This tutorial will show you how to display new products on the home page in Magento using the Magento block.
- Open Magento admin panel
- Go to CMS>Pages>Home page
- Switch to the content tab
- Insert the following code:
{{block type="catalog/product_new" column_count="6" products_count="12" name="home.catalog.product.new" alias="product_homepage" template="catalog/product/list.phtml"}}
Where:
- column_count="6" – number of the product columns
- products_count="12" – number of the displayed products
We recommend clear and disable the Magento cache when editing the static pages.
