Random Product Listing

[erginaktasw]

Hi,

 

I use prestashop version 1.5.6.1 and I am looking to configue all product-listing types to Random. I mean in category, search or home. Sadly there is no option for this on admin yet.  How can i do it? I found solutions for some older versions but 1.5.x classes are different.  

 

Please help

hello

 

it's not good idea. why? if product will be displayed randomly, some of them will not be displayed at all, some of them will appear several times on different pages (pagination).

To display products randomly you have to change code of categoryController a little.

there is a code:
 

$this->cat_products = $this->category->getProducts($this->context->language->id, (int)$this->p, (int)$this->n, $this->orderBy, $this->orderWay);

you have to change it to:

$this->cat_products = $this->category->getProducts($this->context->language->id, (int)$this->p, (int)$this->n, $this->orderBy, $this->orderWay,false,true,true);
