how to remove newest products

I've sometimes seen problems when code is commented out with . It seems that .NET can sometimes still see the control tags within this, as those are HTML comments.

A safer way is to hide .NET user controls by setting them to invisible:

Visible="false"

You can remove or comment out the static HTML around them.

This way is generally better because there may be codebehind in the page containing the control that refers to the control, so removing the control or commenting it out may cause problems there.

I thought that it would be the same process as removing the news section. So I tried to change the config settings of .... frontend.display.newestproducts I change the default setting of '5' to '0' and expected the section to dissaoear but it was still there. When I did this for similar sections like the news it worked a treat, but not for the newest products. Any ideas anyone? Steve

I note if you set the featured product to '0' it removed it from the homepage. As you are editing the template it may be better if you comment out what you want to lose. using <!-- at the start of the tag and --> at the end of the tag that way you can go back if you change your mind. Regards Leon
