   Great information!
   But, could you write the code for the Homepage? It’s not readable on the video.

   I am in the process of switching from osCommerce to Magento, and I watched your video. Great stuff, I just couldn’t see the code you placed on the home page. I have this code on it now and it still doesn’t work
   Soundoc Store
   {{block type=”catalog/product_list” category_id=”3″ template=”catalog/product/list_homepage.phtml”}}

   Help!!

   but how to control the number of products display in row and column? Say I want to have 8 new products to display at the main page, with 4 products in a row in 2 columns, is that possible?

   Hi, everyone, I’m new to Magento, I’ve tried the tutorial above but my homepage says “There are no products matching the selection.”, does it work for all versions? Mine is 1.3.2.2

   Thanks in advance!

   I followed every step and can’t get my home page to display a product.
   http://store.amps211.com/

   This is just a test server. I can search for products and find them but I can’t get them to display on the home page.

   Any suggestions? I tried the code Jeremy & Mike’s T Shirt Shop
   {{block type=”catalog/product_list” category_id=”5″ template=”catalog/product/list.phtml” }} With category_id= 1, 2, 3, 4 and five with no luck.

    If you get the error “There are no products matching the selection”, make sure that you create some product categories underneath the top “default” category.

    How to display product in more than one category?

    How to manage a single home page for different website with different product?

    Thanks a lot! You’ve saved me from going mad

    This code:
    {{block type=”catalog/product_list” name=”home.catalog.product.list” alias=”products_homepage” template=”catalog/product/list.phtml”}}

    ONLY works if products have the root category selected, not just their own. So now I have to set the root category for every product? SOOO lame. There has to be an easier way. Running 1.3.2.4

14. Gareth O Neill on May 19th, 2010

    There has to be something related to number of columns per line that you can add to {{block type=”catalog/product_list” category_id=”xx”
    so that you can show 4 products per line instead of just 3.#

    Does anyone know how to do it?

15. Wim Vinkema on December 14th, 2010

    Yeah,

    Why isnt there a normal API?

    say showProducts($caterories=array,$amount,$sort,$x=null,$y=null) ??????

    wdf where they thinking. Ow wait magento does have its own api. But since i implemented the entire thing in an cms its seems kinda stupid to use that api. ok need 1 abstraction layer anyway. But I really dont get it why this would ber handy. Porting magento is now a pain thx to the block system.

    I installed sample data from magentocommerce.
    There is some problem, on the navigation bar when we click on any last node category then it will says “There are no products matching the selection”.

    Please tell why the products are not showing while there are products added in database and showing in admin section?

18. ravindra on June 15th, 2011

    thanks a lot. it helped.. specially adding to website, inventory settings and category block in homepage html..

19. Rich on June 29th, 2011

    Just change you line to teh following:

    {{block type=”catalog/product_list” category_id=”5″ template=”catalog/product/list.phtml” columnCount=”4″}}

    Changing the columnCount=”4″ to how ever many products you want on one line.
