Duplicate products


Reply
Hi Chaps,
I was wondering if I can duplicate products on my e-commerce solution. In other words say we have 'Product XYZ' and I want to display it on XYZ, ABC and DEF categories.
Of course technically it works and it's all fine and they are displayable. Although what I have problem with is:

- breadcrumbs won't display path to the product
- the new SEO module that optimize the site with a new Friendly URL bit, doesn't seem to work, I mean it does display in a URL bar the group name but won't display product name...

So do you think the reason of the above issues might be duplicated products in main categories? Or I'm wrong and I should be looking in to something completely different because I should be able to duplicate the same product / show it in more than 1 main category..?

Let me know.
Thanks in advance,
Marek

Hi Marek, you don't need to duplicate products because both of your problems can be resolved w/o duplicating. 

1. Breadcrumbs. For this issue you have to use "Ecom navigation". You can find a lot of posts in this forum http://engage.dynamicweb-cms.com/Default.aspx?ID=5&q=ecom+navigation   

For example: http://engage.dynamicweb-cms.com/Forum-5.aspx?action=ShowThread&ThreadID=2141  

2. Friendly URL. It's configurable.

Go please to Management Center --> Web and Http --> Customized URLs. Go to section "Internal links" and check both menu under subsection "eCommerce products".
