Randomize product List

[LucaPresta]

Hi to all,

currently I'm on prestashop 1.6.1.6 with a TrailMix theme. I need to randomize the product list of a specific category by showing all of the products that can be shown in each page (so the last paramether is (int)$this->n).

 

Currently the CategoryController in the assignProductList() function has the code:

 

if(((int)$this->category->id_category) == 77 || ((int)$this->category->id) == 77) {

$this->cat_products = $this->category->getProducts($this->context->language->id, (int)$this->p, (int)$this->n, $this->orderBy, $this->orderWay,false, true, true, (int)$this->n);

               /*if((int)$this->category->id_category == 77) {

                  $toShuffle = $this->cat_products;

                  shuffle($toShuffle);

                  $this->cat_products = $toShuffle;

                }*/

} else {

$this->cat_products = $this->category->getProducts($this->context->language->id, (int)$this->p, (int)$this->n, $this->orderBy, $this->orderWay);

}

 

But the products are shown without random criteria. I've also tried to disable/enable blocklayered and clean the cache without having success. I've put the die instruction in the initContent method of the controller and it is the controller that is used (test message is shown) so I'm modifying the correct controller.

 

I've already seen the topics over older prestashop versions and applied the solutions suggested but the problem isn't solved:

Someone can help me please?

 

Thank you.
