Magento - Listing Bestseller products on a full page loads only 3 products

Question

Trying to loading the Bestsellers, but this script loads me only 3 products, no matter what i do, can anyone give me a hint so i can display at least 16 products?

The problem here is with the $_productCollection = $this->getProductCollection(); function, when i count it, it is receiving only 3 products, how can i change it so i can receivei more products through this function?

<?php 
// You can pass a $totalToFetch parametar to the fetchBestsellers()
// $_productCollection = $this->fetchBestsellers(5);
$_productCollection = $this->getProductCollection();
?>






<?php if(!$_productCollection->count()): ?>

<p class="note-msg"><?php echo $this->__('There are no products matching the selection.') ?></p>
<?php else: ?>


    <div class="title-list-product"><h1><?php echo $this->__('MAIS VENDIDOS')?></h1></div>

replaced the $_productCollection = $this->getProductCollection(); function

for this:

$visibility = array(
                      Mage_Catalog_Model_Product_Visibility::VISIBILITY_BOTH,
                      Mage_Catalog_Model_Product_Visibility::VISIBILITY_IN_CATALOG
                  );

$_productCollection = Mage::getResourceModel('reports/product_collection')
                              ->addAttributeToSelect('*')
                              ->addOrderedQty()
                              ->addAttributeToFilter('visibility', $visibility)
                              ->addAttributeToFilter('status', array('eq' => Mage_Catalog_Model_Product_Status::STATUS_ENABLED))
                              ->setOrder('ordered_qty', 'desc');

now i am getting all my bestseller products. tks anyway guys

Answer 2

Have you tried re-indexing your product data in order to keep up with the product changes? Magento does a lot of caching and indexing for performance.

Try going into the Admin area, go to System->Index Management and check if any have a red "Reindex Required" status. You'll have to re-index the data by clicking the links next to them, in particular the "Category Products" data.

Checkout XML where you define this block. I guess there is some limit param set or not set, and default is 3. OR you should directly check block which returns you product collection.

In 1.6 I didn't found standard bestsellers block,so it must be some custom module or something like that?
