[Free Module] Products on CMS pages (PrestaShop 1.7 / 1.6)

[vekia]

Free module to build and display list of products on CMS pages

This is great and free addon that gives you possibility to use special shortcodes while you edit CMS page (preferences > CMS). These shortcodes will be replaced with products. With this feature you can use single product, build list of products and display them in any place of CMS page you want.

 

download link to module - scroll down, you can find it at the end of this post :-)

at the moment module is for PrestaShop 1.7x and 1.6.x

 

How to use module?

as i already mentioned, module is based on shortcodes. Shortcode is a special tiny text that will be replaced with product / products. Explanation of how you can use shortcodes: how to use cms products shortcodes

{product:9}

for example, to insert single product you have to use shortcode {product:9} where 9 is an ID number of product to display

{products:9,3,2,5}

to insert several products and build a list of products you have to use shortcode {products:9,3,2,5} where 9,3,2,5 are a ID numbers of products to display/

 

 

Just use these shortcodes while you will edit CMS page. And that's all! module will build list of products automatically.

Solved turning off "disable all overrides" in preferences > performance

[vekia]

that's right :-)

in some cases this option is enabled

module applies override to CMS controller, so it is necessary to disable this option to use this addon.

Hello,

 

Thanks for this powerfull module Vekia

 

I'm having trouble installing the module, after uploading it to directory I click Install > Proceed with installation > but then it doesn't reedirect to the module configuration page nor the module is installed. 

I tried install other modules and had no problems, I'm running Prestashop version 1.6.0.14 

Disable all overrides option is off.

Thanks in advance!

 

Best regards,

Bruno

 

Note: I tested with PS  v1.6.1.4 and it works, but I'd like to be able to do this in v1.6.0.14

can you turn on error reporting and then try to install module again

do you see some notifications about installation problems?

Hello Vekia,

 

Thanks for help! I turn on error reporting but no error messages.

I have no clue why is this happening but it should be related with PS version, no?

 

Best regards,

Bruno

[vekia]

module supports each available release of prestashop 1.6.x

problem you have can be related to some environment settings.

 

have you got an access to ftp?

1) open module directory

2) rename directory name from "overrides" to "_overrides"
3) try to install the module

4) copy modules/cmsproducts/override/controllers/front/CmsController.php to /override/controllers/front/CmsController.php

5) try to use the module

Nice! Module is installed!

 

>4) copy modules/cmsproducts/override/controllers/front/CmsController.php to /override/controllers/front/CmsController.php

 

>>Already have an override with the same name "CmsController.php" (I think this is what's causing the issue) that is used for another module, should I change name? Should I mix both codes into a single file "CmsController.php" ?

 

Thank you!

 

Best Regards,

Bruno

[vekia]

yes, and because of this override you:

- dont see any information about problems because prestashop 1.6.0.14 handle this type of notification in a bad way so in effect - no information is visible

 

in this case it is necessary to apply override manually.

Thank you! Everything is working now, I merged the codes, both modules seem to work ok

Good Job! This module is really powerfull and easy to use!

[vekia]

thank you for report and for nice words about the module
it's really nice to hear that someone enjoys the stuff that i develop :-)

[psxtavi]

Great module. I encountered the following issues: I changed the default view from grid to list on my website (I modified the code in product-list.tpl and in global.js), using this guide https://www.prestashop.com/forums/topic/323065-list-view-by-default/
and when I use the module to place shortcodes on CMS page the products are not displayed correctly.

 

 

If I use the module on a clean prestashop install, when I place shortcodes on CMS page everything is ok, the products are displayed correctly, but when I change the view from grid to list, the change affects the way products are displayed on CMS page also.

How can I display products on CMS pages as boxes(like on homepage)?

Edited June 6, 2016 by psxtavi (see edit history)

[uamobile]

thanks, good modul. it's possible to add pagination to the module?

[mimifred]

Hi, thanks, great idea.

 

I have an installation problem because of a prior module override. I use a module called "pretty url" that already has an override of CmsController.php.

 

How can I keep both ? merge code ? how ?

 

Also, what is the limitation of the free module ?

 

Thanks

in this case it is necessary to merge the code. case needs inspection of the code that pretty url applied to cms controller override

[mimifred]

Thanks, that is what I thought. Tried it unsuccessfully but will try again. Thanks.

 

And as for the limitations of the free version ?

Hello vekia. Please help! Right after the publication of items on the CMS page everything was good. But today I have a problem with the module - items are shown incorrectly (it is visible on the picture). I cleared a cache, but it did not help. Version 1.6.1.5.

Hello vekia. Please help! Right after the publication of items on the CMS page everything was good. But today I have a problem with the module - items are shown incorrectly (it is visible on the pictureproblem.png). I cleared a cache, but it did not help. Version 1.6.1.5.

