Featured Products

Products can be flagged as 'featured' in the CMS. These flagged products can then be presented in specific ways.

You may want to display a small set of featured products somewhere on your site, such as the home page. Here's how:

[mysite]/code/HomePage.php:

class HomePage extends ProductGroup{
    //...
}
class HomePage_Controller extends ProductGroup_Controller{
    
    /**
    * Get all products marked as featured that can be purchased.
    */
    function FeaturedProducts(){
        $filter = '"Featured" = 1 AND "AllowPurchase" = 1';
        return DataObject::get('Product',$filter);
    }
    
}

[mysite]/templates/Layout/HomePage.ss

<% if FeaturedProducts %>
    <div class="featuredproducts">
        <% control FeaturedProducts %>
            <% include ProductGroupItem %>
        <% end_control %>
    </div>
<% end_if %>
