override category and display products from specefique category by ID

[eagleman]

I am making some modifications in the way that customers explore products in a new page .tpl by overriding category

/public_html/controllers/front/AutoDiagController.php

public function initContent()

    {

       

        $module = new cdkeys();

        $psversion = $module->psversion();

        $cdkeys = CdKeysArchive::getAllByCustomer($this->context->customer->id);

        if (!is_array($cdkeys))

        {

            $cdkeys = array();

        }



        parent::initContent();

        $products_partial = Product::getProducts($this->context->language->id, 0, 50, 'name', 'asc');

        $products = Product::getProductsProperties($this->context->language->id, $products_partial);

        $this->context->smarty->assign(array(

            'products' => $products,

            'homeSize' => Image::getSize('home_default'),

                'cdkeys' => $cdkeys,

                'cdkeys_count' => count($cdkeys),

                'cdkeys_customer' => $this->context->customer,

                'psversion' => $psversion

            ));

        $this->setTemplate('AutoDiag.tpl');

    }

 

Is there a function that works but gets products from a defined category using a category ID (rather than the current category) ?

I would like to display products from a specific category

When I put this code, it shows me all the products.

{foreach from=$products item=product name=products} {$product.name|escape:'htmlall':'UTF-8'} {/foreach}

Category::getProducts

Or:

$idCategory = Tools::getValue('id_category');
if ($idCategory) {
	$productInCategory = Db::getInstance()->executeS('SELECT id_product FROM '._DB_PREFIX_.'category_product WHERE id_category = '.(int)$idCategory.' GROUP BY id_product');
	$products = array();
	foreach ($productInCategory as $idProducts){
		$product = new Product((int)$idProduct['id_product'], true, $this->context->language->id, $this->context->shop->id);
		$products[] = array($product);
	}
}

if ($products){
	$this->context->smarty->assign ..........
}
