Magento New Products Block

I would like some help on how to a block or the right sidebar displaying the new products a开发者_C百科dded to the store.

To add new products to a CMS page (Home, Contact, etc) use the block code

{{block type="catalog/product_new" name="home.catalog.product.new" alias="product_homepage" template="catalog/product/new.phtml"}}

From http://www.magentocommerce.com/wiki/groups/248/display_products_on_home_page

For sidebar please refer

http://www.magentocommerce.com/boards/viewthread/10331/

You'll have to set the reference pointer to be Right or Left

Create widget for the sidebar with new product block and set the template where to show that widget.

1. Go to CMS->Widgets section from admin menu.
2. Than select type as CMS Static Block and theme, set Widget Instance Title and order and click Add Layout Update button.
3. Select All Pages from Display On section and than select Block Reference as Right Column.
4. Now select Block from Widget Options menu and save.
5. Refresh cache and now the New Product Block visible on right sidebar.

Hope this will help you.
