Add 

shuffle($products);

in your homefeatured.php file at line 100 which should make it look something like 

function hookHome($params)
{
global $smarty;

$category = new Category(1, Configuration::get('PS_LANG_DEFAULT'));
$nb = (int)(Configuration::get('HOME_FEATURED_NBR'));
$products = $category->getProducts((int)($params['cookie']->id_lang), 1, ($nb ? $nb : 10));
shuffle($products);
$smarty->assign(array(
'products' => $products,
'add_prod_display' => Configuration::get('PS_ATTRIBUTE_CATEGORY_DISPLAY'),
'homeSize' => Image::getSize('home')));

return $this->display(__FILE__, 'homefeatured.tpl');

Better is to add this code,

 

$products = $category->getProducts(intval($params['cookie']->id_lang), 1, 100);
if ($products) {
shuffle($products);
array_splice($products, ($nb ? $nb : 10));
}

 

Cause the above posted by jhnstcks shows only random at home and place it only at a different position ( every time the same products) the code posted will do the following.

 

Lets say i have 12 items to show add home that you define in the home featured module, but i add 50 products in category and also marked home then it will randomly shows all 50 products and not only the 12 as you will have with jhnstcks code.

 

Great thanks for this useful code goes to IWAN1979 website with code can be found here http://iwanmadan.com/prestashop-

random-product-listing/

Is this change then correct? Or did I enter it at the wrong place?

function hookHome($params)
{
 global $smarty;
 $category = new Category(1, (int)Configuration::get('PS_LANG_DEFAULT'));
 $nb = (int)Configuration::get('HOME_FEATURED_NBR');
/*ITO SHUFFLE right place herE?*/
    $products = $category->getProducts(intval($params['cookie']->id_lang), 1, 100);
    if ($products) {
    shuffle($products);
    array_splice($products, ($nb ? $nb : 10));
    }

 $smarty->assign(array(
 'products' => $category->getProducts((int)$params['cookie']->id_lang, 1, ($nb ? $nb : 10)),
 'add_prod_display' => Configuration::get('PS_ATTRIBUTE_CATEGORY_DISPLAY'),
 'homeSize' => Image::getSize('home')));
 return $this->display(__FILE__, 'homefeatured.tpl');
}

Yes this works in 1.5.3.1 too!

 

Eveh with changed reference category (I changed it to 888 see below).

It is all very nice this way.

 

But when I change languages, no featured products are found to display on the homepage.

 

Does anyone here know how to make the featured products appear on the omepages in other languages than the default language?

 

 

This is the resume of the code I using the info from the posts above (thank you all for the input):

 

public function hookDisplayHome($params)

{

$category = new Category(888, Context::getContext()->shop->getCategory(), (int)Context::getContext()->language->id);

$nb = (int)(Configuration::get('HOME_FEATURED_NBR'));

$products = $category->getProducts(intval($params['cookie']->id_lang), 1, 5000);

if ($products) {

shuffle($products);

array_splice($products, ($nb ? $nb : 10));

}

$this->smarty->assign(array(

'products' => $products,

'add_prod_display' => Configuration::get('PS_ATTRIBUTE_CATEGORY_DISPLAY'),

'homeSize' => Image::getSize(ImageType::getFormatedName('home')),

));

 

return $this->display(__FILE__, 'homefeatured.tpl');

}

 

==================

 

 

 

 

But, if I change languages from the default EN to NL,

no featured products are displayed on the homepage anymore!

 

Does someone know a solution for that?

Don't have a clue

Hi everyone,

 

anyone knows in which class I can find the getProducts function?

I need to duplicate it and add a filter.

 

Thanks in advance!

Do you get code for presta 1.4.6.2 ????? Code

function hookHome($params)

{

global $smarty;

 

$category = new Category(1, Configuration::get('PS_LANG_DEFAULT'));

$nb = (int)(Configuration::get('HOME_FEATURED_NBR'));

$products = $category->getProducts((int)($params['cookie']->id_lang), 1, ($nb ? $nb : 10));

shuffle($products);

$smarty->assign(array(

'products' => $products,

'add_prod_display' => Configuration::get('PS_ATTRIBUTE_CATEGORY_DISPLAY'),

'homeSize' => Image::getSize('home')));

 

return $this->display(__FILE__, 'homefeatured.tpl');

is good but don´t show randomly products.............

a this code for version 1.4.6.2 is not compatible......

$products = $category->getProducts(intval($params['cookie']->id_lang), 1, 100);

if ($products) {

shuffle($products);

array_splice($products, ($nb ? $nb : 10));

}

Works fine in 1.5.3.

