product icon NEW 9 years 10 months ago #9911

Stanislav Juhás	Hi, I would like to ask you, When I create and add new product to some category, e.g. to D/A converters icon NEW appears not only on new but at all old products. That same happens for each category. Best regards Stanislav Juhas Attachments: flag-new-product.jpg (217KB)

Hi,

If the product is added within 15 days (15days by default), the NEW badge will show up. You can change this 15 days through "Flexible VM2 Template" plugin. Open the plugin, and look for the "Time frame for NEW icon" parameter.

And you keep seeing the NEW icons even though your products are added more than 1 week ago. Is that correct?

It might be because of the "wrong" today's date or the wrong "created_on" date. Because we are comparing the product creation date with the today's date. If the difference is longer than the TIME FRAME. the NEW icon should have been gone.

The "today's date" is taken from your server with the official PHP function

$today = strtotime(date("Y-m-d G:i:s")); //todays date

more info: php.net/manual/en/function.date.php

There are 2 possible problems that may lead this wrong calculation:
1- Your server gives wrong today's date (which is non-sense, servers won't do it)
2- Your Virtuemart doesn't store the "created date" properly. (especially if you migrate/import your product from somewhere else, this will lead this problem)

The 2nd option is more possible. But we need to make sure, who is at fault.

the "creation date" for each product can only be seen from the PHPMyAdmin. Open the PHPMyAdmin of your hosting and find this table:

#__virtuemart_products

Click the "BROWSE" button and see the screenshot:

(every row in this table represents 1 product)
