$productArray = Product::getProducts from a certain catogory

Hi!

 

How do I use this array to filter out products from a certain product category only?

$productArray = Product::getProducts($this->_currLID, 0, NULL, 'id_product', 'ASC');

Thanks in advance!

Hey.

 

Well, the getProducts() method has a parameter that lets you choose the category:

public static function getProducts($id_lang, $start, $limit, $order_by, $order_way, $id_category = false,
        $only_active = false, Context $context = null)

You can see the $id_category.

 

P.S. This is PS 1.5.6.0. You should check your own Product class to see if yours has this.

Thanks AndriusS!

 

Can't seem to find the public static function in the script. I'm running a 1.4.x.

The only reference i've got in the script is:

$productArray = Product::getProducts($this->_currLID, 0, NULL, 'id_product', 'ASC');

Isn't it possible to change the line above?

Do I need to find the "public static function" and then make the changes there?

 

The script is from a module that makes a feed for Google Merchant.

 

Thanks!

Well, you need to find the function in the Product class because that's where it is called from.

As I'm looking here, which might be the correct place to look for older code, it seems to have the getProducts method that I have mentioned (at 779 line). So you should just be able to change

$productArray = Product::getProducts($this->_currLID, 0, NULL, 'id_product', 'ASC');

to

$productArray = Product::getProducts($this->_currLID, 0, NULL, 'id_product', 'ASC', $THIS_IS_THE_CAT_IM_LOOKING_FOR);

Works like a charm, you're brilliant!
