Random home featured in v1.6

[St055]

Hello,

 

How to have the featured product dispolayed randomly on home?... Ive opened homefeatured.php but all is in cache, I don't know how to do that... Any idea please?

[vybornak]

on homefeutured.php about row 113 you will find something like this

HomeFeatured::$cache_products = $category->getProducts((int)Context::getContext()->language->id, 1, ($nb ? $nb : 8), 'position');

Coment this text and paste this

 

HomeFeatured::$cache_products = $category->getProducts((int)Context::getContext()->language->id, 1, 100, 'position');
      if (HomeFeatured::$cache_products) {
        shuffle(HomeFeatured::$cache_products);
        array_splice(HomeFeatured::$cache_products, ($nb ? $nb : 8));

[St055]

Thanks! But sorry, doesn't work... The products are still the same, and same order... :-(

[Daniel - PrestaBR]

Up.

No luck over here as well.

Hi 

 

Change that:

 

domain/module/homefeatured/homefeatured.php

 

 

-----------------------------------------

 

 

OLD:

 

 

public function hookDisplayHome($params)
{
if (!$this->isCached('homefeatured.tpl', $this->getCacheId()))
{
$this->_cacheProducts();
$this->smarty->assign(
array(
'products' => HomeFeatured::$cache_products,
'add_prod_display' => Configuration::get('PS_ATTRIBUTE_CATEGORY_DISPLAY'),
'homeSize' => Image::getSize(ImageType::getFormatedName('home')),
)
);
}


return $this->display(__FILE__, 'homefeatured.tpl', $this->getCacheId());
}

 

 

 

 

 

 

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

NEW:

 

 

 

public function hookDisplayHome($params){
$category = new Category(Context::getContext()->shop->getCategory(), (int)Context::getContext()->language->id);
$nb = (int)(Configuration::get('HOME_FEATURED_NBR'));
/*$products = $category->getProducts((int)Context::getContext()->language->id, 1, ($nb ? $nb : 10));*/
$products = $category->getProducts((int)Context::getContext()->language->id, 1, ($nb ? $nb : 10), 'date_add', 'DESC', false, true, true, $nb);

shuffle($products);
$this->smarty->assign(array(
'products' => $products,
'add_prod_display' => Configuration::get('PS_ATTRIBUTE_CATEGORY_DISPLAY'),
'homeSize' => Image::getSize('home_default'),
));
return $this->display(__FILE__, 'homefeatured.tpl');
}

--------------------------------------------

[djbuio]

for me it works! Great job.

 

thanx

[vekia]

everything is because of caching. this module uses caching so it will show new products ( by new i mean randomly) only with force compile and without cache.

this is why it's necessary to remove caching functions

[St055]

Yes! It works; thanks! :-)

Hi Guys,

 

I tried mendi_xtv's method but only few of my home category products are displayed with random position.

 

See here: http://hejkupi.me/test/

Edited April 21, 2014 by vmarkovic (see edit history)

[vekia]

use this:

$category->getProducts((int)Context::getContext()->language->id, 1, ($nb ? $nb : 8), 'position',null,false,true,true);

[vmarkovic]

 

use this:

$category->getProducts((int)Context::getcontext()->language->id, 1, ($nb ? $nb : 8), 'position',null,false,true,true);

Thanks Vekia, I will try this as soon as I am on my PC. Should I edit stock homefeatured.php or this edited one?

 

Regards,

 

Vedran

[vekia]

you can edit actual file that you already changed

[vmarkovic]

Hi Vekia, 

Thanks for you reply.

I just replaced the following line in my edited homefeatured.php

$category = new Category(Context::getContext()->shop->getCategory(), (int)Context::getContext()->language->id);

With yours

 

$category->getProducts((int)Context::getcontext()->language->id, 1, ($nb ? $nb : 8), 'position',null,false,true,true);

 

But then I get following error:

Notice: Undefined variable: category in /home5/hejkupim/public_html/test/modules/homefeatured/homefeatured.php on line 129

Fatal error: Call to a member function getProducts() on a non-object in /home5/hejkupim/public_html/test/modules/homefeatured/homefeatured.php on line 129

 

This is my edited code:

public function hookDisplayHome($params){
$category->getProducts((int)Context::getContext()->language->id, 1, ($nb ? $nb : 8), 'position',null,false,true,true);$nb = (int)(Configuration::get('HOME_FEATURED_NBR'));
/*$products = $category->getProducts((int)Context::getContext()->language->id, 7, ($nb ? $nb : 10));*/
$products = $category->getProducts((int)Context::getContext()->language->id, 7, ($nb ? $nb : 10), 'date_add', 'DESC', false, true, true, $nb);


shuffle($products);
$this->smarty->assign(array(
'products' => $products,
'add_prod_display' => Configuration::get('PS_ATTRIBUTE_CATEGORY_DISPLAY'),
'homeSize' => Image::getSize('home_default'),
));
return $this->display(__FILE__, 'homefeatured.tpl');
}

What am I doing wrong, did I edited the right line?

