How to create a block title?

Question

I created a block to home page, the code is: {{block type="catalog/product_new" column_count="6" products_count="12" name="home.catalog.product.new" alias="product_homepage" template="catalog/product/new.phtml"}}

but the block title not show in the home page,

just has a '<h3 class ="section-title padding-right"></h3>' tag.

And I found this code in the new.phtml template file:

<h3 class="section-title padding-right"><?php echo $this->getBlockName(); ?></h3>

why? how to display the block title?

Answer 1

Try it like this:

{{block type="catalog/product_new" column_count="6" products_count="12" name="home.catalog.product.new" alias="product_homepage" template="catalog/product/new.phtml" block_name="New Products"}}

This is not in the default magento theme, but maybe it works.
