While I am using the Tool Kit to display the best selling products of the whole store, and it's nice, but is there another way?

The trouble I have is that neither the product custom fields nor the product ratings/reviews (Sebenza) are available through this array. And I want 'em - I want to show the customer ratings and two of my custom prod fields.

On our home page I'm displaying "Most Popular Products" and it'd be really nice if this display would also show the additional information. Is there a solution out there?

Thanks,
Mark

You should be able to see both. For the custom product fields, see the function "custom" in the tool kit admin page. Change the variable to match the specific array variable you are using.

Okee dokee. My mistake. I'm familiar with the custom function, I guess I just didn't think of it.

I'll give that a try.

Thanks

bill,
would that be something like &mvt:bestsellers:code; for the bestseller product code?

Does your bestsellers from toolkit just grab all the normal product variables into the bestsellers array? I know it got the product image. Just wondering about the rest.

l.all_settings:bestsellroduct_id

name, code, thumbnail, image, product_id, counter, formatted price and cost

Smiley got in the way there:
l.all_settings:bestsell:product_id

And here's how I've been able to grab the custom fields in this best seller display:

<mvt:item name="toolkit" param="custom|list|l.all_settings:bestsell:product_id|reg_price" />
<mvt:if expr="g.list">
List Price: &mvte:global:list;
</mvt:if>

Thanks for the help, Bill

Those darn smiley faces. I wish this forum would get rid of them.

Say, another question. I'm trying to make a conditional statement now for disaplaying the custom field for 'regular price,' in case the selling price is not lower than the regular price (like if the product is on sale)

For instance:

<mvt:if expr="g.list GT l.all_settings:bestsell:formatted_price">

Is this not an appropriate comparison? My syntax wrong? g.list always displays now . . . even if that conditional should be canceling some out. You can see it here, mid way down: http://www.woodworkerssource.com/index.php Some products have an equal list price, but I'd think my conditional should be forcing those not to display. HMMMMMM

[wcw]

Formatted price is a text string (not a number). Hence g.list will always be greater. Use price.

Ahhhh right. I didn't notice that. Got it. Thank you.
