactly the same display, would be to use our Home Page Sliders & Carousels add-on. Any of the Featured, Specials, New Arrivals and/or Best sellers can be displayed as either sliders (the "vertical layout", but one item at a time in the slider) or as carousels (the "horizontal" layout with X number of products carouselled at a time). I suppose a 3rd option could be to AJAX in the New Arrivals page without the header & footer, and while there definitely could be some merit to that, it's way beyond the scope of things handled on the forum. EDIT: here are some visual examples: Stock PC home page: http://pc47a-otb-net.3060.wmsmerchantservices.com/store/pc/home.asp WMS Sliders & Carousels: http://pc47a-wms-net.3060.wmsmerchantservices.com/store/pc/home.asp (I used Specials rather than New Arrivals as we just don't add that many interesting demo examples other than to test data) Edited by Sean@WMS - 08-February-2014 at 12:33am

	Hi, Sean is of course right about the control of the look. I'm a bit confused though when you say you want the list of New Arrivals to be vertical as that is what is is by default - A list in a vertical table. Have you got a URL you can share? The code that creates this part of the page is in HomeCode.asp

	The reason I want this is that I want the larger thumb and a short description / excerpt to show under the title. Our client would rather show 2 items with some information than a list of several.

	Hi @dbungard, So it sounds like you are indeed wanting the same sort of display with New Arrivals as the home page currently affords for Featured items only. Is this correct? I think the ambiguity here is what's causing confusion on this thread. While the "list" is vertically oriented, as Hamish is saying, I think what you mean is the "vertical" display option in the control panel. If that's the case, then, as I was saying, you can either adapt the code for displaying Featured products (the query for them is in home.asp; the display is handled via the subroutine in homecode.asp), or you might find our home page sliders & carousels an elegant solution.

	Hi All, Once I got into HomeCode it was pretty easy. All you do is add this: <% ' Show New Arrival description, if any if pDescription <> "" then %> <div class="pcShowProductSDesc"><%=pDescription%></div> <% end if %> to the HomeCode page under where it displays the sku. This way I could adjust display as I wish with CSS and not worry about the technical output settings or write a new query. Because the tool tip is already there all the info has been loaded on the page - it was just a display issue. :) Hope this helps someone else!!
