How to add a block showing the products of a given category?

[ilclaudio]

Hi all,

I'd like to insert in my site a block that shows the products of a given category.

 

A sort of category carousel that I shoud be able to include in all page: product page, category page, static page and so on.

 

What's the best way to do this accord to you?

You can use the following code to fetch products of any category:

$cat_id = 5; //cany cateogry ID as per your requirement

$cat_obj = new Category($cat_id);

$all_products = $cat_obj->getProducts($id_lang, $p, $n); //$p and $n are page number and number of products respectively

 

Now you can use the $all_products array to show products as per the design you want on the front end.
