Show popular items based on a specific category?

[John Clyde Ap_a]

I wanted to only show the popular items based on a specific category

For this example, when the page loads, it'll only show the popular items for the category Cafe Drinks.

Hi you need to clone SC Popular Items widget and need to add a line to query your item cateogories under server script .

add the below line in server script

count.addEncodedQuery('cat_item.category=e15706fc0a0a0aa7007fc21e1ab70c2f');// add here by filtering your category by going to sc_req_item list . Refer Screenshot

And then add your cloned widget by going to page designer and remove the OOB widget

Hi Harish,

I apologize for the trouble but I cannot seem to find the Item category in the filter.

Hi make sure you have submitted few requests for your catalog item. Then only you can have a filter. Popular items basically will see how many request items have been submitted for same item

Or you can add like this as well

count.addQuery('cat_item.category','SYSID of Category'); //instead of addEncodedQuery