 

Kashibabu, what about small change like this:

 

 

$products = $category->getProducts((int)Context::getContext()->language->id, 1, 100);

if ($products) {shuffle($products);array_splice($products, ($nb ? $nb : 10));

 

Languages seem to work fine.

you guys ROCK! i stumbled upon this and implemented it in 1.5.3 and it is AWESOME so far.

 

kashibabu, i have my site in spanish and english for now (more langs to come) and the original code posted by "ysco" a page back works for me in both languages. you can see it working at http://www.fixgear.info .

 

ysco, so, basically, your code will pull randomly from any products i associate with the "home" category?

you see, i am adding products now to my store and so far have only added in one category so i have no way to test until i add to more categories.

 

awesome so far though!!!

 

saludos,

BTW, ysco, i have a question.

 

i have tweaked the "accessories" tab on my product pages to show related products instead since my products do not have accessories.

 

could i apply your code to that section so the related products shuffle like that? if so, what code would i paste in and where?

 

see http://www.fixgear.info/index.php?id_product=13&controller=product&id_lang=1 for what i mean. just look at the tabs beneath the product and click the "Related Items" tab.

 

thanks!!!

hmmm... now that i think about it, i would not want ALL products to shuffle on a category page so i think that the code by jhnstcks would work better but CAN IT BE APPLIED TO category pages that list the products in that category so they shuffle each time the page loads?

 

anyone?

 

in what file and on what line would the code go?

 

thanks,

jer...

	$products = $category->getProducts(intval($params['cookie']->id_lang), 1, 100);

Hi,

 

I've slightly modified the Home Featured module to include the randomised option for folks that don't wish to modify the php code and also make it easier to disable the random selection if required.

 

In the configure option for the home featured module I've add an option to select the amount of products to randomly pick from.

 

If you set this to say 100, you featured products page will grab the first 100 products from your home category, shuffle them up and then pick out the amount of products that you have set to be shown.

 

To easily replace you existing module, simply go into the admin area, select the modules tab, locate the existing Home Featured module and select delete.

 

You then select Add a new module, click the browse button and point to the homefeatured.zip file that you have download (homefeatured.zip).

 

Install it by clicking install and then click configure.

 

In the configuration simply set the amount of products you wish to be displayed on the featured area as usual and then set the amount of products you wish to randomly pick from.

 

If you set this to 0 then the random feature will be disabled and you will be back to the standard functionality of the original Home Featured module.

 

Hope this helps... :)

hi all. i was wondering why only a limited amount of products were in the "pool" of products to be chosen randomly when i had all of my products selected to the "Home" category but i figured it out so i wanted to share it here.

 

change the "100" in...

 

$products = $category->getProducts(intval($params['cookie']->id_lang), 1, 100);

 

to the amt. of products you want to be candidates to appear on the home featured. if you leave it at 100 you limit that to the first 100 active products that you have added to your site.

 

i changed mine to 400 to include all of my products.

 

saludos,

Add 

shuffle($products);

in your homefeatured.php file at line 100 which should make it look something like 

function hookHome($params)
{
global $smarty;

$category = new Category(1, Configuration::get('PS_LANG_DEFAULT'));
$nb = (int)(Configuration::get('HOME_FEATURED_NBR'));
$products = $category->getProducts((int)($params['cookie']->id_lang), 1, ($nb ? $nb : 10));
shuffle($products);
$smarty->assign(array(
'products' => $products,
'add_prod_display' => Configuration::get('PS_ATTRIBUTE_CATEGORY_DISPLAY'),
'homeSize' => Image::getSize('home')));

return $this->display(__FILE__, 'homefeatured.tpl');

Hello, I would get random products within categories.

I use prestashop version 1.4.10 and I do not work to change the code in the productcategory.php file (which I see if it works in other versions):
$ categoryProducts = $ category-> getProducts (intval ($ params ['cookie'] -> id_lang), 1, 100);
if ($ categoryProducts) {
shuffle ($ categoryProducts);
array_splice ($ categoryProducts, ($ nb $ nb: 10));
}

I would comment that I temporarily deleted productcategory.php and continues to show me the list. It's as if the file had nothing to do.
Where I can be wrong?

Greetings and thanks. (and sorry for my english google)

remove all $this->_clearCache('homefeatured.tpl'); instances from .php file

 

also remove it from hookDisplayHome($params) function:

if (!$this->isCached('homefeatured.tpl', $this->getCacheId('homefeatured'))){

}

 

$this->_clearCache('homefeatured.tpl');

this apears in many lines. wich one to remove?

 

and from the hook, wich line also?

 

thanks.

