[joaocoelho]

I would like to adapt the module to show RANDOM PRODUCTS, not only NEW PRODUCT. I don't wan't to have a message like "THERE AREN'T NEW PRODUCTS AVAILABLE".

 

How can i do that?

The function Category::getProducts() can be used to get random products from a category. I can't find a function to get random products from all categories. If you have all your products in the "Home" category, you could replace:

            if (!Configuration::get('NEW_PRODUCTS_NBR'))
                return;
            $newProducts = false;
            if (Configuration::get('PS_NB_DAYS_NEW_PRODUCT'))
                $newProducts = Product::getNewProducts((int) $params['cookie']->id_lang, 0, (int)Configuration::get('NEW_PRODUCTS_NBR'));
            if (!$newProducts && !Configuration::get('PS_BLOCK_NEWPRODUCTS_DISPLAY'))
                return;

with:

            $category = new Category(Configuration::get('PS_HOME_CATEGORY'));
            $newProducts = $category->getProducts($this->context->language->id, 0, 0, null, null, false, true, true, 2);

Change the last parameter 2 to the number of random products you want. Also, if your using an earlier version of PrestaShop that doesn't have the PS_HOME_CATEGORY settings, you'll have to change that to 2 or even 1 for really old versions.

Hello Vekia, this change does not show the new products, which shows are featured products randomly

[vekia]

modification proposed by rocky displays featured products

if you want to display new products randomly it's necessary to shuffle array

shuffle($newProducts);

[jjryeste]

Vekia Thanks for quick response, where should I place    shuffle($newProducts);  in

 

$category = new Category(Configuration::get('PS_HOME_CATEGORY'));
            $newProducts = $category->getProducts($this->context->language->id, 0, 0, null, null, false, true, true,   2);  shuffle($newProducts);

 

please can you tell me, thanks

I'd like to display in the newproducts page not only the new products , but also old products that have been modified lastly.

My shop treats unique products, and once a product is soldout , it may return in a slightly different version. Thus the need to appear as a NEW Product.

In order to achieve this I neeed to mofify the getNewProducts function to do my bidding.

But I am stuck coz I don't know where to find it.

Any ideeas ?

EDIT:

Found it , it is a public function in classes/Product.php 

Now I need to update the SQL to add OR my condition )

will update.

ok done ... a bit too long to post here , so if anyone need it , just message me.

Vekia Thanks for quick response, where should I place    shuffle($newProducts);  in

 

$category = new Category(Configuration::get('PS_HOME_CATEGORY'));

            $newProducts = $category->getProducts($this->context->language->id, 0, 0, null, null, false, true, true,   2);  shuffle($newProducts);

 

please can you tell me, thanks

 

Hi did you end up working out where the Shuffle went?

[dirtrider118]

Tested in 1.6.1.17 and New Products Module v1.10.1

WILL NOT WORK WHEN CACHE IS ENABLED

Create file in directory override/modules/blocknewproducts/blocknewproducts.php and place the code below inside file.

 

<?php

class BlockNewProductsOverride extends BlockNewProducts
{
	protected function getNewProducts()
	{
		if (!Configuration::get('NEW_PRODUCTS_NBR'))
			return;
		$newProducts = false;
		if (Configuration::get('PS_NB_DAYS_NEW_PRODUCT'))
		
		if (isset($this->context->controller->php_self) && $this->context->controller->php_self == 'index') {
			$newProducts = Product::getNewProducts((int) $this->context->language->id, 0, 100);shuffle($newProducts);array_splice($newProducts, Configuration::get('NEW_PRODUCTS_NBR') );
		} else {
			
			$newProducts = Product::getNewProducts((int) $this->context->language->id, 0, 100);shuffle($newProducts);array_splice($newProducts, Configuration::get('NEW_PRODUCTS_NBR') );
		}

		if (!$newProducts && Configuration::get('PS_BLOCK_NEWPRODUCTS_DISPLAY'))
			return;
		return $newProducts;
	}
}