 

 

Thanks in advance.

Regards,

Vedran

[vekia]

you have to use code that i suggested instead of:

$products = $category->getProducts((int)Context::getContext()->language->id, 7, ($nb ? $nb : 10), 'date_add', 'DESC', false, true, true, $nb);

Hi Vekia,

 

I just did that, but same 10-15 products are randomly displayed when refreshed (I have more than 15 products in my home category). I Also have this modification on my live 1.5 site which is working great.

 

Edit:

 

Actually, I got an following error:

 

Warning: shuffle() expects parameter 1 to be array, null given in /home5/hejkupim/public_html/test/modules/homefeatured/homefeatured.php on line 134

And no homefeaured products, just this message: No featured products at this time.

 

Here is my code

public function hookDisplayHome($params){
$category = new Category(Context::getContext()->shop->getCategory(), (int)Context::getContext()->language->id);
$nb = (int)(Configuration::get('HOME_FEATURED_NBR'));
/*$products = $category->getProducts((int)Context::getContext()->language->id, 1, ($nb ? $nb : 10));*/
$category->getProducts((int)Context::getcontext()->language->id, 1, ($nb ? $nb : 8), 'position',null,false,true,true);


shuffle($products);
$this->smarty->assign(array(
'products' => $products,
'add_prod_display' => Configuration::get('PS_ATTRIBUTE_CATEGORY_DISPLAY'),
'homeSize' => Image::getSize('home_default'),
));
return $this->display(__FILE__, 'homefeatured.tpl');
}

works great for me. but sometimes displays items out of stock, theres any way to sort just with products in stock ?

 

 

www.bostonrecycling.net

[vekia]

$category->getProducts((int)Context::getcontext()->language->id, 1, ($nb ? $nb : 8), 'position',null,false,true,true);

to

$products=$category->getProducts((int)Context::getcontext()->language->id, 1, ($nb ? $nb : 8), 'position',null,false,true,true);

[fosg2000]

That was quick ! Ill try in a few

 

Thanks

[fosg2000]

just try, but dont work !!! 

 

www.bostonrecycling.net

[vekia]

sorry for misunderstanding but my post was to vmarkovic.

in your case it's necessary to modify core function getProducts, but in this case it will affect also other part of shop where the product listings are visible

[Kurmus]

mendi_xtv its great

[[email protected]]

Thanks mendi_xtv for your solution my website started working fabulously

Edited May 17, 2014 by [email protected] (see edit history)

[iGiorgis]

i try the code from mendi_xtv but i lose the ribbons

 

I want to show randomly all my "home" products but to show 8 or 12 at home page!

 

how i do that?

Edited May 28, 2014 by iGiorgis (see edit history)

[Xzelot]

I think a " } " was missed and that's why is not working...i put at the end of the line the  } and works for my 

HomeFeatured::$cache_products = $category->getProducts((int)Context::getContext()->language->id, 1, 100, 'position');
 if (HomeFeatured::$cache_products) {
	shuffle(HomeFeatured::$cache_products);
	array_splice(HomeFeatured::$cache_products, ($nb ? $nb : 8));
}

Look the code, there is an if.

Then Clean the Cache from the store, and it's work!,

[mike117]

The changes only randomise the same 20 products for my store, i want to be able to get a total random selection of products not just move around the same products. 

 

www.w2g.co.uk 

 

thanks in advance for any help

 

lots of posts are confusing does anyone have simpled down version for a total random selection of products from you entire inventory?

[guadalupesg]

Thanks, mendi_xtv, I´m using your code and it works OK.

Great!

[AZAHARAFUENGIROLA]

For me doesn't work anymore... it shows always the same products...

[guadalupesg]

Just change this function:

 

public function hookDisplayHome($params)
{
if (!$this->isCached('homefeatured.tpl', $this->getCacheId()))
{
$this->_cacheProducts();
$this->smarty->assign(
array(
'products' => HomeFeatured::$cache_products,
'add_prod_display' => Configuration::get('PS_ATTRIBUTE_CATEGORY_DISPLAY'),
'homeSize' => Image::getSize(ImageType::getFormatedName('home')),
)
);
}
return $this->display(__FILE__, 'homefeatured.tpl', $this->getCacheId());
}

 

for this code:

 

 

public function hookDisplayHome($params){

$category = new Category(Context::getContext()->shop->getCategory(), (int)Context::getContext()->language->id);

$nb = (int)(Configuration::get('HOME_FEATURED_NBR'));

/*$products = $category->getProducts((int)Context::getContext()->language->id, 1, ($nb ? $nb : 10));*/

$products = $category->getProducts((int)Context::getContext()->language->id, 1, ($nb ? $nb : 10), 'date_add', 'DESC', false, true, true, $nb);

shuffle($products);

$this->smarty->assign(array(

'products' => $products,

'add_prod_display' => Configuration::get('PS_ATTRIBUTE_CATEGORY_DISPLAY'),

'homeSize' => Image::getSize('home_default'),

));

return $this->display(__FILE__, 'homefeatured.tpl');

}

 

 

Replace the whole function, and it works.

