Could someone help me with some code to display specific products on a Magento CMS page?
The idea being that I build a page that has multiple sections on it (sections meaning a heading, some intro text and a small handful of products) and the user can add a selection of the displayed products to their cart from this page.
Ideally, the products should be displayed in the grid format, and I should be able to display between 1 and 6 products in each section.
I am using Magento 1.4.0.1 currently.
Cheers!
Consider using a CMS Widget to do this for you.
Here is one: Product List Widget
It isn't free but there are others if you look around.

I am trying to display categories on magento home page. I know how to do it in a normal way using magento collections. I want to have it like a widget, if you insert a category link widget in static block or cms page, you can see the following:
{{widget type="catalog/category_widget_link" template="catalog/category/widget/link/link_block.phtml" id_path="category/3"}}
Now, here the id_path indicates which category to display. Can we modify it somehow to show a list of specified categories. For example like this: id_path = '3,4,5,6' so it will display all these specified categories. Can anybody guide me a way to do this? I don't know much about widget coding stuff in magento.
You can add as many as widgets inside the static block by selecting the widget as many as times you want.
I am working on magento home page and need display products on home page. I have used widgets to display products. I want to display product in list one by one but it shows in grid. Right now I am showing the products in list.
my code is :-
{{widget type="highlight/product_popular" title="special" products_count="3" template="highlight/product/grid.phtml" class_name="highlight-popular"}}
Using this code the product is shown in grid but actually I want to display it in list like:-
1. Product1
2. product2
Please, suggest how I can do this.
whatever you are putting in your grid.phtml - change it as suggested in
base/default/template/catalog/product/list.phtml as per list mode, code followed by it
I am new to CS-cart and trying to set this up for my multi-vendor e-commerce shop.(and I am not a programmer)
So here's my problem, I don't want products to be displayed on any category pages.
This is the flow I am looking to have
Grid of main categories (on homepage)> List of sub category> Associated Sub category> and then products.
I'll assume you are on the latest release of Cs-cart (v.4.x.x), as you did not mention it.
You can control wether you want to show products from subcategories or not through the global setting option "Show products from subcategories of the selected category" that you'll find on the Settings/General menu of your admin area. See the screenshot:
I hope that helps you!
I have a problem deciding how to implement my category/cms page structure in Magento. It seems so over rigid in its design, even to the extent of adding custom fields to categories, I had to access phpmyadmin and hack it manually.
Ok, so consider this basic sitemap, with page types.
Home CMS PAGE
Shop Category
Just In Category
Clothes Category
Shoes Category
Accessories Category
Sale Category
So Home will be a CMS page, that is ok. Just In, Clothes and all other 3rd level categories will display a list or grid of products. Easy peasy.
My issue is with Shop. I need this to contain static blocks or widgets (cannot yet see the difference), and other elements such as a daily featured product, links to promotions etc. This page will not display a list/grid of products, that is not what I need.
If I create a CMS page called Shop, there is a conflict between breadcrumbing, url titles, and a bunch of other stuff.
My question is: how do I create a category called 'Shop' and make it behave like a CMS page with blocks of manageable widgets?
Under Admin -> Catalog -> Manage Categories, select a category and go to the Display Settings tab. Change Display Mode to Static Blocks Only and select the static block that you want to display on that page.
Another option is to use a Wordpress integration extension. Fishpig has one available for Magento.
I would like to have a small number of pages on my site that have some text, and then an associated group of products eg, here is a picture of a nice kitchen, the things we sell that are included in this picture are below. I would like people to be able to click on the product and be taken to that product's page AND I plan to implement functionality that would allow you to add all of the products directly to the basket.
Caveat: All of my main product pages are of Configurable Products, and I would like to "Feature" certain Simple Products on the above pages, eg: this is a picture of a kitchen, we are using a blue lamp. This links directly to the "Lamp" page, but if you add this to basket, you'll get a blue lamp.
I have created the pages as Magento CMS pages and had created a specific inactive category of products for each page. This doesn't work because it links directly to the product in the inactive category, and not the actual category, eg: clicking wants to take you to /kitchinA/lampA.html instead of /lamps/lampA.html
What is the best way for me to include multiple groups of "featured" products, on different pages?
How about using related products?
