in module file near line 130 you can find something like:

$category_products = $category->getProducts($this->context->language->id, 1, 100); /* 100 products max. */

try to change it to:

$category_products = $category->getProducts($this->context->language->id, 1, 100,null,null,null,true,true); /* 100 products max. */

the last "true" reffers to getProducts function param "random" - if we will set to true, prestashop will get random products

On ps 1.6.0.14 it doesn't work. Shows only one product.

On ps 1.6.0.14 it doesn't work. Shows only one product.

 

if it shows only one product, maybe the category that are selected has only one product ?

[joe ramires]

Of course not. Selected category has a lot of products.

[vekia]

so it should display more products, i checked it in my 1.6.0.14 test environment and it works.

let's  clarify. module displays products from category that is a default category of viewe product, products from other categories are not included to the list of products.

can you please share link to product page where you've got the problem?

Vekia solution is right but missed one parameter:

 

You need to specify the number of random products if you set random products to "true"

 

$random_number_products Number of products to return if random is activated

$category_products = $category->getProducts($this->context->language->id, 1, 100,null,null,null,true,true,100); /* 100 products max. */

will work.

 

It's been too long but someone may need this.
