(SOLVED)New Products Block not showing

[Optimus_Sam]

Hello everyone,

 

How is it going?

 

I have a problem. On the right side of my webshop i have the "new products" block. But after my upgrade to the newest Prestashop version it's not showing any items at all. Only when you click on the link it gives you the pictures and everything.

 

Does somebody have a fix for this?

 

Thanks in advance,

 

Sam

or this: 

 

open: modules/blocknewproducts/blocknewproducts.php

public function hookRightColumn($params)
{
if (!$this->isCached('blocknewproducts.tpl', $this->getCacheId()))
{
if (!Configuration::get('PS_BLOCK_NEWPRODUCTS_DISPLAY') && !($newProducts = Product::getNewProducts((int)$params['cookie']->id_lang, 0, (int)Configuration::get('NEW_PRODUCTS_NBR'))))
return;


$this->smarty->assign(array(
'new_products' => $newProducts,
'mediumSize' => Image::getSize(ImageType::getFormatedName('medium')),
));
}
return $this->display(__FILE__, 'blocknewproducts.tpl', $this->getCacheId());
}

and change it to:

 

public function hookRightColumn($params)
{


if (!Configuration::get('PS_BLOCK_NEWPRODUCTS_DISPLAY') && !($newProducts = Product::getNewProducts((int)$params['cookie']->id_lang, 0, (int)Configuration::get('NEW_PRODUCTS_NBR'))))

I am having the same problem, I tried the same fix mentioned here but it did not work.

Hello...same problem here. Tried all of the posted"fixes" and none work. Tried uninstalling/re-installing, setting days for new at higher number, tried the code replacement...all failed!

 

I am trying to present this site to a client and cannot do that with this bug...

 

Please help!

 

Thanks

I found a resolution when addressing a separate issue. I noticed that when I was trying to configure the New Products Module, one of the "Must Have" modules was also being configured - ???. So I sent out a post on how to remove the "Must Have" Modules. I received a reply and tried the fix. When I did that, my New Products module worked fine again!

 

Here is the post and fix...hope it helps:

I was able to fix this particular issue after trying your fix for a separate issue! Here it is:http://www.prestashop.com/forums/topic/277255-solved-remove-must-have-modules-from-list/?do=findComment&comment=1391836

it is really weird that this separate solution works for new products module

anyway, glad to hear that it works for you now

[Optimus_Sam]

OMG

You guys are not gonna believe this one. It's really weird but the only thing i did (after all the presented fixed you guys posted and didn't work for me) was change the "Always Show block" - even when there aren't any products to "NO".

 

And then it suddenly worked So i just wanted to post this so you guys can try this, what i call "The Ridiculous Fix"

 

Thanks for all the support guys.

Optimus_Sam,

 

You made my day, I tried the same thing just now and it worked

 

Thanks a ton.. Cheers

@sehgalanurag

 

You mean, you've tried the Ridiculous Fix?

 

I'm superhappy for you man! Spread the word!

[sehgalanurag]

This was 'the' only problem I was having with my store, I tried everything which somehow never worked, "Ridiculous Fix" worked like a charm.. as soon as I got the email notification, I tried it, refreshed the store's homepage page and BINGO. Genius you are, who would have thought it could work that way..

[Frank1957]

Hi, change the "Always Show block" - even when there aren't any products to "NO" fixed my problem also. I also cleared the smarty cache and Forced compilation.

 

Thank you

[somits1]

Hi,

 

 

I am running my website http://slmobileprice.com using Prestashop English v1.5.6.2. 

 

Actually i have a problem. On the right side of my website i have the "New Products" Block. All products is listing their. But there is one issue whenever i am uploading new product that is not showing in "New Products" Block on same day. That product will appear after one day.

 

Could any one tell me the reason? how to solve this problem.

 

Thanks,

Somit

I have face trouble, products are not showing in any category that have 5 (10000) digit product ID, however product Id 9999 is showing when descending by reference. I have 1.6.0.9 version. However when click on pagination link second page all product are displayed. Need help.

Hello just thought i would let everyone know that i fixed the problem by disabling the "new products block" module then resetting it. I couldn't figure out where to change the "Always show block"

 

I have no clue how to even get to that option. I am using prestashop 1.7.1.1. I Also did force compilation and clear cache before that but it didn't work by itself. Check out my website for 3D Printing Supplies & Cool Gadgets. http://www.infinity-gear.com

Thanks for sharing.  Where do I change "Always Show block"  settings in PrestaShop 1.7.4.2?  Apologies for the trivial question

Thanks a lot for sharing. You saved the day.    I followed your steps exactly as you stated by disabling then resetting thee module after which "New product block" showed up.  I also could not figure out from were to change the "Always show block".

Again, thanks.
