Prestashop display all products form category without pagination - categories

Question

I am building a Module for the category page in prestashop.
Basically in my module.php I have this code:
$category = new Category(Context::getContext()->shop->getCategory(),(int)Context::getContext()->language->id);
$nb = (int)(Configuration::get('MOD_NBR'));
$products = $category->getProducts((int)Context::getContext()->language->id, 1, ($nb ? $nb : 10));
$this->smarty->assign(array(
'myproducts' => $products,
'add_prod_display' => Configuration::get('PS_ATTRIBUTE_CATEGORY_DISPLAY'),
'homeSize' => Image::getSize(ImageType::getFormatedName('home')),
));
Then in mymodule.tpl I have this:
{foreach from=$products item=product name=myproducts}
+ other stuff
The problem is that I need to get all the products inside the category, but it is only displaying the products on the first page. I can't delete or modify pagination completely, because I need the other products on the category page to be paginated, but in my module I want to get all the products at once (after I will filter them to show only some of them).
As you may see I am kind of lost, but also so desperate, I will appreciate any guidance :)
thanks

Answer 1

In your code you have:
$products = $category->getProducts((int)Context::getContext()->language->id, 1, ($nb ? $nb : 10));
which corresponds to:
/**
* Return current category products
*
* #param integer $id_lang Language ID
* #param integer $p Page number
* #param integer $n Number of products per page
* #param boolean $get_total return the number of results instead of the results themself
* #param boolean $active return only active products
* #param boolean $random active a random filter for returned products
* #param int $random_number_products number of products to return if random is activated
* #param boolean $check_access set to false to return all products (even if customer hasn't access)
* #return mixed Products or number of products
*/
public function getProducts($id_lang, $p, $n, $order_by = null, $order_way = null, $get_total = false, $active = true, $random = false, $random_number_products = 1, $check_access = true, Context $context = null)
So you are asking for page 1 and $nb or 10 elements.
Try adding before that line $nb = 10000; to show up to 10k products (and feel free to increase it if your category has more than 10k products)
So it should be something like:
$category = new Category(Context::getContext()->shop->getCategory(),(int)Context::getContext()->language->id);
$nb = 10000;
$products = $category->getProducts((int)Context::getContext()->language->id, 1, ($nb ? $nb : 10));
$this->smarty->assign(array(
'myproducts' => $products,
'add_prod_display' => Configuration::get('PS_ATTRIBUTE_CATEGORY_DISPLAY'),
'homeSize' => Image::getSize(ImageType::getFormatedName('home')),
));
UPDATE: Reviewing your question I've found that in your template you are iterating $products variable, but assigning it as myproducts. I'm guessing smarty has the assigned variables $products with only the first page and $myproducts with the ones you have obtained.
Try updating your template to:
{foreach from=$myproducts item=product name=myproducts}
