Randomize products in homepage

[gtonti]

If I have 12 products shown in homepage but I have, tipically, 50 products suitable to be shown, how can I do this?

My wish is to have 50 or more products in HOME category and 12 of this, random select, shown in homepage each load of the page.

 

It is possible?

Hello gtonti,

 

Yes thats possible, great thanks goes to IWAN1979 for this great fix and his code found here http://iwanmadan.com/prestashop-random-product-listing/.

 

Replace the following code below found in /modules/homefeatured/homefeatured.php

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

with:

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

 

This works perfect on PS 1.4.8.2. as i m also use this on this PS version with succes;)

 

Best regards,

Hello hairmania, I don't think that these changes will effect the display in browsers, it should work.

No problem hairmania, make sure to confirm a backup of your store before you change any files! That is rule number 1! Good luck
