I am trying to figure out a way to generate a list of products from a specific category on the home page. I want to use something similar to the Featured Module or the Latest Module but be able to pick the products to be shown by their category. I am currently using the Featured Module but I have to manually enter each Product into the module.
Is there an extension or a way to modify an existing module so that I can select a category and have the products display in a similar way.
Thanks in advance for any ideas or help.

Go and install modules that can display products by categories. You can download them from the opencart website

I'm wondering whether anyone has come across the following issue. We're currently working on a Sitecore website that uses integrated uCommerce to provide eCommerce functionalty.
Rather than passing category and product ids to a static url that maps directly to an item in the sitecore content tree e.g.
domain.com/category/?category=123
domain.com/category/product/?product=321
We want to be able to have URL's like follows:
domain.com/category-name/product-name
Generating this url shouldn't be too difficult if we use IUrlService provided by uCommerce.
Is there an easy solution to get these sort of URL's to map to a particular item in the Sitecore content tree and ensure the uCommerce context is updated accordingly?
Thanks in advance for any help received.
I am using the Sitecore Commerce Connect framework and am using wildcard URLs for my products and categories. Since my products often appear in several categories, I have kept the structure of having separate URLs for products and categories to make sure that the URL for the product is not repeated if it appears under several categories.
Home/product/* is my the wildcard item for products
Home/category/* is the wildcard item for my categories
The wildcard manager will then allow me to render the product and category pages based on those pages where I just resolve the item in Commerce connect by the information provided in the URL.
The custom LinkManager will then provide the references to the correct URL when fetching a link for and item and it will not risk having the URL changed if I do changes to the category structure or add it in several categories.
I have a spreadsheet with product data I want to load into Big Cartel. I have tried to look for an API but found none. How do I do this? Thanks.
There's not currently a way to import products or product details to Big Cartel -- all of that information needs to be added manually in the admin.
I am using Virtuemart 2 and Joomla 2.5 . i have assigned slideshow module in home page, but slide show module is displayed in Cart Page too. I'm much confused and I have no idea to solve it.
Like Shairya said, modules depend on the item ID to determine if they need to display or not. If a page in Joomla does not have a corresponding menu item, then it will inherit the item ID from the page that linked to it. You can do a couple of things to fix your issue. First, you can make a new menu and create a menu item for the VM cart. You don't have to put the menu in a module, it does not need to display for it to work.
You can also install Advanced Module Manager and use the Display on Home Page filter for the slideshow. AMM will not display modules on a page that inherits the home page item ID if you use this filter.
I have assigned some featured products in my homepage and somehow the link to product is different from that of my menu.
For example:
From menu:
http://www.example.com/store/products/littleshirt
From featured products section:
http://www.example.com/store/littleshirt
I am using opencart extension menu but I don't supposed that is the source of this problem.
I need the URL to point to same location as the url for featured product link to the product nicely but the side product menu only display parent categories.
Is there anyway to resolve this?
The "OpenCart Featured Products and News" Module is a jquery based open cart module which is shows the Selected Featured Products and/or News or relevant posts
OpenCart featured products and news is useful and has a nice plugin.

Known problem for me. Using canonicals referencing the desired URL for these duplicates is sort of a solution for this problem. For example:
http://www.example.com/store/littleshirt
contains a canonical to the desired URL:
http://www.example.com/store/products/littleshirt
This will prefent search engines from indexing/crawling the duplicate page and your correct/desired page from losing metrics.
p.s. I had to change the URL's to example.com for my post to get through.
I am implementing an e-commerce website using django. The product catalog will be big (hundreds of products). I would like to know how I should implement product filters in search.
E.g. let's say I put up about 30 products initially. The user might want to filter the search based on some product attributes like color, size, category, etc.
Is there any feature in django that enables building such features? If not, how should I go about it? Is querying the database everytime the user picks an attribute, the only approach?
Thanks.
I think you are looking for a faceted search.
Haystack should be the django app you are looking for.
Furthermore you could take a look at django-filter
