Hi,
I changed the query to this, and you can use the product decription
$new_products_query = tep_db_query("select p.products_id, pd.products_name, pd.products_description, p.products_image, p.products_price, p.products_tax_class_id, IF(s.status, s.specials_new_products_price, NULL) as specials_new_products_price, p.products_date_added, m.manufacturers_name from " . TABLE_PRODUCTS . " p left join " . TABLE_MANUFACTURERS . " m on p.manufacturers_id = m.manufacturers_id left join " . TABLE_PRODUCTS_DESCRIPTION . " pd on p.products_id = pd.products_id and pd.language_id = '" . $languages_id . "' left join " . TABLE_SPECIALS . " s on p.products_id = s.products_id left join " . TABLE_FEATURED . " f on p.products_id = f.products_id where p.products_status = '1' and f.status = '1' order by p.products_date_added DESC, pd.products_name desc limit " . MAX_DISPLAY_NEW_PRODUCTS);
if you are going to use the product description, this will save the the extra queries to the database to get the product description.
This is how I used my product description, truncated
osc_trunc_string(strip_tags($new_products['products_description']))
This is how I used my product name
$new_products['products_name']
