I’ve tried asking this over on Magento’s forums, but it’s slow and the answer I got isn’t really working.

On my store front’s home page, I want to display the 5 most recent products added to the store – regardless of what category they belong to.

The only helpful bit of info I got is to create a new file called new_p.phtml that looks like this:

<?php  
$_products = Mage::getResourceModel('catalog/product_collection')
            ->addAttributeToSelect('name');
   Mage::getModel('catalog/layer')->prepareProductCollection($_products);
            $_products->getSelect()->order('entity_id desc');         
?>
<h2 class="subtitle"><?php echo $this->__('New Products') ?></h2>
    <?php $i=0; foreach ($_products->getItems() as $_product): ?>
        <ol class="products-grid" id="products-grid">
        <?php if ($i>4): continue; endif; ?>    
            <li class="item">
                <a href="<?php echo $_product->getProductUrl() ?>" title="<?php echo $this->htmlEscape($_product->getName()) ?>" class="product-image"><img src="<?php echo $this->helper('catalog/image')->init($_product, 'small_image')->resize(135) ?>" width="135" height="135" alt="<?php echo $this->htmlEscape($_product->getName()) ?>" /></a>
                <h3 class="product-name"><a href="<?php echo $_product->getProductUrl() ?>" title="<?php echo $this->htmlEscape($_product->getName()) ?>"><?php echo $this->htmlEscape($_product->getName()) ?></a></h3>
                <div class="actions" style="border: solid 3px #0F0">
                    <?php if($_product->isSaleable()): ?>
                        <button type="button" title="<?php echo $this->__('Add to Cart') ?>" class="button btn-cart" onclick="setLocation('<?php echo $this->getAddToCartUrl($_product) ?>')"><span><span><?php echo $this->__('Add to Cart') ?></span></span></button>
                    <?php endif; ?>
                </div>
            </li>
        <?php $i++; endforeach; ?>       
</ul>

and put it in here:

What does everyone here use for full server backup? Looking into R1Soft with a server then rsyncing it with another server offsite. What do you guys use?

r1soft here. the setup is gay. but after that, its nice.

So I am thinking about a web-site I may try to work on. But I am completely ignorant when it comes to these things. So I have a few questions that I was hoping someone would spare the time to answer.

So I am under the impression that you can untilize an internet web-building site that may or may not charge. And their site has features that will help you to create the site. Is this a correct assumption? If so,

If your website has a the ability to say allowing the user to create accounts with passwords and such, or where they leave thier name and address for mailing purposes or applying credit cards, debit cards, etc, where does this information get saved? Who provides the database, me or the web building company?

Hi All,

I have a question concerning the posting of links.
I would need some people testing our website on its functional behavior connecting to facebook.
Is it possible to tell people the link of the website (since it is a free service, not even a payable upsell , I do not consider it as ‘commercial spamming’ but I would like to make sure before flaming and banning occurs

Thanks

I’m thinking about hiring someone to redesign my wordpress site. I like my logo, but it could use a bit of updating too. The only problem is that I suck at design, so I barely even know what I want. I know the types of things that i don’t like though. Any ideas of good people/companies to go through? I know there are some designers on here. I’m thinking budgeting $1000-$2000 would be good enough to get a decent design?

Ive posted about it before a long time ago, but I keep personal shit off of OT now I can pm you info if you want. I remember seeing some of your logo work and being impressed by it

So we have multiple sites under our company, each about a totally different topic. Eg 1 is our industry news blog, 1 is a technology blog (we work with lots of new technologies, so write about it), and there are a few regional sites for offices around the world.

They’re 100% independent sites with different readerships etc, but we want them all tied together as our company as far as SEO etc go.

We also interlink the sites a fair bit when one needs to refer to another’s article.

Hello all,

I recently thought of a great idea (in my opinion) and I’m looking to start getting into app creation (just this one project). If I can’t do it in a specific time frame, I’ll most likely hire someone but for the moment, I would like to look into the programming.

Any published books out there on app creation or a good resource for app making besides the apple website/forum?
Thanks guys!
"Apps" is quite a broad topic, you need to be more specific.
