I would advocate the need to be able to specify a primary group for product. If we add a product to more than one group, but want one unique path to the product (since this is generally what you always want SEO wise anyways).

Is there any way of doing this today without the need to specify a customfield for holding a groupid on a product?

Im really missing this feature i must say...

Will this be implemented some time in the future?

Hi - that's a great suggestion. I will bring it up at our next PM meeting.

 Hi again - we have agreed on implementing this feature in one of our upcoming releases. I hope it will be included in the 8.2 version 27th November - but it needs to be planned in details before I can be sure.

How is this attribute used in frontend? I can't seem to find a template tag containing this, but I might be looking the wrong place.

It is used to render a canonical if you check the "Use canonical in eCommerce" checkbox in mgmt center under url settings...

 

You need it as a tag?

So was this ever made possible? That way we could make a breadcrumb straight to the product. Like: Pagename > Product Group > Product Name

In addition to it being available as a tag, should this also update the GroupLink tag? Or at least have it available side by side? I would love to be able to have consistent links to products, regardless of where they are being shown...

The tag is available:) If you've specified a primary group, the GroupID of that group is available in 

<!--@Ecom:Product.PrimaryGroupID-->
There doesn't seem to be a full link tag that includes the GroupID, however, but I can live with that:)

... And you need to apply the GroupID parameter before the ProductID in the link. Otherwise, the URL will be /ProductName/GroupName.aspx :)

The problem with that is that it gives you the primary group, nut not the path to it. I have a structure like this:

 

/Workstations/MultiCoreServers/MyProduct

 

where MultiCoreServers is the primary group. The canonical is correctly set to /Workstations/MultiCoreServers/MyProduct but by using the ID alone I can't link to it correctly....

For now I have used snippets and done this on the product page:

	<!--@SnippetStart(ProductGroupLink)-->
	  <!--@LoopStart(AssociatedGroups)-->
	    	<!--@If(AssociatedGroups.LoopCounter=1)-->
	  			<!--@Ecom:Group.Link-->
	  		<!--@EndIf-->	
	  	<!--@LoopEnd(AssociatedGroups)-->
	<!--@SnippetEnd(ProductGroupLink)-->

And then:

<!--@Snippet(ProductGroupLink)-->

where i need to build my breadcrumb.

 

This gives me the whole group link, with name and all.

I do get the path (8.3.1.9), however, when the product is in a subgroup, the URL is /ProductName/SuperGroupName/SubGroupName.aspx.
