i put this code {{block type=”featuredproducts/listing” template=”inchoo/featuredproducts/block_featured_products.phtml”}} and i cant see in the home page.

but de page featured-produts it ok!

what i do wrong?.

sorry to my english….

thanks!

Thanks again Silv

Wow – Thanks for the quick response!

I am currently getting null

$video1 = $_product->getData(‘videoEmbedCode’);
echo var_dump ($video1);
$video_2 = $_product->getVideoEmbedCode();
echo var_dump ($video2);

I have check the attribute code, value, visible on product view page frontend
I have also only have 1 item with videoEmbedCode which has a value of
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kcOLznrTPzc

I think its something to do with adding it to the object. I think its the code on the listing.php page where it needs to be added to the collection.

Approx line 47

->addAttributeToSelect(‘video’)

SO that it looks like

$collection->addAttributeToSelect($attributes)
->addMinimalPrice()
->addFinalPrice()
->addTaxPercents()
->addAttributeToSelect(‘videoEmbedCode’)
->addAttributeToFilter(‘inchoo_featured_product’, 1, ‘left’)
->addStoreFilter()
->getSelect()->order($this->getSortBy())->limit($this->getLimit());

But when I do that I get an error.

Any ideas would be highly appreciated

Is there a way to include the category-path in the url as well (frontpage block).

At the moment the url looks like this:
…/product.html

I’d like to have it more like this:
…/category/product.html

I’ve been trying to change the file located in:
/template/inchoo/featuredproducts/block_featured_products.phtml

<a href="getProductUrl() ?>…

does anyone know hot to optimize that?

thank you

<?php $i=0;$row=0; foreach ($_products->getItems() as $_product): ?>

As long as you do it between that foreach tag and it’s closing tag on line 45, you can use $_product.

In your case, locate where you want it to be in the html and then use:

<?php $_product->getVideoembedcode(); ?>

OR (if that doesn’t work):

<?php $_product->getData('videoembedcode'); ?>

Hope this helps.

For example a video html code attribute called ‘videoembedcode’. To call it using $_product->getVideoEmbedCode(); Like when you do it on the product page.

What code do I need to add?

Although I really like this extension it’s not working for me. I have Magento 1.5.1.0 installed. I added block_featured_products.phtml to app/design/frontend/default/theme/inchoo. In the backend it’s working and if I go to http://aquathuis.enigma-webdesign.nl/featured-products/ I see the featured products. I added {{block type=”featuredproducts/listing” template=”inchoo/block_featured_products.phtml”}} to my homepage but still nothing… what am I doing wrong?

thanks

I’ve installed this plugin into my magento 1.5.1.1 version and this really looks good. The only thing that is not shown, is the add to cart button. Does anyone has a solution for this?

Thank you in advance!

This extension work like a charm for me! thx alot, but I need to adding radio buttons on admin html, somebody know where I can place the code?

I think I should place the code on:
app/code/community/Inchoo/FeaturedProducts/Block/Adminhtml/Edit.php
but I don’t know in which function I should place the radio button.

any ideas?

If I change this to something like
$_products = Mage::getResourceModel(‘catalog/product_collection’)->addAttributeToSelect(array(‘name’))->addFieldToFilter(‘inchoo_featured_product’, array(‘eq’ => ’1′));
it returns me the featured products.

Anyone could explain me why the default plugin code $this->getProductCollection() fails?

Thank you, man. Your Solution works for me too.
