重用Magento产品列表块 - 自定义集合

Question

I want to use the default magento product list block and template but use it with my own custom product collection.

The collection is not part of a category, but a collection that is being created by my own module.

how do i tie the two up?

Answer 1

You need to create your own block class, inheriting from Mage_Catalog_Block_Product_List, and to override at least its _getProductCollection() method, to make it load your collection.

And regarding the template, you can assign the default one to your block in your layout definition.
