Get product information by its id

[simpshoper]

Hi,

 

I wanted to implement top rated products feature in my custom rating module. I get the correct product IDs from my module database, then I create product instance from it, but still I don't know how to get product name, image, etc.

 

I tried the following:

 

foreach($topProductIDs as $topProductID)
{
$topProduct = new Product($topProductID);

$name		 = $topProduct->getProductName();
$link		 = $topProduct->getLink();
$link_rewrite = $topProduct->link_rewrite;

...
}

 

but I got a lot of errors, including:

 

Missing argument 1 for ProductCore::getProductName()

 

and that link_rewrite is an array.

 

I am using Prestashop 1.5.3.1 if that matters.

 

What am I doing wrong? Maybe there is a better way to get product information from its ID?

 

Thanks in advance

You should probably checkout the Product class file.

 

In any case, for sure you're missing the argument 1: language id, like this:

 

$name = $topProduct->getProductName($this->context->language->id);
