Preparation Checklist

Before you start this tweak, it's a good idea to run through our preparation checklist below:

• Read through the Getting Started to get a better sense of how the Control Panel, Database and Front End store interact.
• Learn our recommended Simple Workflow. This makes the implementation process as easy as possible.
• Create a new Staging Theme for this tweak. This allows you to preview any changes before they are visible to live customers.

Coding Instructions

Step 1: Duplicate the category template

Duplicate the existing category.template.html file within /httpdocs/assets/themes/[THEME-NAME]/templates/cms and rename it to popular_products.template.html.

Step 2: Edit the page type

At the head of your template, update [%SET [@page_type@]='category'/%] to [%SET [@page_type@]='popular_products'/%].

Step 3: Add the code into the template

Paste the following code into the template replacing the thumb_list function.

[%thumb_list type:'products' filter_category:'0' sortby:'top_sellers' limit:'24' %]
    [%param template%][%VIEWBY type:'products' default:'[@templatethumb@]'%][%/VIEWBY%][%/param%]
    [%param *header%]
        <div class="[%VIEWBY type:'products' if:'eq' value:'list' if_true:'thumb_list' if_false:'thumb'%][%/VIEWBY%]">
            <section class="row products-row" aria-label="Products in category">
    [%/param%]
    [%param *footer%]
            </section>
        </div>
    [%/param%]
[%/thumb_list%]

Step 4: Create a Popular Products page

Create an information page named Popular Products, and set the "Body Template" to popular_products.
