Hi Imar

Sounds weird. Do you have the checkbox "Enable display caching" set?

Try disabling it. It could be a bug that caches on the page id and not the paragraph instance...

BR Nicolai

Nope, display caching is turned off. Here's a link to the site in case you want to take a look:

This works fine as groups are rendered on the main ecom catalog: http://scooter.dw-demo.com/products

This one doesn't and shows the same set three times: http://scooter.dw-demo.com/products/mobile-workstations

Imar

Ah.

That is because the /mobile-workstations is actually a product group and translated into ?GroupID=GRPXX so the full URL would be Default.aspx?ID=1&GroupID=XX.

That will trigger all the catalog modules on that page to render a product list based on the querystring, getting the same product lists based on the Group id in the querystring.

To avoid that, you can add the PID=[ParagraphID] to the list being clicked, and that will make sure that only that paragraph reacts on the GroupID from the querystring. Meaning this works: http://scooter.dw-demo.com/products/mobile-workstations?PID=2

Of course that will give you ugly URLs... But it is the only way you can have different catalogs on the same page reacting on different querystring parameters...

I was afraid you were going to say that ;-( I saw something similar in another forum thread but didn't realize I was having the exact same situation.

Changing the URLs isn't a great idea as they will be using the URLs in public communication and print as well.

Any way to extend around this? At the very least I can make a custom module that has a Product Group picker and a template picker and then render my own products. Any alternatives that would be easier to implement?

And would a "Ignore URL parameters" or "Render as-is" checkbox on the Product Catalog module make any sense?

Imar

Hi Imar

I have added a "Ignore URL parameters" checkbox for the 8.3.1 branch, TFS#13985.

You can check it out of TFS or it will be released right after new years.

BR Nicolai

Wonderful! Thank you very much; I'll check it out.
