[Solved] Product category in home featured module

[yaniv14]

Hi,

 

Trying to get the associated category in Home Featured module.

But getting only with dashes like: 'category-associated-name'

 

Still trying to fig out Smarty

 

Thanks in advance

I am not really sure to understand your question. But as far as i know, the category of the products wich are shown in the "Home Featured" module is the "Home" category (Level 0 of your store).

[yaniv14]

I am talking about showing the related category of the product inside the product lising (like under the name of the product).

hello yaniv

 

you're talking about homefatured module or about product listings?

[yaniv14]

homefeatured module

Hello Yaniv

 

i checked sources and if you use {$products.category_default} you will get the category name.

 

i checked it on my demo store on localhost (i changed iPod category to iPod test) and here is the effect:

 

 

doesn't it work for you? :|

[yaniv14]

Yes, it works perfect.

 

Thank you so much

Suggestions for doing this in module Blocknewproducts ?

 

I have tried taking code from homefeatured; But then I can only show category names of products which are actually placed in the home category (and also are new).

I´ve really tried to get this to work, but it doesn´t.

Both in homefeatured and homenewproducts.

 

Done some reading about smarty but I can´t get it to work anyway.

 

Anyone mind giving me a helping hand?

 

Thanks!

[vekia]

can your describe your problem? it is the same as problem described in first post?

[yaniv14]

Try {$product.category_default} instead of {$products.category_default}

[vekia]

PleXy, let us know if yaniv solution works as you expect

for new products replace homefeatured.tpl lines marked with red with green

 

<li class="ajax_block_product {if $smarty.foreach.homeFeaturedProducts.first}first_item{elseif $smarty.foreach.homeFeaturedProducts.last}last_item{else}item{/if} {if $smarty.foreach.homeFeaturedProducts.iteration%$nbItemsPerLine == 0}last_item_of_line{elseif $smarty.foreach.homeFeaturedProducts.iteration%$nbItemsPerLine == 1} {/if} {if $smarty.foreach.homeFeaturedProducts.iteration > ($smarty.foreach.homeFeaturedProducts.total - $totModulo)}last_line{/if}">

 

{if $products_type == 0}
      {if $new_products}
