How to get images from product combination in a list using getCombinationImages

[Cloud Nine]

Hello,

I’ve made a module which list all products by category (for catgory 1, 2, 3, etc.). Users can choose products among different category without reloading pages.

Its works but i need to list products with combinations.

In my module, if i use getAttributeCombinations() in a loop , i get this result :

Array
(
    [0] => Array
        (
            [reference] => Array
                (
                    [0] => Array
                        (
                            [id_product_attribute] => 165
                            [id_product] => 143
                            [reference] => XXXX-B6RG
                            [supplier_reference] =>
                            [location] =>
                            [ean13] =>
                            [upc] =>
                            [wholesale_price] => 0.000000
                            [price] => 0.000000
                            [ecotax] => 0.000000
                            [quantity] => 43
                            [weight] => 0.000000
                            [unit_price_impact] => 0.00
                            [default_on] => 1
                            [minimal_quantity] => 1
                            [available_date] => 0000-00-00
                            [id_shop] => 1
                            [id_attribute_group] => 2
                            [is_color_group] => 1
                            [group_name] => Couleur
                            [attribute_name] => Rouge
                            [id_attribute] => 6
                        )

In smarty, i can do something like this but i'm not sure it's the right way to get all the results :

{foreach from=$combinations[0] item=product name=test key=pro_key}
<p>{$product.reference}</p>
{/foreach}

But, i need to get images of the product combinations. So, i've tried with getCombinationImages()  in my module class :

//inside a loop in array where there are all products in a category
$combinations[$i] = $this_product->getCombinationImages($params['cookie']->id_lang);

The result, if i make a

print_r($combinations);

The result :

Array
(
[0] => Array
(
[165] => Array
(
[0] => Array
(
[id_image] => 58
[id_product_attribute] => 165
[legend] =>
)

)

[168] => Array
(
[0] => Array
(
[id_image] => 156
[id_product_attribute] => 168
[legend] =>
)

)

[166] => Array
(
[0] => Array
(
[id_image] => 157
[id_product_attribute] => 166
[legend] =>
)

)

[167] => Array
(
[0] => Array
(
[id_image] => 161
[id_product_attribute] => 167
[legend] =>
)

)

)

[1] =>
[2] =>
[3] =>
[4] =>
[5] =>
[6] =>
[7] =>
[8] =>
[9] =>
[10] => Array
(
[173] => Array
(
[0] => Array
(
[id_image] => 71
[id_product_attribute] => 173
[legend] =>
)

)

[174] => Array
(
[0] => Array
(
[id_image] => 165
[id_product_attribute] => 174
[legend] =>
)

)

[175] => Array
(
[0] => Array
(
[id_image] => 166
[id_product_attribute] => 175
[legend] =>
)

)

[172] => Array
(
[0] => Array
(
[id_image] => 167
[id_product_attribute] => 172
[legend] =>
)

)

)

[11] =>
[12] =>
[13] =>
)

And i don't know how to handle it with smarty. It sounds too complex this kind of array. Do you think there is a bettter way to get all the images of all products conbination in a list ?

 

thanks, best regards

hey sorry for late reply but it might help others 

once you got id_image you can generate image url this way 
 

foreach ($combinations as $key => $val ) {

$images[] = $link->getImageLink($product_array['link_rewrite'], [id_image] => 58 , 'large_default');

}

/* this will generate array of URL for each id_image
   getImageLink() arguments are as explain below :
   first argument is 'link_rewrite' field from product_lang table for the given id_product,
   second argument is id_image so here as per above foreach its $val['id_image'],
   third argument is default image type you want to get from directory. usually large-default/medium-default used
*/

   

 

i hope this will solve you issue
