Hi,

When the user searches for a specific product, he ends up with the result list. This is fine, but when you then click on a product it's still displayed on the search list page-id. I would like it to jump to the page where the group, which the product belongs to, is presented, and use this for the presentation. This will give the user a better understanding of where in the site-tree he is.

Therefore I have made a Custom Group Field, telling the group which PageID it's presented on.

BUT I can't figure out how to get my hands on this value in my Product list template...

Are we talking template extenders or what they are called in other posts??

I'm trying to get my href on the product to look like this:

"&ProductID=PROD122"

where &ProductID=PROD122"

where  -> will be Default.aspx?ID=XXX  

Sorry but... MEGA BUMP!

I'm looking for a solution to the exact same issue.

Give us our fix dw-dev-dudes! We know you got the dope!

It surprises me that no one experienced a need for this functionality. 

My issue is:

I have some products in a flash-application. These products have a "show detailed information"-link. My only solution to my problem at the moment, is creating a hardcoded link to a defined productview-page. Lot of maintenance involved here!

A product-customfield with a link, to the before mentioned productview-page, would be overkill considering i have 12 language variations = 12 page variations for each product. Now multiply this by 400 and guess how much i can manage to mess up before it works. ...'till next productupdate.

What i'm thinking is:

I made a link custom groupfield for displaying the (top-)groups at defined pages. If only the product could read this customfield and by some link-manipulation send it the same way. This wouldn't even solve my problem completely - but a step in the right direction.

Weird way these replies are listed...

Well... i found a solution - can be used with related products also.

made a "landing page" for the products found with search.

On this page i only have assigned a custom productview template only containing the following script:

%script language="javascript"%

var prodID = "%!--@Ecom:Product.Link.Clean--%"; 

var remove = prodID.split("&");

%!--@LoopStart(AssociatedGroups)--%

var group = "%!--@Ecom:Group:Field.showGroup.Value.Clean--%";

%!--@LoopEnd(AssociatedGroups)--%

window.location = "/"+group+"&"+remove[1];

%/script%

Just replace % with <> as suited.
