Product list custom page for my module

[kangoo13]

Hello everybody,

 

I have a module which is composed of select html form. And when the form is submited I want to display the normal product list display but with a custom query, so that I can choose which products I want to display.

 

Can you lead me on a way to do this? Thanks

in your module controller you have to create function to get products from database

for example

 

$products[] = new Product(3);

$products[] = new Product(15);

where 3  and 15 are id numbers of products

then pass $products variable to smarty $this->context->smarty->assign('products'=>$products);

do it inside function where you call .tpl file in your module controller.

 

 

then in tpl file you will be able to do foreach loop on $products variable and display products you assigned to this array

This part of the question i already knew it it some way, my hard part is how to use a template of the current theme listing product? If you see what I mean..

[razaro]

Well if you check module block new products for example, homepage part, you will see

{if isset($new_products) && $new_products}
	{include file="$tpl_dir./product-list.tpl" products=$new_products class='blocknewproducts tab-pane' id='blocknewproducts'}
{else}
<ul id="blocknewproducts" class="blocknewproducts tab-pane">
	<li class="alert alert-info">{l s='No new products at this time.' mod='blocknewproducts'}</li>
</ul>
{/if}

So you see it includes product-list.tpl so it will have same display as current theme.

You will need to pass array of products and change class and id ...

This is the the display of new product list no ? What If I want exactly the same display when we search for products in category ?

[razaro]

Yes it is new products but I give you that as example, if you check code a bit you will find this also for search

{include file="$tpl_dir./product-list.tpl" products=$search_products}

So you need a way to populate your array and use it like this

{include file="$tpl_dir./product-list.tpl" products=$your_array}

Here is my controlelr : 

    parent::initContent();
    $products = array();
    $products = new Product(8);
    $this->context->smarty->assign(array('products'=>$products));
    $this->setTemplate('display.tpl');

Here is my tpl :

{if $products}
			<div class="content_sortPagiBar clearfix">
            	<div class="sortPagiBar clearfix gfont">
            		{include file="$tpl_dir./product-sort.tpl"}
                	{include file="$tpl_dir./nbr-product-page.tpl"}
                	{include file="$tpl_dir./product-compare.tpl"}
				</div>
			</div>
			{include file="$tpl_dir./product-list.tpl" products=$products}
			<div class="content_sortPagiBar">
				<div class="bottom-pagination-content sortPagiBar  bottom clearfix">
            		{include file="$tpl_dir./product-sort.tpl" display='viewtype'}
                    {include file="$tpl_dir./pagination.tpl" paginationId='bottom'}
				</div>
			</div>
{/if}

As you can see i'm loading only one product, have you an idea why I got like 30 blanks products on my display page ?

 

Here is the display : 

 

[razaro]

You did not do what Vekia have said 

$products[] = new Product(15);

so you need to to try to add product to array. 

Also maybe try to use custom name like $my_products maybe this pick up some other $products array.

My new php :

<?php

if (!defined('_PS_VERSION_'))
  exit;
class CarBrowserDisplayModuleFrontController extends ModuleFrontController
{
  public function initContent()
  {
    parent::initContent();
    $myprod[] = new Product(8);
    $this->context->smarty->assign(array('myprod'=>$myprod));
    $this->setTemplate('display.tpl');
  }


}
?>

My new tpl :

{if $myprod}
			<div class="content_sortPagiBar clearfix">
            	<div class="sortPagiBar clearfix gfont">
            		{include file="$tpl_dir./product-sort.tpl"}
                	{include file="$tpl_dir./nbr-product-page.tpl"}
                	{include file="$tpl_dir./product-compare.tpl"}
				</div>
			</div>
			{include file="$tpl_dir./product-list.tpl" products=$myprod}
			<div class="content_sortPagiBar">
				<div class="bottom-pagination-content sortPagiBar  bottom clearfix">
            		{include file="$tpl_dir./product-sort.tpl" display='viewtype'}
                    {include file="$tpl_dir./pagination.tpl" paginationId='bottom'}
				</div>
			</div>
{/if}

And the result is worse now .. look :

 

 

 

The same thing happens if i rename myprod to products..

 

EDIT : I found that the problem happens in the product-list.tpl , so every $products are well loaded but when the product-list want to access a field by {$product.id} for exemple it is here where it bugs.. turns into blank page (but the $products are not null, i var_dump them already and it's not empty)

Hi, bumping this thread since I have the same problem.

 

Product-list seems to require an associative array, but when casting the object to an array, it only kinda works. How can I get an associative array from the said product?

[Pedro]

@eloncheur Same problem here. The problem is that new Product does not create all the properties you need for product-list.tpl.
Did you found a solution?

[carlos.batista]

Same problem, any solution yet?
