How to get specific category product list by category id?

[cyberfly]

Hi guys,
 
I want to get specific category product list and display it at my template

 

The page already display the product for that active category A, but I also want to show the product for category B in the same page.

 

I want to achieve something like this

 

 
This is my code, how do I change to get the specific product category by category id?

{if isset($products)}
<div id="" class="ca-container product_scroller">
  <div class="ca-wrapper">
	{foreach from=$products item=product name=products}
	   <div class="ca-item ca-item-1">
		<div class="ca-item-main">
	<div class="ca-image">
	<a href="{$product.link|escape:'htmlall':'UTF-8'}" title="{l s='View'}" class="ca-url">
	<img src="{$link->getImageLink($product.link_rewrite, $product.id_image, 'Medium_la_default')|escape:'html'}" alt="{$product.legend|escape:'htmlall':'UTF-8'}" width="104px" height="104px" />
	</a>
</div>
<div class="ca-label"><a href="{$product.link|escape:'htmlall':'UTF-8'}" title="{l s='View'}" class="ca-url">{$product.name|truncate:35:'...'|escape:'htmlall':'UTF-8'}</a></div>
							
<!-- <a href="{$product.link|escape:'htmlall':'UTF-8'}" title="{l s='View'}" class="ca-more">{l s='view details'}</a> -->
</div>
						
</div>
{/foreach}

In the php file, choose the category ID you want, then

$category = new Category($id_category_you_chose);

$products = $category->getProducts($this->context->language->id);

 

THe full parameters list:

 

 

public function getProducts($id_lang, $p, $n, $order_by = null, $order_way = null, $get_total = false, $active = true, $random = false, $random_number_products = 1, $check_access = true, Context $context = null)

Hi there thanks for the help.

 

Just a question, since I override the category controller, at which function in the override category controller should I put your code?

 

Many thanks again

Problem solve. This is my code on override Category controller

<?php

//file in override/controllers/front/CategoryController.php

class CategoryController extends CategoryControllerCore
{

public function initContent()
    {        
        parent::initContent();
        //load my custom template page, you can comment out if you want
        $this->setTemplate($this->getTpl());

        $acc_products = $this->getAccessoriesProducts();

        $this->context->smarty->assign(array(
            'acc_products' => (isset($acc_products) && $acc_products) ? $acc_products : null
        ));
    }

    protected function getAccessoriesProducts()
    {
        $accessories_cat_id = 239;

        $acc_category = new Category($accessories_cat_id);

        $acc_products = $acc_category->getProducts($this->context->language->id, (int)$this->p, (int)$this->n, $this->orderBy, $this->orderWay);
     
        return $acc_products;
    }
}
