magento same category products thumbnails

Question

I have 3 products in the same categoy
I'm trying to display same category products thumbnails in magento catalog/product/view.phtml

<?php
    $productCollection = Mage::getModel('catalog/category')->load($cat_id)
         ->getProductCollection()
         ->addAttributeToSelect('*')
         ->addAttributeToFilter('status', 1);

    $prodIds = $productCollection->getAllIds();

    $prod_siblings = array();
    foreach($prodIds as $productId) 
    {
        $prod =  Mage::getModel('catalog/product')->load($productId);
        $prod_siblings[] = array(
            'url' => $prod->getProductUrl(),
            'name' => $prod->getName(),
            'image' => $this->helper('catalog/image')->init($prod, 'thumbnail')->constrainOnly(TRUE)->keepAspectRatio(TRUE)->keepFrame(FALSE)->resize(75)
            );
    }
?>

with this code, the 3 $prod_siblings have their own name and url (stored in the array), but they are all sharing the same image (the image of the last created product).

Try storing product details in an array n den whole arrays in your $prod_siblings. This will look like this:

?php
$productCollection = Mage::getModel('catalog/category')->load($cat_id)
     ->getProductCollection()
     ->addAttributeToSelect('*')
     ->addAttributeToFilter('status', 1);

$prodIds = $productCollection->getAllIds();

$prod_siblings = array();
foreach($prodIds as $productId) 
{
    $prod =  Mage::getModel('catalog/product')->load($productId);
    $product_detail[] = array(
        'url' => $prod->getProductUrl(),
        'name' => $prod->getName(),
        'image' => $this->helper('catalog/image')->init($prod, 'thumbnail')->constrainOnly(TRUE)->keepAspectRatio(TRUE)->keepFrame(FALSE)->resize(75)
        );  array_push($prod_siblings,$product_detail[]);
}?>

Hope this will help you.

Put $product_detail = array() instead of $product_detail[] = array() and array_push($prod_siblings,$product_detail); instead of array_push($prod_siblings,$product_detail[]);try.. — ANKIT, Apr 03 '13 at 13:22

Got it !

found my answer here : How to get a product's image in Magento?

used (string)Mage::helper('catalog/image')->init($prod, 'thumbnail')...

instead of $this->helper('catalog/image')->init($prod, 'thumbnail')...
