How can I call a widget that displays product from a specific category in a phtml file?
Currently I can only display "all_products" in my phtml file like that:
echo $this->getLayout()->createBlock("Magento\Catalog\Block\Product\Widget\NewWidget")- >setDisplayType("all_products")->setProductsCount("5")- >setTemplate("product/widget/new/content/new_grid.phtml")->toHtml();
How to do this with products from specific category and not all products?
You can create it programmatically as follows:
echo $productsBlock = $this->getLayout()->createBlock(\Magento\CatalogWidget\Block\Product\ProductsList::class) ->setTitle("Featured Products") ->setProductsCount(10) ->setTemplate("product/widget/content/grid.phtml") ->setConditionsEncoded("a:2:[i:1;a:4:[s:4:`type`;s:50:`Magento|CatalogWidget|Model|Rule|Condition|Combine`;s:10:`aggregator`;s:3:`all`;s:5:`value`;s:1:`1`;s:9:`new_child`;s:0:``;]s:4:`1--1`;a:4:[s:4:`type`;s:50:`Magento|CatalogWidget|Model|Rule|Condition|Product`;s:9:`attribute`;s:12:`category_ids`;s:8:`operator`;s:2:`==`;s:5:`value`;s:2:`16`;]]"); ->toHtml();
