I\'d like to get a list of random products from the same category as the current product for displaying within the product view - so far all I\'ve dug up is

Magento

Answer 1

$products = Mage::getModel('catalog/category')->load(category_id); //put your category id here
       $productslist = $products->getProductCollection()->addAttributeToSelect('*');
       foreach($productslist as $product)
       {
        echo 'price: ' . $product->getPrice() . '
';
       }

This is the by far the convenient code in order to fetch product details of perticular category.Hope it helps you.
