Magento – Magento New Products Widget Pagination not working

ce-1.9.0.1widget

I am in Magento 1.9 and have added the New Products Widget to my homepage;

{{widget type="catalog/product_widget_new" display_type="new_products" show_pager="1" products_per_page="2" products_count="10" template="catalog/product/widget/new/content/new_grid.phtml"}}

Now even though I have choosen to only show 2 products per page and to display pagination all of the products just display and there is no pagination displayed anywhere?

This might help you, Add following code in Layout XML:

<reference name="content">
    <block type="catalog/product_list" name="product_list" template="catalog/product/list.phtml">
        <action method="setCategoryId"><category_id>3</category_id></action>
        <action method="setColumnCount"><columns>3</columns></action>
        <block type="catalog/product_list_toolbar" name="product_list_toolbar" template="catalog/product/list/toolbar.phtml">
            <block type="page/html_pager" name="product_list_toolbar_pager"/>
        </block>
        <action method="addColumnCountLayoutDepend"><layout>empty</layout><count>6</count></action>
        <action method="addColumnCountLayoutDepend"><layout>one_column</layout><count>5</count></action>
        <action method="addColumnCountLayoutDepend"><layout>two_columns_left</layout><count>4</count></action>
        <action method="addColumnCountLayoutDepend"><layout>two_columns_right</layout><count>4</count></action>
        <action method="addColumnCountLayoutDepend"><layout>three_columns</layout><count>3</count></action>
        <action method="setToolbarBlockName"><name>product_list_toolbar</name></action>
    </block>

Widget – Calling a Template from Within a Widget in Magento

Take a look at http://www.magentocommerce.com/knowledge-base/entry/tutorial-creating-a-magento-widget-part-1

interface Mage_Widget_Block_Interface
{
    public function toHtml();

    public function addData(array $arr);

    public function setData($key, $value = null);
}

Since both Mage_Widget_Block_Interface and Mage_Core_Block_Abstract don't seem to have a implement setTemplate method try

class Sample_WidgetOne_Block_Digg
    extends Mage_Core_Block_Abstract
    implements Mage_Widget_Block_Interface
{

    /**
     * Produces digg link html
     *
     * @return string
     */
    protected function _toHtml()
    {
        return Mage::getSingleton('core/layout')->createBlock('core/template')->setTemplate('path/to/file.phtml')->toHtml();;
    }

}

Instead of using the above method, I try this which is much better. I added this code to Layout Update XML.

<reference name="left">
   <block type="cms/block" name="Vaf Search">
    <action method="setBlockId"><block_id>vaf_search</block_id></action>
   </block>
            <block type="catalog/layer_view" name="catalog.leftnav" after="currency" template="catalog/layer/view.phtml">
                <block type="core/text_list" name="catalog.leftnav.state.renderers" as="state_renderers" />
            </block>
   <block type="cms/block" name="New Products" >
    <action method="setBlockId"><block_id>new_products</block_id></action>
   </block>
        </reference>
<reference name="content">
 <block type="page/html_wrapper" name="product.wrapper" translate="label">
  <block type="catalog/product_list" name="product_list" template="catalog/product/list.phtml">
   <block type="catalog/product_list_toolbar" name="product_list_toolbar" template="catalog/product/list/toolbar.phtml">
    <block type="page/html_pager" name="product_list_toolbar_pager" />
   </block>
   <action method="setToolbarBlockName"><name>product_list_toolbar</name></action>
  </block>
 </block>

It allows to make the CMS to display all products.

I hope this help. If there is much convenient and much better just feel free to post.

Great thanks.
