1.7 Display a single product on the homepage

[Eclipse42]

Hey guys!

I thought my need was very basic but I can't seem to find a way out.

I just want to display a product on the home page. I don't want like the featured products with only the link to the product. I want directly the product with the add to cart button, the cover, description, everything.

In order to do that, I created a module in which I can configure the product ID to display.

And then, I tried to do something like that

 public function HookDisplayMyProduct($params)
    {
        $productId = Configuration::get('DISPLAYPRODUCT_ID');
        if ($productId !== false) {
            $lang_id = (int) Configuration::get('PS_LANG_DEFAULT');
            
            $product = new Product($productId, false, $lang_id);
            if (Validate::isLoadedObject($product)) {
          
                $this->context->smarty->assign([
                    'product' => (array) $product,
                ]);
        
                return $this->display(__FILE__, 'my-product.tpl');
            }
        }
    }

The my-product.tpl is just a copy/paste from the original product.tpl

And then, in my homepage, I just display the hook

{block name='hook_my_product'}
	{hook h='displayMyProduct'}
{/block}

And I thought it was enough but the $product variable does not contain everything I need, I have some errors like "Undefined index: id_customization (or cover and so on)"

So maybe I did something wrong here and there is an easier way to achieve that.

 

Any input would be much appreciated !

 

I'm on PS 1.7

 

Cheers

Try this:

$product = new Product($productId, true, $lang_id);

Hi, thanks for your answer !
I tried but it does not change the issue unfortunately !

I get the same "Notice: Undefined index: cover" from the product-cover-thumbnails.tpl which looks for $product.cover

(I tried to get the cover with the getCover function but then, it complains about the 'bySize' index...)

Nobody tried that before ?

Call

$product->assignImages();

Thanks for your answer @idnovate.com but I did not find this function in the Product.php class ? (and nowhere in the project)

Can you tell me where is this function located ?

 

Edit : ok it's from prestashop 1.6 I believe. I'm on 1.7 but whatever. But it's from the productcontroller. Can you provide me a snippet to show me how to use that from a module ?

Yes, sorry, I didn't check it was not on PS 1.7.

So let's go back. It's seems that getCover() function doesn't retrieves the cover. What did you do?

Hello,

Have you managed to display a single product on homepage?

I only have few products. I would like to list them all on Homepage with all of its combinations, quantity, description, add-to-cart button… (like they are display on a product Page). I am on PS 1.7.

If you could help me…
Thnak you very much

You need to refer the ProductController. (controllers/front/ProductController.php)

If you edit ProductController.php, the change will be global.
What they advise you here will be a change in categories or subcategories.
It will not be just for the Home Page.

If you are interested in purchasing a module, with this one https://addons.prestashop.com/en/sliders-galleries/45104-products-carousel-and-slider.html you can configure multiple blocks and display them anywhere, with the products that you need.

You just have to change the template to show only 1 product. You can specify the product in the template.
