You could

  - create a Category php object for each of your categories set in your admin page.

  - use the getProducts method on the Category object to get your products

  - assign them to an array

  - assign this array to smarty

       $this->context->smarty->assign(array(
                    'products'             => $your_array
       ));

 

  - this array will now be available in your template.

    {foreach $products as $product}

        <p>{$products['name']}</p>

    {/foreach}
