Display Bestsellers for Specific Magento Categories in CMS page.

Following tutorial,

https://mercytapscott.com/display-bestsellers-for-specific-magento-categories/

Added following line into cms content

{{block type="catalog/product_bestseller" template="catalog/product/bestseller.phtml" category_id="5"}}

Getting error.

My code :

app/code/local/Mage/Catalog/Block/Product/Bestseller.php app/design/frontend/default/theme/template/catalog/product/bestseller.phtml

If any configuration error or anything else?

error message : 

Fatal error: Call to a member function productAttribute() on null in /home/abc/public_html/app/design/frontend/default/theme/template/catalog/product/bestseller.phtml on line 6

  • please add code of block class and phtml – Pawan Dec 7 '19 at 6:27
  • @vishal's answer is correct – Pawan Dec 7 '19 at 6:43
  • @Pawan may i know why we need to declare $_helper = Mage::helper('catalog/output');? – zus Dec 7 '19 at 6:45

    because in your code you used <?php echo $_helper->productAttribute($_product, $_product->getName(), 'name') ?> but no where define $_helper! – Pawan Dec 7 '19 at 6:47

    you first need to create object by $_helper = Mage::helper('catalog/output'); before using it – Pawan Dec 7 '19 at 6:48

open below file and declare of helper after flush and check it.

app/design/frontend/default/theme/template/catalog/product/bestseller.phtml

$_helper = Mage::helper('catalog/output');

  • Where i can declare $_helper = Mage::helper('catalog/output'); in my code : paste.ofcode.org/UWGbrJwSLyWkehW7yQu5rn – zus Dec 7 '19 at 6:34
  • first line like <?php $_helper = Mage::helper('catalog/output'); ?> – Vishal Baraiya Dec 7 '19 at 6:35
  • can you check category_id 5 exits and assign product that category? – Vishal Baraiya Dec 7 '19 at 6:37
  • Yes, available.. – zus Dec 7 '19 at 6:40

    because you can call of productAttribute function before you need to declare where it is function. – Vishal Baraiya Dec 7 '19 at 6:47