Between (bottom):

$products = $category->getProducts((int)Context::getContext()->language->id, 1, ($nb ? $nb : 10));
  $this->smarty->assign(array(
Add:

$products = $category->getProducts(intval($params['cookie']->id_lang), 1, 100);
if ($products) {
shuffle($products);
array_splice($products, ($nb ? $nb : 10));
}
It'll be:

$products = $category->getProducts((int)Context::getContext()->language->id, 1, ($nb ? $nb : 10));
		$products = $category->getProducts(intval($params['cookie']->id_lang), 1, 100);
		if ($products) {
		shuffle($products);
		array_splice($products, ($nb ? $nb : 10));
		}
		$this->smarty->assign(array(
That's all

 

Works on 1.5.4.1. Thanks

if you use 1.5.6.2 you don't have to remove this code because prestashop 1.5.6.2 supports cache for modules

Hello im using 1.5.6.2.

im wondering how to disable caching for this module, to get fresh list of featured products for every refresh of page. 

Or any oher way to achieve this (if possible- cache 100 products and then pick random 7pcs every time page is reloaded)

Thank you :) <3

you can remove cache only with modification of module php file, there is no other way, unfortunately.

 

inside homefeatured.php file you can find code like:
 

	public function hookDisplayHome($params)
	{
		if (!$this->isCached('homefeatured.tpl', $this->getCacheId('homefeatured')))
		{
			$category = new Category(Context::getContext()->shop->getCategory(), (int)Context::getContext()->language->id);
			$nb = (int)Configuration::get('HOME_FEATURED_NBR');
			$products = $category->getProducts((int)Context::getContext()->language->id, 1, ($nb ? $nb : 8), "position");

			$this->smarty->assign(array(
				'products' => $products,
				'add_prod_display' => Configuration::get('PS_ATTRIBUTE_CATEGORY_DISPLAY'),
				'homeSize' => Image::getSize(ImageType::getFormatedName('home')),
			));
		}
		return $this->display(__FILE__, 'homefeatured.tpl', $this->getCacheId('homefeatured'));
	}

instead of this code, use this one:

	public function hookDisplayHome($params)
	{
		
			$category = new Category(Context::getContext()->shop->getCategory(), (int)Context::getContext()->language->id);
			$nb = (int)Configuration::get('HOME_FEATURED_NBR');
			$products = $category->getProducts((int)Context::getContext()->language->id, 1, ($nb ? $nb : 8), "position");

			$this->smarty->assign(array(
				'products' => $products,
				'add_prod_display' => Configuration::get('PS_ATTRIBUTE_CATEGORY_DISPLAY'),
				'homeSize' => Image::getSize(ImageType::getFormatedName('home')),
			));
		return $this->display(__FILE__, 'homefeatured.tpl');
	}

				'homeSize' => Image::getSize(ImageType::getFormatedName('home')),
			));
		return $this->display(__FILE__, 'homefeatured.tpl');
	}

Thank you for your reply.

Unfortunately i already made this before i ask... but module still works like it uses cache... shuffeling works good, but i see change only after reloading my cache. I dont understand why. Im sure i removed the "isCached" condition as you said. prosperk.cz here you can see in block "Vybrali jsme pro Vás". Thank you again Vekia.

by default code looks like:
 

return $this->display(__FILE__, 'homefeatured.tpl', $this->getCacheId('homefeatured'));

it's necessary to change it to

return $this->display(__FILE__, 'homefeatured.tpl');

i removed this part of code: 

, $this->getCacheId('homefeatured')

it's a part related to cache, so it's necessary to remove it.

Changing the code work for me and i use it for about 1 month but i note that some of my products were never displayed.

 

 

If i want to display lets say 28 products ramdomly i just check the category home, or i can displayed ramdomly by category... Very happy with this module... I note that some products that werent displayed with changing the code are now displayed...

Thanks, It works in 1.5.6.2

But only random the first 8 articles...

How can I tell the module to take all items in home to show them randomly?

 

change line:

$products = $category->getProducts((int)Context::getContext()->language->id, 1, ($nb ? $nb : 8), "position");
 

to:

$products = $category->getProducts((int)Context::getContext()->language->id, 1, ($nb ? $nb : 8), "position",null,null,true,true);

I think no one knows how to solve this.

Is there any way to show the new items in home module?

 

I think we all want to not be shown always the same products. So if we can´t random them if it is possible to make the module show the new ones can be a good solution too.

it's neessary to remove caching from this module (all caching functions) and of course to change this:

$category->getProducts((int)Context::getContext()->language->id, 1, ($nb ? $nb : 8), 'position');

to function already mentioned somewhere above
