Display "NEW" label for new products

Hi,

In the list of products I would like to see a label "NEW" for each new product.
What would be the best way to achieve this? AFAIK there is no date created field I can use in the ProductModel.
I want to change the nopCommerce code as little as possible because I want to be able to update when necessary.

Thanks in advance.


Kind regards,

Rob.

We have done this on www.timetowatch.nl like this:
1. Add a Literal to the product template (.ascx) and call it litSpotlight.
2. Add the below code to the BindProductInfo method.

            if (ProductService.GetRecentlyAddedProducts(30).Contains(product))
            {
                litSpotlight.Text = "<div class=\"spotlight-new\"></div>";
            }
            else if (product.ProductVariants[0].OldPrice > product.ProductVariants[0].Price)
            {
                litSpotlight.Text = "<div class=\"spotlight-sale\"></div>";
            }
            else
            {
                litSpotlight.Text = string.Empty;
            }


This will get the last 30 added products and see if the current product is one of them.
If it is recently added, the it will add a DIV with class 'spotlight-new' to the HTML.
If it is not recently added, but is on sale, it will add a DIV 'spotlight-sale' to the HTML.

BTW: this is done in nop 1.90.

It's up to you how the DIV looks like. Just add the right classes to the CSS file.
