$collection = Mage::getModel('catalog/product_compare_list')->getCollection()->load(); foreach($collection as $product) { echo $product->getId().'<Br />'; } 

any suggestions where is the problem? thanks

Answer 1

Try using the getItems() method to compare the list of blocks (Mage_Catalog_Block_Product_Compare_List):

 $collection = $this->getLayout()->createBlock('catalog/product_compare_list')->getItems(); foreach($collection as $product) { echo $product->getId().'<Br />'; } 

Answer 2

 $collection = Mage::getModel('catalog/product_compare_list')->getCollection(); foreach($collection as $product) { echo $product->getId().'<Br />'; } 

Answer 3

Use this code:

 $collection = Mage::getModel('catalog/product_compare_list')->getItemCollection(); foreach($collection as $product) { echo $product->getId().'<Br />'; } 

That should work.
