Hi, Sorry but this code doesn’t work for me, Might be I m doing something wrong.
I hv created one directory call bestseller under the template directory in my theme.
so path for the bestseller.phtml is “C:\wamp\www\magento\app\design\frontend\default\mycustom\template\bestseller\bestseller.phtml” , is that right ???

and I hv put that block part in my homepage content section.. and i hv changed to {{block type=”core/template” show_total=”12? template=”bestseller/bestseller.phtml”}}
So what is the wrong here?
I couldn’t see anything on my homepage..

Plz help.

Hi,
I wonder if it would, with the help of your code, be possible to add the product->ordered_qty in same way in the backend, to be able to see
how many of each products that has been ordered..
Thanks
Johan

i prefer using this module than the new one as my products are not that much. i have it set on my front page and it is showing the best selling products in vertical form, how can i make it to show them like the best selling products html form table magento has by default?

@Jakub

This is an old article an a old approach. Here is a new module (the real module) that is way more faster http://activecodeline.com/magento-bestseller-module-extensions/

Speed – currend module loads all products and than only displays specified number of products. That is very very slow on a website with thousands of products.
Just add ->setPageSize($totalPerPage) to the Mage::getResourceModel and it will be much faster.

1) It seems that it does not work for current store view. It displays products from another store.

2) I want to use this module to display newest products. Do you think that changing ->setOrder(‘ordered_qty’, ‘desc’); to ->setOrder(‘created_at’, ‘desc’); will work?

How are you able to display the path to the template file ? Is it a module ? Or i’m missing an important feature of Magento… ?!

Thanks

Is it possible for me to implement getPriceHtml($_product, true, ‘-best’) ?> in this piece of code? getPrice works, but I need getPriceHtml.

Thanks in advance

Hi,
Is it possible to get this block to work with configurable products also. I’m affraid that those lines:
Mage_Catalog_Model_Product_Visibility::VISIBILITY_BOTH,
Mage_Catalog_Model_Product_Visibility::VISIBILITY_IN_CATALOG

are pretty good at not taking single products which are a part of configurables into account. :/

Maybe something happened to the Magento filesystem with the latest update, but I can’t find “bestseller.phtml anywhere. Given the depth of Magento’s file system, when referring to files it would hep if a full path was provided. Thanks.

Hey Branko, thanks once more for another good Magento tip. I’ve been learning a few things from your sites.

I have a question about your show_total property. You set it in the block description that goes in the content of the page. I was trying to do a similar thing in the layout xml files for some of my own blocks but it doesn’t seem to work in that case. I.e

Do you know why this is?

Also, if you’re preparing another tutorial, could you possibly do one about the various filter option when retrieving a collection (the add*Filter() methods)

Thanks a lot.
