OpenCart Community

Looking to display one predetermined category of products on the home page. I realize there are several options available such as the best seller, featured and latest modules. The problem is that they change the display. I'm looking for the ability to display the products exactly the way they'd show if you had clicked on a category on the menu.

Any suggestions on how to do this?

Hi,
I wanted to display 4 random products on my homepage at www.faxcare.net.au. What I did was copied "featured poducts" code and renamed as "random products". The I just changed the models select query to display random result.
You could do the same except change the models query to return products for your chosen category.

Thanks Kym. I tried this earlier. It will pull the products ok but the formatting is completely different than the normal category displays. Plus it's missing the title, description, sorts etc. I've done some further digging and it is possible to create a new controller and template using the category controller template as a starting point. It is messy though.
