Hi there,
I recently installed a template using the quickstart install method and found that products displayed on the homepage have to be assigned to the “New” category before they are listed in the results.
JM Products is configured as “Latest” and selected categories is set to “All”. I’ve added an additional product to those products setup via the quickstart install and it’s not displaying unless added its to the “New” category. And when I change the JM Products selected categories to an individual category it does not seem to limit the results to the selected category.
Can you tell me what I’m doing wrong? Or am I missing something in CMS Pages/Static blocks that is controlling the list of products being displayed on the homepage.
Thanks in advance

Hi Richard,
When you want to change mode of product with :New/Latest/Feeture … you can change on back end of Product list, besides if you add JM product list on static block, you should update the parameters as suggestion on the document http://www.ubertheme.com/docs/product-list/.
Please let me know if it works on your site

Hi Lara.
I’ve been doing some more testing and i cant find the static block in question. Looking at the homepage Magento CMS/Page i can see the following block of code:
<reference name=”content”>
<block type=”joomlart_jmproducts/list” name=”home.jmproducts.list” template=”joomlart/jmproducts/list.phtml”>
<block type=”catalog/product_list_toolbar” name=”product_list_toolbar” template=”catalog/product/list/toolbar.phtml”>
<block type=”page/html_pager” name=”product_list_toolbar_pager”/>
</block>
<action method=”setToolbarBlockName”><name>product_list_toolbar</name></action>
</block>
</reference>
Then i change the first line of code to:
<block type=”joomlart_jmproducts/list” name=”home.jmproducts.list” template=”joomlart/jmproducts/list.phtml” mode=”top_rated” quanlity=”1″ perrow=”1″>
But there is no change. Am i looking at the right thing? Still confused as the the New/Latest feature. It is not documented anywhere that New/Latest relies on the use of the “category named New”.
Thanks again
Hi Richard,
Please PM me your site’s url, admin and ftp credentials, I’ll detect the root of issue for troubleshooting.
Maybe i will help you upgrade to new JM Product version.
Best regards,

Hello
I have the same problem?
I can’t add any new categories shown in the JM Category List besides those 5 that already were in the quickstart.
