Smarty assign all products to .tpl

[muynck]

I made my very first plugin  , however, I want to show all products in a .tpl. So far it wasn't a problem in the php-file I made. But i really want to manipulate it through a controller, as recommended.

 

It ALMOST works, I found a snippet with this: 

$this->context->smarty->assign(
    'products', $this->context->cart->getProducts()
);
$this->setTemplate('details.tpl'); 

This shows all products in the cart... not exactly what I need.

 

Who can help me change this in to all products available in the shop?

 

I have another snippet that works fine with a php file and a template, maybe it helps:

 

$this->context->smarty->assign(array(
    'products' => Product::getNewProducts(intval($cookie->id_lang), 0, 100000, false, $orderBy, $orderWay)
)
);

I set the limit to 100,000, if you know another way, more professional, please let me know.

 

Help would be very appreciated.

hi

 

for PS 1.5.6.1 you have one function in classes=>product.php

/**
	* Get all available products
	*
	* @param integer $id_lang Language id
	* @param integer $start Start number
	* @param integer $limit Number of products to return
	* @param string $order_by Field for ordering
	* @param string $order_way Way for ordering (ASC or DESC)
	* @return array Products details
	*/
	public static function getProducts($id_lang, $start, $limit, $order_by, $order_way, $id_category = false,$only_active = false, Context $context = null)

then for all products

$id_lang = (int)$this->context->language->id;​
$limit =0;
$products =array();
$products = product::getProducts($id_lang,$limit);
$this->context->smarty->assign(products; $products);

 $limit = 0; => all products

 

for your tpl you can adapt the product-list.tpl of your theme and  the product_list.css

remember that this feature can affect performance, especially when you will have a lot of products

Your code seems very plausible, but it still doesn't work. I had a lot of scripts alike. This is the full code now, which gives a blanc page:

if (!defined('_PS_VERSION_'))
exit;

class alphabetDetailsModuleFrontController extends ModuleFrontController
{
public function initContent()
{
parent::initContent();

$id_lang = (int)$this->context->language->id;​
$limit =0;
$products =array();
$products = product::getProducts($id_lang,$limit);
$this->context->smarty->assign(products; $products);

$this->setTemplate('details.tpl');
}
}

I'm fully aware of that. I really want to show all products on one page. It will be somewhere around 300 products.

 

I'm thinking about loading it with AJAX after scrolling... But first get the whole list
