Recent Arrivals

Using the [book_listing] shortcode you can easily create a list of your most recent offerings to show fresh material to your regular customers. Two different methods are available.

• Dynamic Selection

You can have the books for your list chosen automatically according to search parameters you specify.

The key parameter for this is sort_by="added" and sort_order="desc". This causes your page to show all your listings with the most recently added items at the top. The page size parameter will limit the results to the number of books. Other book_listing parameters can also be applied. So if, for example, you wanted a recent arrivals list that showedr only your 30 most recent items that are priced above 100 and printed before 1900 then the shortcode you would put on your page would look like this:

[book_listing sort_by="added" sort_order="desc" price_min="100" year_max="1899" page_size="30"]

If you wanted, you could use the tag or keyword parameters to create separate lists for different specialties, or use the year_min and year_max parameters to create separate lists for early and modern books.

Dynamic lists will update themselves automatically as items as added and sold. You can just set your parameters and then forget about it.

• Chosen Selection

Using the sku_id parameter you can select only the specific new items you want to include in your list and put them into whatever order you want. This method enables you to put out a series of separate and distinct lists, which you can number or otherwise identify individually. This is valuable if you want to send out announcements to your mailing list every time you have a new list of things to offer.
