Hi,

working on a rapido solution where the customer wants to open a product from the productlist (ProductsRender Template) by clicking on a color variant image (not a size) and then get directed to the product page with the color (not size) selected. It looks like DW needs both info regarding color and size variant. We need a Url like ex. this "en/products/men/svartisen/mustard" (where mustard is the color variant) but it looks like DW only accepts an url with a size  to open the product page with a color variant selected (en/products/men/svartisen/mustard/black-42). Any suggestions?

Hi Søren

The validation of the VariantID parameter comes from settings, Web & Http, Customized URLs, and disables "Use strict URL recognition". Maybe you can just disable that. That will prevent you from getting a 404. That might be enough.

As an alternative: Dynamicweb cannot understand partial variantids right now. But you can make your own rendering logic relatively simple. So when someone clicks the color image, simply use a variable you invent your self, i.e. "&PrimaryVariantID=VO1" - Dynamicweb will ignore that, and you can react on it in the product detail template and render the right image.

It will not solve the url issue though...

Hi Nicolai,

I managed to open the prduct page with the pictures selected based on the users selection on the productlist page.

No I'm trying to set the selected variant color image active based on the users selection on the productlist page. Have tried to modify the product feed template to set the selected property in the variant option loop:

string variantparameter = HttpContext.Current.Request.QueryString["primaryvariantId"];

if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(variantparameter))

{

if (variantparameter == variantoption.GetString("Ecom:VariantOption.ID"))

{

variantOptionObject.selected = "checked";

hasSelection = true;

}

}