[AZAHARAFUENGIROLA]

Thanks but, two days ago works perfectly, but now not works... I replace again but is the same....

Hi:

How to random on 1.6.0.9 related products??

Thanks.

[vmarkovic]

Hi webonmaster,

You have to edit /public_html/modules/homefeatured/homefeatured.php.

Replace this part:

public function hookDisplayHome($params)
	{
		if (!$this->isCached('homefeatured.tpl', $this->getCacheId()))
		{
			$this->_cacheProducts();
			$this->smarty->assign(
				array(
					'products' => HomeFeatured::$cache_products,
					'add_prod_display' => Configuration::get('PS_ATTRIBUTE_CATEGORY_DISPLAY'),
					'homeSize' => Image::getSize(ImageType::getFormatedName('home')),
				)
			);
		}

		return $this->display(__FILE__, 'homefeatured.tpl', $this->getCacheId());
	}

with this one:

public function hookDisplayHome($params){
$category = new Category(Context::getContext()->shop->getCategory(), (int)Context::getContext()->language->id);
$nb = (int)(Configuration::get('HOME_FEATURED_NBR'));
/*$products = $category->getProducts((int)Context::getContext()->language->id, 1, ($nb ? $nb : 10));*/
$products = $category->getProducts((int)Context::getContext()->language->id, 1, ($nb ? $nb : 10), 'date_add', 'DESC', false, true, true, $nb);

shuffle($products);
$this->smarty->assign(array(
'products' => $products,
'add_prod_display' => Configuration::get('PS_ATTRIBUTE_CATEGORY_DISPLAY'),
'homeSize' => Image::getSize('home_default'),
));
return $this->display(__FILE__, 'homefeatured.tpl');
}

I just tried this on my 1.6.0.9 - it works.

Vedran

[webonmaster]

 

thanks vmarkovic I have that part solved with the same code.
the one I need is for thumbnails 30 other products in the same category.
Also many thanks and sorry for my English.

Hi webonmaster,

 

 

Sorry didnt catched that. Interesting question though, would like to know that myself.

[Totti]

It works.
is possible via a query to show only the products in stock ?

[jirikcz]

Hi Verdan,

I try your edit but it works only if I switch between New arrivals and Popular. But I have Popular on 1st switch and New arrivals on 2nd switch on my homepage. When I come to my website I can see on both switches (Popular and New arrivals) the same products. Your edit take effect after I switch Popular -> News and back to Popular and take effect only once. I have to refresh my website, switch Popular -> New arrivals and back and after this product random. Do I something wrong?

Thanks for help.

I'm using with success mendi_xtv, but I have a question, It's possible to show random product taken from all products at catalog instead on only products assigned to home category?

[prestatuga]

Hi DARF3D3

 

You have to change ".../modules/homefeatured/homefeatured.php"

 

at line 107

replace this:

	public function _cacheProducts()

		if (!isset(HomeFeatured::$cache_products))
		{
			$category = new Category(Context::getContext()->shop->getCategory(), (int)Context::getContext()->language->id);

[DARKF3D3]

Hi prestatuga,

I copied your code into the homefeatured.php file but to me the products showed seem to be the same as before, I countinue seeing only products assigned to home category.

[prestatuga]

Hi DARF3D3

 

Sorry for my mistake and the incomplete information.
In my shop I added all products to the home category besides having its own main category.
In this store have less than 100 items. If necessary, you can increase the number of random items.
This is not the most elegant solution, but it was the only one that got it working.
I do not have many products and in my case it was easy. In a very large store will be painful to edit all items.

 

best regards,

Prestatuga

[DARKF3D3]

Ok now it's clear, thanks Prestatuga.

Infact I was looking for something that can show random products also in not assigned to home category because I have a large amount of products at catalogue.

[Jhony Ranger]

In ps1.6, the new update version of module is done.

Hi Jhonny, what do you mean with your phrase? I'm sorry but m English it's not the best.

Hi Jhonny, what do you mean with your phrase? I'm sorry but m English it's not the best.

 

The new version of the module, including the random option.

My English is very bad, sorry. 

[DARKF3D3]

Do you know the version number? Mine it's the 1.5 and i don't see the random option and PS doesn't show the message of new update available.

I solved all my problem using this module:
http://addons.prestashop.com/it/funzionalita-front-office-moduli-prestashop/3518-random-home-featured-products.html

 

Radom products taken from all products at catalogue + possibility to show only available products.

Awesome post. Thanks!

Why was the method originally date_add then changed to position?

I am using date_add but after I saw this post using position, I'm trying to understand getProducts different orders.

 

 if ($order_by == 'id_product' || $order_by == 'price' || $order_by == 'date_add' || $order_by == 'date_upd')

                        $order_by_prefix = 'p';

                else if ($order_by == 'name')

                        $order_by_prefix = 'pl';

                else if ($order_by == 'position')

                        $order_by_prefix = 'c';

 

p, pl, and c. 

Can someone explain please?

 

TIA
