The support for this is already in the API. You just need to pass some valid CategoryId to the method instead of 0. For this you just need to modify the ConLib/FeaturedProductsGrid.ascx.cs file change the following line of code

Code: Select all

ProductList.DataSource = ProductDataSource.GetRandomFeaturedProducts(0, true, this.Size);
For example if you are picking the CategoryId from the URL and the control is placed over the category page then you can change the above line as

Code: Select all

int cid = PageHelper.GetCategoryId();
ProductList.DataSource = ProductDataSource.GetRandomFeaturedProducts(cid, true, this.Size);
