Slider: products dependent on Category page ID?

[Mike Goodstadt]

Hi all,

I am coding a slider block of products which can be placed in the header of any category page.

The slider must only show the products of the relevant page (navigated to from the menu) eg:

http://www.myshopsit...roller=category

How can I get the category ID of each category page to feed into the following?

   	 $currentproducts = $category->getProducts($idLang, 0,0, 'id_product', 'ASC', [iNSERT CATEGORY ID HERE], true);

This $products gets used in the following to make a list in the .tpl template which the slide JS can manipulate.

   	 $products = $this->getImages($currentproducts, $params);

Can anyone help me with this?

Many thanks,

Mike

Ok - no one ever seems to answer on these forums...

My own solution is :

   	 $currentcategory = (int)Tools::getValue('id_category');
       $currentproducts = Product::getProducts($idLang, 0,0, 'id_product', 'ASC', $currentcategory, true);
       $products = $this->getImages($currentproducts, $params);
