For the main products page (/products.html), I’d like to have a list of all my second-level categories and their products. I don’t need nested categories, just “preview” the categories + products on the current level.
Something like:
Category 1
--------------------------------
[product] [product] [product]
Category 2
--------------------------------
[product] [product] [product]
Category 3
--------------------------------
[product] [product] [product]
I found this thread http://www.magentocommerce.com/boards/viewthread/9632/, which helped me create a new block for listing categories, but for some reason when I get a list of products, I can’t get any product attributes.
I think that I have the wrong block type configured, but honestly I’m just guessing.
Here’s some code:
From: catalog.xml
...
<block type="catalog/navigation" name="catalog.category" template="catalog/category/list.phtml"/>
...
From: catalog/category/list.phtml
<?php $_categories = $this->getCurrentChildCategories() ?>
<?php foreach ($_categories as $_category): ?>
<?php
$_categoryName = $this->htmlEscape($_category->getName());
$_categoryUrl = $_category->getURL();
$_categoryProducts = $_category->getProductCollection();
$_categoryProductsCount = $_category->getProductCount();
?>
<?php if ($_categoryProductsCount > 0): ?>
<div class="g-container product-list">
<h2><a href="<?php echo $_categoryUrl ?>"><?php echo $_categoryName ?></a></h2>
<?php foreach ($_categoryProducts as $_product): ?>
<?php
$_productName = $this->htmlEscape($_product->getName());
$_productUrl = $_product->getProductUrl();
$_productSmallImageLabel = $this->htmlEscape($_product->getSmallImageLabel());
$_productImageSrc = $this->helper('catalog/image')->init($_product, 'small_image')->resize(154, 111);
?>
<div class="product">
<a href="<?php echo $_productUrl ?>" title="<?php echo $_productSmallImageLabel ?>">
<img src="<?php echo $_productImageSrc ?>" width="154" height="111" alt="" />
</a>
<h3><a href="<?php echo $_productUrl ?>" title="<?php echo $_productName ?>"><?php echo $_productName ?></a></h3>
<pre><?php print_r($_product) ?></pre>
</div>
<?php endforeach ?>
</div>
<?php endif ?>
<?php endforeach ?>
