I am using a module that displays new added products in home page. I need to customize the module so that this list doesnt contain products sold. In other words, if a product is out of stock before the number of days it is condidered new is over, then do not show this product in list.
I can do it in view part by using {if $product.quantity < 0}{/if}
but my goal is to perform it in controller. Here is my code:
function hookHome($params)
{
global $smarty, $cookie;
$nb = intval(Configuration::get('HOME_NEW_PRODUCTS_NBR'));
$rand = intval(Configuration::get('HOME_NEW_PRODUCTS_RANDOM'));
if ($rand == 1) {
$products = Product::getNewProducts(intval($cookie->id_lang), 0, $nb);
if ( $products )
{
shuffle($products);
array_slice($products, ($nb ? $nb : 10));
}
}
else
{
$products = Product::getNewProducts(intval($cookie->id_lang), NULL - 0, (intval($nb ? $nb : 4)), false, NULL, NULL);
}
$smarty->assign(array(
....
'products' => $products,
....
);
return $this->display(__FILE__, 'homenewproducts.tpl');
}
How can I override the class Product
so that the method getNewProducts
take into account excluding products out of stock?
Or at least, how can I remove from $products
the products with quantity =0 using PHP?
Your help is appreciated.
