Random blockspecials on hookDisplayHomeTabContent

[MaxPayneNSK]

Hello.

Have a question, how make random product show in blockspecials on hookDisplayHomeTabContent, Presta 1.6

 

I would be very grateful

 

[vekia]

you want to display random products from whole catalog or display products randomly from specials only?

Hi Vekia, need random specials on main page in tab discounts.

[vekia]

that's great

 

in blockbestsellers.php there is a function:
 

	protected function getBestSellers($params)
	{
		if (Configuration::get('PS_CATALOG_MODE'))
			return false;

		if (!($result = ProductSale::getBestSalesLight((int)$params['cookie']->id_lang, 0, (int)Configuration::get('PS_BLOCK_BESTSELLERS_TO_DISPLAY'))))
			return (Configuration::get('PS_BLOCK_BESTSELLERS_DISPLAY') ? array() : false);

		$currency = new Currency($params['cookie']->id_currency);
		$usetax = (Product::getTaxCalculationMethod((int)$this->context->customer->id) != PS_TAX_EXC);
		foreach ($result as &$row)
			$row['price'] = Tools::displayPrice(Product::getPriceStatic((int)$row['id_product'], $usetax), $currency);

		return $result;
	}

change last line to return shuffle($result);

If need random blockspecial on homepage, change public function hookDisplayHomeTab on code

 

public function hookDisplayHomeTab($params)
{
if (Configuration::get('PS_CATALOG_MODE'))
return;


if (!$this->isCached('tab.tpl', $this->getCacheId('blockspecials-tab')))
BlockSpecials::$cache_specials = Product::getPricesDrop(intval($params['cookie']->id_lang), 0, 200); shuffle($PricesDrop); array_splice($PricesDrop, Configuration::get('BLOCKSPECIALS_SPECIALS_NBR') );


if (BlockSpecials::$cache_specials)
{ 
shuffle(BlockSpecials::$cache_specials); 
array_splice(BlockSpecials::$cache_specials, ($nb ? $nb : 12)); 
}


if (BlockSpecials::$cache_specials === false)
return false;


return $this->display(__FILE__, 'tab.tpl', $this->getCacheId('blockspecials-tab'));
}

Here '12' - the amount of goods on the page

Hi guys, 

 

I hooked my blockSpecials to hookDisplayHomeTabContent and don't get a random display of my products.

 

I tried your solution on the homespecials.php by pasting them inside public function hookDisplayHomeTabContent($params){}

 

I don't get any good results. Is there a tiny piece of code I'm missing?

 

Thanks very much,

Clément.

change last line to return shuffle($result);

 

I dunno why but in my case it was showing only one product but this

 

shuffle($result);

return $result;

 

is working properly.

 

Ok, that works for Block Bestseller but how about blockspecials home? It is really annoying that it is showin only few specials with highest price. Any idea?

When i do this:

public function hookDisplayHomeTab($params)
{
if (Configuration::get('PS_CATALOG_MODE'))
return;


if (!$this->isCached('tab.tpl', $this->getCacheId('blockspecials-tab')))
BlockSpecials::$cache_specials = Product::getPricesDrop(intval($params['cookie']->id_lang), 0, 200); shuffle($PricesDrop); array_splice($PricesDrop, Configuration::get('BLOCKSPECIALS_SPECIALS_NBR') );


if (BlockSpecials::$cache_specials)
{ 
shuffle(BlockSpecials::$cache_specials); 
array_splice(BlockSpecials::$cache_specials, ($nb ? $nb : 12)); 
}


if (BlockSpecials::$cache_specials === false)
return false;


return $this->display(__FILE__, 'tab.tpl', $this->getCacheId('blockspecials-tab'));
}

 

Appears this 

Warning: array_splice() expects parameter 1 to be array, null given in /home/winespir/public_html/shop/modules/blockspecials/blockspecials.php on line 151.

 

Why?

BlockSpecials::$cache_specials = Product::getPricesDrop(intval($params['cookie']->id_lang), 0, 200); shuffle($PricesDrop); array_splice($PricesDrop, Configuration::get('BLOCKSPECIALS_SPECIALS_NBR') );

Where is $PricesDrop defined?
