Hello DW,

As you have standard installation of DW7, you have products that are located in the groups.
Eventually you can include those groups in navigation and do all different things with it.

I was wondering, if there is a possibility to add a Category to the product. So that you could use category in simmilar way to Group (include in menues or call with direct link etc...).

Is it something supported out of the box in eCom?

Regards,
Dmitrij

Hi Dmitrij!
I'm sorry, but there is no such functionality..
Product Categories are not used to arrange products, only for arranging  of additional fields for products

Kind regards,
Vladimir

Hello Vladimir,

Thanks for quick response :-)

So as I understand that is not really available in DW7 on standard solutions?

Than maybe there is a way to include some of those additional fields (lets say categories) in the navigation somehow, for example extract values from nodes in xslt or somehow?
And what could you suggest doing if you would need to achieve something like this.

Kind regards,
Dmitrij

I think that you should to implement a Dynamicweb.Frontend.NavigationProviders.NavigationProvider for that :)

Hello again Vladimir,
I have one more thing here, as I'v done how you told in the answer previously (with the navigation), I am now am having situation like (see the attachment). And it looks like breadcrumb takes all the groups as part of navigation. Maybe you could give me some hints how to get around this one, or maybe you might have an xslt file that fits just this situation?

Thanks alot for the help :)

Regards,
Dmitrij

Hello )
hmm... I would,  probably, help more, if you show me received navigation xml (use &SaveXML=true for that) ... but generally, I think the simplest way, change breadcrumb.xslt - add condition, something like <xsl:apply-templates select="Page[@InPath='True']">


Regards,
Vladimir