 

I have found the solution! If the products catalog in the "Grid" mode (), then products on СMS page is displayed correctly (). If the products catalog in the "List" mode (), then the problem appears. It occurs because on the CMS page there is no left column.

How to realize so that when switching the catalog of products in the "List" mode, products on the CMS page were displayed correctly?

Thank you!

[vekia]

Thanks, that is what I thought. Tried it unsuccessfully but will try again. Thanks.

 

And as for the limitations of the free version ?

 

 

free version is the only one version available at the moment.

i had plan to develop extended version but it will be released once ps 1.7 will be oficially ready

[JRocamora]

Thanks Vekia for save my life!

 

After search and search a ton of posts finally I see this post and incredible (free!)module. I installed it without problems, but I have some bugs that I hope you can help me to fix.

 

1. The images of the products don´t load. I get a blank space and inspecting it with Firebug it seems that nothing loads inside the <a> tag.

2. I think that some css go bad cause the row don´t work properly, I get only 1 colum for my 4 products. I tried to disable the "all overrides" option, but If I do this, the module not work, only shows the shortcode.

 

Thanks in advance and for share your knowledge!!

[vekia]

i dont know your module

this free module uses own different way to display products based on other shortcodes

[BeeZed]

Hi.

Awesome module but when I activate your PrettyURL module together with this one I got the error about override (like the users above).

How to workaround this issue?

 

Thanks for all help.

it is a break-point of prestashop, but fortunately it is easy to solve

I suspected this. Is there any chance to get a how-to instruction for this? ;-)

[vekia]

it is described in post #22

 

1) open module directory

2) rename directory name from "overrides" to "_overrides"
3) try to install the module

4) copy modules/cmsproducts/override/controllers/front/CmsController.php to /override/controllers/front/CmsController.php

5) try to use the module

from my point of view it should work :-)

Hi, same question as lambdaka!

 

Is there a way to force the grid view display of the products on cms?

or to force the module to display the products in grid view?

 

Otherwise, the products are not displayed correctly in list view.

 

Thanks for your help!

I can not install this module in Prestashop cloud. When I try to install it shows "You do not have permission to install this module"

[vekia]

new version of this module to display products on cms pages is ready!

- added support of PrestaShop 1.7 (currently in RC - release candidate - version)

- added improvements to module usage on PrestaShop Cloud platform

- added improvements to code - now it is based on psr-2 coding standards

[dirdi]

how you display cms page on homepage ?:-)

[Swerace]

Looks like a wonderful module!
In my cms page i not see the product, just the text "{product:1,2,3,4}". If I disable all overrides I can't enter the cms page, I just got the text (this page doesn't exit).

this means that you probably had previously some override for cms page, and this override causing errors.

it is necessary to clean up shop from bad overrides, only then it will be okay.

 

you can attach php file /overrides/controllers/cmsController.php file here, i will take a look on it.

[Swerace]

Thanks for your reply! Here is the php file.

1.6.1.7

[vekia]

okay

i checked the file and the overide in clean 1.6.1.7 installation module works well

this means that problem is somewhere else

 

please:

- enable overrides in your shop

- enable error reporting

- try to open cms page

 

share the error code here

Just got the 404 (page can not be found).

so you probably use some friendly url module that does not work well in your shop, verify it.

Just clean up the store from overrides that generating issues - check Dispatcher class

(when you enable the override - you enable also the friendly url module that removes id from urls for example )

Thank you so much for your help! 

 

Humm... I use your pretty clean url, but after that I also installed seo booster for the canonical etc. Maybe seo booster making the problems with url. 

 

Cleaning up the store from overrides is way to high skills for me :-D

Hi Vekia! Thank you for this awesome module

Listen, is there a chance to center align the products into the cms page? If so, can you tell me how to do that? I'd really appreciate the help Thanks in advance!

Hi Vekia, I have sent you comment on your website about this module. I have problem with your module. 
Products display like a grid or something like that. 

In inspect element if I add class for "product list display" ,products are showed well.

new version is available!

- module fully supports PrestaShop 1.7 now

- added minor improvements to module workflow

- if you're on 1.6 you dont have to update the plugin (this upgrade is dedicated for PS 1.7 only)

[oh_prestashop]

A module, that

1. adds value
2. works from scratch
3. is free

@vekia you're my hero of the day! :-)

[Matte01990]

thank you, it works perfectly.

Hello Vekia,

I'm using your module on CMS pages and there it works perfectly.
Now I've tried to use it within our blog and the shortcode won't be resolved. I'm using the blog module which came with our template.

I'm not a programmer... Can you maybe point me in the right direction what's needed to do to get it working there too?

 

Thanks!

as module name says - its from "CMS" pages only

blog page is not a "CMS" page, so its not possible to put products there with shortcodes.

 

this requires modifications of your blog module, 

unfortunately - whole feature must be developed from scratch

Is there any chance to make the module show products on cms through the list style mode instead of the grid mode?

 

Anyway, great module, thank you!
