I would like some help on how to a block or the right sidebar displaying the new products added to the store.
To add new products to a CMS page (Home, Contact, etc) use the block code
{{block type="catalog/product_new" name="home.catalog.product.new" alias="product_homepage" template="catalog/product/new.phtml"}}
From http://www.magentocommerce.com/wiki/groups/248/display_products_on_home_page
For sidebar please refer
http://www.magentocommerce.com/boards/viewthread/10331/
You'll have to set the reference pointer to be Right or Left
Create widget for the sidebar with new product block and set the template where to show that widget.
Go to CMS->Widgets section from admin menu.
Than select type as CMS Static Block and theme, set Widget Instance Title and order and click Add Layout Update button.
Select All Pages from Display On section and than select Block Reference as Right Column.
Now select Block from Widget Options menu and save.
Refresh cache and now the New Product Block visible on right sidebar.
Hope this will help you.

Login into magento admin Now click on any product which you have created
Now Set Product as New from Date and Set Product as New to Date
Now go to CMS home page now click on content then click on show/hide editor then click on insert widget now select Catalog new Product list then save.
Now clean magento cache and check in frontend
If you want to show products of specific category in Home page, try this:
{{block type="catalog/product_list" name="home.catalog.product.list" category_id="3" alias="products_homepage" template="catalog/product/list.phtml"}}
If you want to show new products in Home Page:
{{block type="catalog/product_new" name="home.catalog.product.new" alias="product_homepage" template="catalog/product/new.phtml"}}
But in this case you need to set values of Set Product as New from Date and Set Product as New to Date for products which you want to show in this list.
Note: If the problem still persists, then check:
products quantity > 0
stock availability must be in stock
status must be enabled
product must be either in catalog or search or catalog/search

To show product detail page on category page you have to make ajax request and get the whole detail and insert into div located at bottom of category page.

I am new to magento .
I want to create a right sidebar on product view page such that this is visible only on product view page not on other pages.
How can I do this.Please Help.
Thanks.
To have a right sidebar only on the product page you need to to a few things:
in the admin panel set the product pages to have 2 columns with right sidebar
create a block and template file (or just edit one that is available)
in catalog.xml (this is in your themes's layout folder) find the handle called and within that section find in there you can add your block / template file.
For more info on how you can create blocks and templates see here.
In magento almost every postion is handled by catalog.xml, (if you go the proper way) You can place any static block , in catalog.xml you will find the postioning of blocks for every page (be it category, product or home page) just you need to place the block in the right reference.
In magento the main menu is working based on category list. Here I want the categories as well as I want to add two more links which are not category.
The links should leads to
1. CMS page link
2. Contact us link
If I add any category its become category page how can I insert my own links into category main navigation bar.
Although not free Advanced Menu can do this for you.
