Magento - How to display ALL PRODUCTS in the homepage?

Question

Display all products in the homepage? Anyone who have had done this?

Note: This can be done in the CMS pages by adding manually each and every category id.. I don't want to do that.. Too much hassle if I have hundreds of categories..

I think this can be coded but I don't know where to start? Thanks and more power!

Answer 1

Go to the homepage in the CMS -> Manage pages and add the following code snippet into the WYSIWYG

{{block type="catalog/product_list" name="home.catalog.product.list" alias="products_homepage" template="catalog/product/list.phtml"}}

This should then list all of the products in your shop on that page.

You could also use the same code to drill down into a specific category, by adding the category variable, e.g.

{{block type="catalog/product_list" name="home.catalog.product.list" alias="products_homepage" category_id="9" template="catalog/product/list.phtml"}}

tried this and it says "there are no products matching the selection".. I'm using Mage 1.4.0.1 – Dizon

Have you got any products in the Root Catalog of the shop? They need to be in there to display products on the home page. – Prospective

Follow-up question: Its working now but the problem now is when a customer click on the product displayed on the homepage it won't display the correct category it should belong to, and the breadcrumb also won't point to the correct category... How will I do it that it would correctly link to the product on the "correct category"? thanks! – Dizon

how would you do this for multiple categories, meaning if I wanted to included products from multiple categories on the homepage how would I specify that? I tried category_id="2,3,4" but that only showed products from category 2. – Lasala

Its working fine, but there is slight design issue bullet points are getting displayed for the products. Can someone help me out..? Thanks in advance.. – Harvestman

I also had to allow the block on System/Permissions/Blocks. – Dereism

This is the code for all products

{{widget type="catalog/product_widget_new" display_type="all_products" products_count="10" template="catalog/product/widget/new/content/new_grid.phtml"}}

Put it under >

Go to CMS > Manage pages > Edit 'Home page'

Navigate to content TAB > Click on Show Hide Editor

Put this above script

Or

Recently Viewd Products

{{widget type="reports/product_widget_viewed" page_size="5" template="reports/widget/viewed/content/viewed_grid.phtml"}}

Recently Compared Products

{{widget type="reports/product_widget_compared" page_size="5" template="reports/widget/compared/content/compared_grid.phtml"}}

Orders and returns

{{widget type="sales/widget_guest_form" template="sales/widget/guest/form.phtml"}}
