Only 5 products of homepage of VM

[sky_rb]

Hi everyone,

I'm using virtuemart 2.0.2 and Joomla 1.5.11

My problem is that on the homepage of VirtueMart I want to show the Top Ten Products or the Featured Products,... but whatever I do, it only shows 5 products. Even when the Featured products or Top Ten Products have more then 5 items.
I first thought it might be the "Max products per view in frontend" in the Configuration>Shopfront, but it's set to 30 and it doesn't change anything.

Anyone have an idea what to do to fix this?

Thank you!

Hi,
did you solve it? I also want to display more products on my fronpage, but I don't know how to do it.

Greetings,

Well, I just got it!!

Go to the file:
/components/com_virtuemart/views/virtuemart/view.html.php

You will see a hard coded "5" on each function call like
$products['latest']= $productModel->getProductListing('latest', 5);

Just change the 5 with the number of products you need to show.

It works very well!
A thousand thanks!

Updating VM to 2.0.8e I get lost the modify, obviously. So, why to keep that value hardcoded in unoverridable file?

Sad

Devs, please include this parameter in backend config. VM 2.0.10 still lacks this option.
Also, it would be great to set a separate path for IMAGES assets of VM in order to better styling.

Well, I don't know if I did get something wrong, but I can chose number of shown products in all of the mentioned modules in the backend by default throughout all Versions from 2.0.6 to 2.0.10

Go to:
Extensions -> Modules
chose for example VM-featured products module and there you can set the number of shown items and items per row.

We're not talking about modules. It's about home VM's home page.
