As a Magento programmer, sometimes we need to show random products in Magento. Here in this post I have provide you with simple Magento code for displaying random products within Magento template.

Below code will get random product using order(‘rand()’) and set product collection.

view plaincopy to clipboardprint?
  1. <?php
  3. $collection = Mage::getResourceModel(‘catalog/product_collection’);
  4. Mage::getModel(‘catalog/layer’)->prepareProductCollection($collection);
  5. $collection->getSelect()->order(‘rand()’);
  6. $collection->addStoreFilter();
  7. $this->setProductCollection($collection);
  8. return parent::_beforeToHtml();
  10. ?>

Below code will be written in Magento template file for getting product collection

view plaincopy to clipboardprint?
  1. if (($_products = $this->getProductCollection())):
  2. echo $_product->getSku();
  3. endif;

Hope it will work for you.
