Custom Product Pages

[wilhud]

I'm not sure if this has been answered before. Tried searching but wasn't really sure what it would be called. Here's basically what I'm trying to find out...

Is there a simple way to build a page where it shows a list of products that I custom choose? Examples would be a New Items Page (List of all Items added in the past month or even the last X number of items added), Best Sellers Page (Top X number of items sold in the store), Sale Items Page (List of all items where price is lower than MSRP value), Price Range Page (List of all items inside a specified price range, i.e. $0-$20).

I can build these things from scratch, if needed, but was just curious if there was some pre-existing page or code that was already integrated that I could use as a starting point. The software is quite robust, I'm really liking it a lot...it's just going to take me a while to familiarize myself with all of the parts. I've already customized so much in a short period of time and it's fairly simple to do.

Thanks!

You can do that buy using the ProductDataSource.LoadForCriteria() with parameters.
Here is one I did for new products using a copy of the featured products conlib for display

I used this:
ProductList.DataSource=ProductDataSource.LoadForCriteria("DisablePurchase='0' and VisibilityId=0", 30, 0, "CreatedDate DESC");

instead of this:
ProductList.DataSource = ProductDataSource.GetRandomFeaturedProducts(0, true, this.Size);

Very Cool! Sounds like exactly what I need.
Thank you Judy, I will check that out today.

Worked great! I used your code for the new items section and also used the code from the PopularProducts dialog to get a best sellers page...

ProductList.DataSource = ProductDataSource.GetPopularProducts(30);

Seems to be working as expected. I'll have to play around with the other pages, but these two were the main ones I wanted to get up.

Thanks again for the help!
