Guys what am I doing wrong?

Question 1
My bestseller is only showing 3 items but Have tried

orsortby=13
crosssellsectionmax=25

In the includes
and
<%
orsortby=13
crosssellsectionmax=9
%>

directly in page.

Question 2.
I want to show some random products from a particular category. How can I do this? With inccrosssell?

Question 3
This was asked kind of and I never really got an answer. Has anyone used crosssell in a carousel? If so which one? As the one I did have things working with until upgrade always had 3 non existent products in the beginning.

Hi Paul
There's a tweak here to show best sellers per category https://www.ecommercetemplates.com/help/home-page-display.asp#tweaks

There's no feature to have the cross selling in a carousel.

I don't believe there is a feature to set the number of best selling products that should display.

Hey Andy

For number of best selling products
https://www.ecommercetemplates.com/help/home-page-display.asp

at the bottom of page. But I cant get it to work

Paul

That's for recommended products only I believe

From Version 6.6 it is possible to define how many recommended products you want to display regardless of the number of products checked in the product admin page and to randomize the products shown if required.

Hey Andy,

That only works for bestsellers which I figure is some algorithm somewhere. I want to show products from a specific category e.g. Latest Items.

I vaguely remember this used to be possible. Maybe its been depreciated over the years.

Is this a possibly something else to write from scratch again?

Paul

Ok so the solution to this is as follows

The best seller products shown is related to this line in the includes file.

productcolumns=

So I want 5 products shown thus entered 5 on the end of this.

BE WARNED if you are not using usecsslayout=true this will modify your products page.

In my case I am so this was the fix I needed.

Paul

Sorry, I had forgotten about the cross sell columns setting. So this is what I have to display 9 best selling products on the home page

<%
crosssellaction="bestsellers"
crosssellcolumns=9
orsortby=13
csproductpagelayout="productimage,productname,description,instock,reviewstars,price,listprice,currency,detaillink,quickbuy"
%>
