A category id based solution will be good. On Magento 1.6.2.0 stable it works not. I developed now my own bestseller extension.

On upgrade from 1.4 to 1.6 , it is not working.
It do not shows the addAttributeToSelect attributes in phtml as well as it do not even filter store wise.

Here is the query it is shoing

SELECT SUM(order_items.qty_ordered) AS `ordered_qty`, `order_items`.`name` AS `order_items_name`, `order_items`.`product_id` AS `entity_id`, `e`.`entity_type_id`, `e`.`attribute_set_id`, `e`.`type_id`, `e`.`sku`, `e`.`has_options`, `e`.`required_options`, `e`.`created_at`, `e`.`updated_at` FROM `tp_sales_flat_order_item` AS `order_items` INNER JOIN `tp_sales_flat_order` AS `order` ON `order`.entity_id = order_items.order_id AND `order`.state <> 'cancelled' LEFT JOIN `tp_catalog_product_entity` AS `e` ON (e.type_id NOT IN ('grouped', 'configurable', 'bundle')) AND e.entity_id = order_items.product_id AND e.entity_type_id = 4 WHERE (parent_item_id IS NULL) GROUP BY `order_items`.`product_id` HAVING (SUM(order_items.qty_ordered) > 0) ORDER BY `ordered_qty` desc LIMIT 4

It drops an exception error in 1.5.1.0 on the line:

$_productCollection = Mage::getResourceModel('reports/product_collection')
                              ->addAttributeToSelect('*')
                              ->addOrderedQty()
                              ->addAttributeToFilter('visibility', $visibility)
                              ->setOrder('ordered_qty', 'desc');

any ideas?

get price html using following code on bestesller.phtml:

$storeId = Mage::app()->getStore()->getId(); $_product= Mage::getModel(‘catalog/product’)->setStoreId($storeId)->load($product->entity_id);
$theProductBlock = new Mage_Catalog_Block_Product; echo $theProductBlock->getPriceHtml($_product, true);

For using pricehtml on bestseller.phtml use the following code:

setStoreId($storeId)->load($product->entity_id); ?>

getPriceHtml($_product, true); ?>

Hi Roman,

The issue regarding the adding in the cart and price display has been solved. I have uploaded a new bestseller.phtml to the zip file. Thank you for bringing up the bug!

Hi Erik,
your extended code looks great, but adding to the cart doesn’t work and there is no price shown. Any tips how to manage these issues?

Hi Chintan!

What I get is that you want to run bestseller calculation only once
and to set a bestseller flag attribute on products and when page loads the query is done by that attribute.
Yes it can be done. You have to access each bestseller product object and update the flag.
