[Solved] New Products block doesn't show any products

[touchdez]

I uploaded a new product over the weekend and it doesn't show in the sidebar. The number of days to show as new is set to 20. What am I doing wrong?

well, for the first, you should try:

 

1) clear cache in your prestashop store

2) turn on force compilation

3) go to preferences > products and try to increase the value of:

4) this is for debug purposes: in the blocknewsproducts.tpl file try to add {$new_products|var_dump} right before the:

<!-- MODULE Block new products -->

Hi, vekia!

 

The cache in the store is cleared, force compilation is turned on, changed 20 to 21, and made the change to the blocknewproducts.tpl file - nothing changed on the page.

 

I also changed the wording "Do not allow new products at this time" to "No new products at this time" and that doesn't show, either.

 

I just checked and no new products show on the page after clicking the "New Products" link.

 

3 hours later I have uninstalled and reinstalled the module, made the changes and changed the wording again, and it still doesn't show anything, except the change in wording.

 

I have again changed the wording to "???Do not allow new products at this time.", but I still do not see a change.

 

Another thing I see, is that I have a module blocknewproducts in my shop/modules folder and another one in my themes/ nice/modules folder. Is that how it should be?

i got this, what i did was increase the number of days a new product could be a new product to 10,000. It must be that i had not new products at all. Anyway here is the link.

I also meet that problem on my [spam-filter] website,

 

I try to fix like this, and it work for me.

 

added BlockNewProducts::$cache_new_products = $this->getNewProducts(); to hook function.

public function hookdisplayHomeTabContent($params)
	{
		if (!$this->isCached('blocknewproducts_home.tpl', $this->getCacheId('blocknewproducts-home')))
		{
			BlockNewProducts::$cache_new_products = $this->getNewProducts();
			$this->smarty->assign(array(
				'new_products' => BlockNewProducts::$cache_new_products,
				'mediumSize' => Image::getSize(ImageType::getFormatedName('medium')),
				'homeSize' => Image::getSize(ImageType::getFormatedName('home'))
			));
		}

		if (BlockNewProducts::$cache_new_products === false)
			return false;

		return $this->display(__FILE__, 'blocknewproducts_home.tpl', $this->getCacheId('blocknewproducts-home'));
	}

Hi

 

I try with above solution but it not shoe new product block on my displayHome.

 

This is my code

// 0035 Added to display new product to displayHome page.
	public function hookDisplayHome($params)
	{
		if (!$this->isCached('blocknewproducts_home.tpl', $this->getCacheId('blocknewproducts-home')))
		{
			BlockNewProducts::$cache_new_products = $this->getNewProducts();
			$this->smarty->assign(array(
				'new_products' => BlockNewProducts::$cache_new_products,
				'mediumSize' => Image::getSize(ImageType::getFormatedName('medium')),
				'homeSize' => Image::getSize(ImageType::getFormatedName('home'))
			));
		}
	
		if (BlockNewProducts::$cache_new_products === false)
		return false;
		
		return $this->display(__FILE__, 'blocknewproducts_home.tpl', $this->getCacheId('blocknewproducts-home'));
	}

I found solution later. Need to turn on "Always display this block" from admin/modules/new product block/configuration.

Ok, i realized i did not have force compilation on, and put cache off,  Now it works for New Products.  Now do i leave it set to force compilation? and cache to yes or no?
