I used this to create a random product display in the sidebar. Works really nice, just needed some tiny changes to make it work in a multiple language website. Thanks for the code !

It's basically a tweak of the above code. Inserted a 'foreach' call after the beginning of the unordered list and ended it directly after the end. I now have all items in a 'featured' category listed in the sidebar (currently 5 items but can be more or less). <code> addAttributeToSelect(array('name', 'price', 'small_image'), 'inner') ->addCategoryFilter(Mage::getModel('catalog/category')->load($category_id)); ?> count()): ?> <strong>Featured Products</strong> <a href="getProductUrl() ?>" title="htmlEscape($this->getImageLabel($_product, 'small_image')) ?>">htmlEscape($_product->getName())?></a> <span class="view-item-button" href="getProductUrl() ?>" title="htmlEscape($_product->getName()) ?>">View Item <a href="getProductUrl() ?>" title="htmlEscape($this->getImageLabel($_product, 'small_image')) ?>"> <img class="product-image" src="helper('catalog/image')->init($_product, 'small_image')->resize(50, 50); ?>" alt="htmlEscape($this->getImageLabel($_product, 'small_image')) ?>" title="htmlEscape($this->getImageLabel($_product, 'small_image')) ?>" /> </a> </code> Worked it out.

I have a featured product promotion working for my homepage (I disabled the random aspect). However, I would like to show multiple products from the same category but can't work out how to tweak the code to make this happen. Is there an easy fix? Thanks once again for the above code.
