I'm looking for a possibility to get the most sold product by category to show it in a specific part of the navigation. To show the product(s) isn't the problem but getting them. I already did a intensive search through Google with different keywords but all I got were outdated plugins, modifications for bestseller.phtml (which doesn't exit in Magento 1.7 anymore) and setting filters on the resource model but I haven't found anymore which got me any result. So I tried to get the products by myself (so far, it just should get the sales of any product, not the best one): <pre><code>$category->getId(); $children = $category->getChildren(); foreach($children as $child) { $childCategoryIdString = $child->getId(); $childCategoryId = substr($childCategoryIdString, 14); $childCategory = Mage::getModel('catalog/category') ->load($childCategoryId); $productCollection = Mage::getModel('catalog/product') ->getCollection() ->addCategoryFilter($childCategory) ->load(); $allIds = $productCollection->getAllIds(); for($i = 0; $i < count($allIds); $i++) { $product = Mage::getModel('catalog/product')->load($allIds[$i]); echo $product->getOrderedQty() . '_'; } } </code></pre> This has two issues: First it's making Magento yet slower. Second <code>$product->getOrderedQty()</code>, a method I have found in various results of my search, doesn't work. Now I don't really know what else I could try and looking for some help which is highly appreciated. Thanks!

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
