I'm sure I've over-thought this problem which is why I can't figure it out!
On my category pages I'd like to feature some products / product images. Obviously there's the Featured module but that seems a little limited as I'd like to show products from the specific category being viewed - not products from other categories. For example if the user is viewing the iPad category then a selection iPads is shown, not iPhones.
Is it a case of manually duplicating the Featured module in the filesystem each time, renaming it Featured 2, 3 (etc.) and placing different "Featured" modules (appropriately populated with products) on the different category pages?
It feels like there must be a more elegant solution / extension for this... ;-)
Thanks,
Steve

Here is a FREE way to do this:
FIRSTLY BACK UP ANY FILES YOU NEED TO EDIT BELOW
1) Make sure that the "Featured" module is on the category layout.
2) Open the catalog/controller/module/featured.php
3) Search for this code:
Code: Select all
$products = array_slice($products, 0, (int)$setting['limit']);
Code: Select all
if(isset($this->request->get['route']) && $this->request->get['route'] == 'product/category'){
$category_id = $this->request->get['path'];
}else{
$category_id = '';
}
Code: Select all
$product_info = $this->model_catalog_product->getProduct($product_id);
Code: Select all
$product_info = $this->model_catalog_product->getProduct($product_id, $category_id);
Search for this code:
Code: Select all
public function getProduct($product_id) {
Code: Select all
public function getProduct($product_id, $category_id = false) {
Code: Select all
$query = $this->db->query("SELECT DISTINCT *, pd.name AS name, p.image, m.name AS manufacturer, (SELECT price FROM " . DB_PREFIX .

Unfortunately the "easy" option, which initially looked appealing seems to have died a death. The comments/reviews imply lots of errors, no reply from support and their demo link takes me to "This site has been suspended". Hmmm..
Thanks again though Peter I do appreciate your reply. If you / anyone knows of another module that does the same thing it would be great to hear.
Regards,
Steve

It should work for 1.5.5.x for sure!

So basically I populate the standard OpenCart "Featured" module with all the products I'd like featured on my site, and when inserted on say my 'iPad' category your module only shows products from category 'iPad' ? Sounds like it. Off to try now!
Cheers,
Steve

This is with the default OC template and without your mod installed, it's nothing to do with your work. Bizarre - must be the heat.
