Here are some example code to explain my need. I need to extend the productlisttemplate with a special tag and call the getColors with the current productid. I there a way to do this?

public class ExtendColorsToProductListTemplate : ProductListTemplateExtender
    {
        public override void ExtendTemplate(Dynamicweb.Templatev2.Template template)
        {

            template.SetTag("Colors", getColors(?));
        }

  private string getColors(string productId)
  {
   //Based on some logic and the product id for the current product in the list, I need to get som information here......

  }
    }

I'm not sure I understand what you need.

If you need to extend the rendering of each product in your product list, you should use a ProductTemplateExtender.

If you actually need to extend the rendering of a separate product list on the same page as your current product, then you can get the ProductID from the querystring with Dynamicweb.Base.Request("ProductID")

It is the productlist I want to extend with my tag, so I think the ProductListTemplateExtender must be the one.

I try to explain it more clealy.

Im on a page with a groupid in the querystring. On the page all products in that group is listed. Foreach of the products I want to extend with my own tag. The content of that custom tag is specific for each of those products and thats why i need the productid.

Then I think you need to use a ProductTemplateExtender - it will be called for each product in the list.

It is a template extender for products (in whatever template they are rendered). It is not an extender only for the product details template.

Try this...

public override void ExtendTemplate(Dynamicweb.Templatev2.Template template)
{                      
    template.SetTag("Colors", getColors(Product.ID));
}
  
private string getColors(string productId)
{
    //Based on some logic and the product id for the current product in the list, I need to get som information here......   
}
