How to handle products in custom pages

[jlmurgas]

Hello guys!

 

 

I have my custom page to use as a landing page.  I did creating PHP files, Controller, php (root) and tpl.

 

Now, I need to get the products at this page, either a category or a single product. The questions are: how do I get the products from this site? There are some tutorial or documentation for the handling of products?

 

PD: Im using PS 1.6

 

 

 

Thanks!

there are no tutorial about that, but you can check how other controllers work.

for example, 

 

in .php file you have to create object with product:

 

$myproduct = new Product(21); //21 is an ID number of product

 

then you have to pass $myproduct variable to smarty array (with smarty->assign function)

 

now you will be able to display $myproduct variable informations in .tpl file
