Get products by category id

[peter69]

I want to add to the home page a carrousel of products of a specific category.

I have added the following code to packages/my-theme/templates/client/html/catalog/home/body.php:

Code: Select all

$context = $this->context();
$products = \Aimeos_ControllerFrontend::create( $context, 'product' )
->sort( 'relevance' ) // prioritize user sorting over the sorting through relevance and category
->category( [67], 'default', 1 )
->uses( ['text'] )
->search();

However it doesn't work, I get the following error: Class "\Aimeos\Base\View\Helper\Context\Standard" not available

I made the code based on some answers I have seen in topics.

What I need is to get a list of products (with their respective image, name, price) of a certain category.

Also, is it possible to get a list of categories with their respective data?

Again thank you very much for your help,

Regards

The context isn't available in templates for good reasons (e.g. caching) and you are not allowed to fetch data in templates. Instead, you have to create a decorator where you add additional data to the view in the data() method:

I added the following decorator: packages/my-theme/src/Client/Html/Common/Decorator/ProductsCategory.php

This is the code for ProductsCategory.php:

Code: Select all

<?php

namespace Aimeos namespace Aimeos "Aimeos";

class ProductsCategory
    extends AimeosClientHtmlCatalogBase
    implements AimeosClientHtmlCommonClientFactoryIface
{

    /**
     * Sets the values of the required parameters in the view.
     *
     * @param \AimeosBaseViewFace $view The view object that generates the HTML output.
     * @param array &$tags Resulting array for the list of tags that are associated with the output.
     * @param string|null &$expire Resulting variable for the expiration date of the output (null for no expiration)
     * @return \Aimeos "View object modified".
     */
    public function data(\AimeosBaseViewIface $view, array &$tags = [], string &$expire = null ) : \AimeosBaseViewIface.
    {
        $view->customParam = 'this is a test';
        return parent::data( $view, $tags, $expire );
    }
}

Then to test I added

Code: Select all

var_dump($this->get( 'customParam'));

to packages/my-theme/templates/templates/client/html/catalog/home/body.php.

But in the frontend it shows NULL.

Don't forget the configuration:

I was able to implement it!

Thank you very much!

I have a simple route, controller and view on the main page.
How can I get products by category id?
I want to make carousel.
Or I can partial render CMS Cataloglist?

update:

Code: Select all

$products = \Aimeos\Controller\Frontend::create( app( 'aimeos.context' )->get(), 'product' )
                ->category( [10] )
                ->slice( 0, 3 )
                ->search();

Use the product() method of the product frontend controller:
