Display category products on homepage using carousel slider

Question

I am able to display products from specific categories on homepage using duplicate copies of list.phtml and with the help of this code.

It just displaying flat 4 products but I want to display more products using slider and column_count = 4

{{block type="catalog/product_list" column_count="4" category_id="3" template="catalog/product/list-officestationery.phtml"}}

Answer 1

Block shortcode should have an option to specify products count. Usually it is product_count

Try to update code to

{{block type="catalog/product_list" column_count="4" category_id="3" product_count="12" template="catalog/product/list-officestationery.phtml"}}

Please note that chosen category should contain enough products.
