how to show wishlist products in homepage

Question

How to show wishlist products in magento's home page. Is there any way to bring it with custom block using static blocks.

Answer 1

In your CMS page "HomePage" add

{{block type="wishlist/customer_sidebar" name="wishlist_homepage" template="wishlist/sidebar.phtml"}}

Or add in the Layout Update XML

<reference name="content">
<block type="wishlist/customer_sidebar" name="wishlist_homepage" template="wishlist/sidebar.phtml" />
</reference>

Wishlist products are now in the HomePage.

If you want to change the look duplicate for example base/default/template/wishlist/sidebar.phtml to yourTheme/template/wishlist/sidebar.phtml and you are free to do what you want.

In case you want to remove wishlist products from sidebar, in yourTheme/layout/local.xml add :

<default>
    <reference name="right">
        <action method="unsetChild"><name>wishlist</name></action>
    </reference>
</default>
