Best Sellers Block > Modify Display Number

[vegaskev]

The best sellers block seems to not have the option in the admin area to select how many products will appear when using it.  I'm curious as to where I would get started in changing the amount of products it displays from the standard 6 to maybe 2 or 3.  Anyone know what file I would modify to achieve this?  I would greatly appreciate any guidance, as I'm still getting acclimated with PrestaShop's MVC style folder & framework structure.  Thanks in advance.  I appreciate it.

Hi Vegas,

 

Have a look in /modules/blockbestsellers/blockbestsellers.php, function: (Sample code from Prestashop 1.5.6.2)

	protected function getBestSellers($params)
	{
		if (Configuration::get('PS_CATALOG_MODE'))
			return false;
		if (!($result = ProductSale::getBestSalesLight((int)$params['cookie']->id_lang, 0, 5)))
			return (Configuration::get('PS_BLOCK_BESTSELLERS_DISPLAY') ? array() : false);

		$bestsellers = array();
		$currency = new Currency($params['cookie']->id_currency);
		$usetax = (Product::getTaxCalculationMethod((int)$this->context->customer->id) != PS_TAX_EXC);
		foreach ($result as &$row)
			$row['price'] = Tools::displayPrice(Product::getPriceStatic((int)$row['id_product'], $usetax), $currency);
		return $result;
	}

There you see the line:

 

        if (!($result = ProductSale::getBestSalesLight((int)$params['cookie']->id_lang, 0, 5)))

 

change the number 5 into the amount of products you want to show in the block.

 

 

Remove/turn off cache and reload the front page to see the changes.

 

 

Hope this helps,

pascal.

@PascalIVG.  Thank you for that.  I'm still a PS noob and trying to get acclimated with everything PS.  In order to retain these changes, wouldn't I place that modified blockbestsellers.php file inside /theme-name/modules/blockbestsellers/ folder in order to avoid losing my changes on PS and module updates?  Please advise.
