Magento

I’ll start searching around as well. Thanks a bunch for the help. By the way, any idea what page within the admin, allows you to see the best sellers and top rated?? I have not found them yet.

report: product: bestsellers

I’m experimenting with some product displays on the front page.  Wondering if there’s any way to show the grouped product display (the table with qty inputs of associated products) for each grouped product in a list?  Possible addition to the above code?

Have you find anything about Grouped Products??

Thank you

Does this work on the latest version, I’ve now tried to do exactly the same but it ain’t working..

Regarding requests for putting items in random order, I haven’t tried this but I think it should work. Go in to new.phtml and change this:

to this:

I will be trying out the featured items code soon so will have a go at testing out the above code at the same time.

Note: this will only get and shuffle the new products. Truily featured products need to have a featured attribute and be selected from within the template based on that attribute.

True, I was assuming in the above that people were using new.phtml as the template along with the Featured module in nafnaf’s code above, as suggested. If you have copied new.phtml to featured.phtml then obviously the shuffle will need to go there instead.

will this same code work for 1.1.1?  I’ve tried following the instructions by nafnaf1000, but on my homepage.  The block doesn’t display at all.  When I run profiler, I get the output though:  BLOCK: home.catalog.product.featured 0.1511 1 0 0 .  Any ideas why it wouldn’t be working?

I followed the steps exactly from nafnaf1000 in 1.1.2 - I get nothing displaying at all, no errors though.

Random, try this.

$products->getSelect()->order(’rand()’);

using magento 1.1.3 and followed all the steps given by nafnaf1000, but the featured box isn’t showing up.

anyone have the “random” featured products working yet?

I have featured working in 1.1.3 but I get errors when trying the above “random” fixes

Edit:

Sorry I didn’t realize I was supposed to add the random code to featured.php

Works now!

hi there,

just wanted to thank everyone for the code here. Got my Featured products to work well based off this

one question though

I want to display featured products on each sub category page.
Currently i can show all featured products, but what i would to be able to do is only show the featured products within the category im viewing.

Anyone have thoughts on this one?

thanks

Question—what if you only want to display products that are in stock?  Can you somehow modify addAttributeToFilter?

->addAttributeToFilter(’qty’, 1)

doesn’t work, but something like that?
