Magento

hi everybody,

i’m using this code:

{{block type="catalog/product_list" category_id="xxx" template="catalog/product/list.phtml"}}

to display products on my home page. the problem is that the are no attributes shown with it. (3 column cms layout)

any ideas ?

If you look at the block code from this, it retrieves it’s product collection from a layer

You might try overriding this block and adding your attributes.

If no attributes are being shown at all (and you aren’t trying to get custom attributes) you might try simply editing the .phtml template file and add the attributes like normal.

hi nikefido,

thank you for your kind replies.
to be honest i don’t understand these codes to much and i can only guess what they are there for.
i was wondering if it’s not to much to ask
(since there is no way to bypass the home page by trying to use the default URL section in the admin)
if you could write a handy and easy to understand tutorial on this topic?

thanks morsefeuer
