Random products on product page

[abhijitghogre]

Currently product categories module displays products from same categories on products page.

I want to display random products instead, so that users can redirected to other category products.

Is there any FREE module available for this?

Or how do I modify the existing module to make this change.

Please help.

Thank you.

i don;t know any free module but you can achieve it with modification of default module.

do you use it ? if not, it is possible to change module core to achieve what you expect.

Yes I use the default module. But I am unable to find where it fetches products. Any ideas?

modules/productscategory/productscategory.php

there is a code like:

 

$category = new Category((int)$product->id_category_default);

then $category uses getProducts function.

 

in this case it's necessary to duplicate Category class getProducts function to something like:

getRandomProducts

and remove from sql query where condition:

AND cp.`id_category` = '.(int)$this->id
