How can I set the status of a product to NEW and over rule the preference of days set in the options?

 

I want my client to be able to display the New tag by selecting an option within the product itself.

 

Anyone have any ideas?

 

Thanks

I've taken Eck!'s plugin "Order Options" and modified it for setting specific products as new.

 

So, here's how:

 

1. Copy the attached file into your admin/tabs folder

2. Go to Administration => Menus => Add New

3. Enter "Set as New" as the name (or whatever..)

4. Enter "AdminSetNew" as the class

5. Select "Catalog" as the parent

6. Click Save

7. Go to Catalog/Set as New

8. Enter the reference number of a product you want to set as new

9. Click "Set Product as New"

 

 

Tested on 1.5.2

 

AdminSetNew.php

hi idofri.

 

thanks, this is exactly what i was looking for BUT where is the "Tools" menu option that you refer to with "Tools/Tabs/Add New"?

 

i can't seem to find it in my admin cp.

 

i also don't know what the "Order Options" plugin is. do i need to add that in order to see the "Tools" menu option in BO? if so, where can i get the Order Options plugin?

 

thanks,

jez...

Hi,

 

The correct path is: Administration => Menus > Add New

 

"Order Options" was the original feature before I modified it, and if you'll follow my instructions you'll get a new menu-button called "Set Product as New" under the Catalog menu.

 

Cheers.

Hi itemspet,

you want to display the product in the shop to be set a new or its condition?if you want to display .. find the belowings

you can try this, if you want to display the condition of the product in short description or more info or any other place in page you wantgo to theme directory and select product.tpl file and include this {$product->condition}. before that the condition of each product should be set. This may help you

aaaaaarrggghhhhh!!!

 

the ones i mark as new DO appear on the new products page (if you click on "All New Products" link below the thumbs) but the DO NOT appear as thumbs in the new product block on the fotter of all of my shop pages.

Great feature, Wondering how this can be implemented in PS1.6.  

Tried on PS1.6.0.9 and shows" Invalid security token" after I click on "set as new".  After that, seems works fine for now.

 

PS: if the product reference is entered wrongly, you get error. That's the only small issue it has.

Thanks for a great fix :)

 

Is it possible to use ID instead of Reference?

 

Also, it lookes like it is working with reference, and the product is set as new, but not the most recent. Does that make sense?

In my New products page, it is on page 2... (sorry there was a delay, it is working now :))

 

 

Using prestashop 1.5.6.2 :)

Hello,
I use Prestashop 1.6.1.1 (default theme).
I do not speak English, sorry.
The installation was successful and now have the menu "Set as New".
When I insert the ID of the product and save(new or old), it's ok, it does not give me error.
But then, in the front office, does not happen no change (i've cleared cache/force compile).

Is there any setting that can lock the operation?

is there some incompatibility with "virtual products" (without "warehouse")?

Is there any other setting to do?

Hey guys... I've just tested the last version on prestashop 1.6.1.5 and despite the 2 errors bellow, it was working:

Notice on line 72 in file /home/mashenka/public_html/adminshop/tabs/AdminSetNew.php
[8] Undefined index: id_num


Notice on line 80 in file /home/mashenka/public_html/adminshop/tabs/AdminSetNew.php
[8] Undefined index: valid
 
So to get rig of the errors I've added 2 variable declarations to test for the $_POST.
I've attached the updated php file.
Let me know if it works for others as well.
 
P.S. this should be a standard setting for each product by default! Many shop owners disable specific products temporarily and when they enable them again they want their customers to see them as new products. So this is a must have feature IMHO.

I get the following notices after installing the module. It appears to work correctly even with the notices.

Do not worry about the notices. You see them because you have debug mode on. I will fix them anyway when I have some time, but they do not affect the operation of the module.

We made a module that allows to get more control on the new status : https://addons.prestashop.com/en/administrative-tools/26430-new-products-management-mark-products-as-novelties.html

 

This module adds a product tab that allows to set the date until which products has to be considered as "new".

The module configuration permits to choose if the PrestaShop native behavior has to kept (products will be considered as new if they had been added less than X days ago OR if a date has been set whithin the module) or not (for example if you don't want some products like minor accessories to be displayed as new).

Hi Hstom,

Yes we will.
Actually the main code was working but :

  • We get some issues with dnd JS plugin that allows to order new products
  • We also would like to be able to send errors in BO product tab when we need to (and we still struggle with that...)

We can't recommand to install it on PS 1.7 until we solve this.
