Hi,

I have a custom solution, which I need to upgrade to DW9.

In a custom module, there is a reference to ProductListCollectionProvider, which was located in the Dynamicweb.Extensibility.Provider namespace (http://doc.dynamicweb.com/api8/#Dynamicweb~Dynamicweb.Extensibility.Provider.ProductListCollectionProvider.html), but it's not present in DW9.

Any ideas to where to find it or a workaround to use instead?

Best regards

Hi Kurt

What are using the ProductListCollectionProvider for ? I cannot remember what it was - but if you tell me what it does, I can probably tell you what to do in DW9.

Thanks for clarifying, Nicolai

Hi all,

That provider was removed in Dynamicweb 9.

In Dynamicweb 9, it's not recommended to provide a custom product list to the Product Catalog app, rather we recommend that you use an index-based approach. If that isn't enough, then -- as Nicolai says -- please clarify the use-case and we'd probably be able to better assist you.

Ah, that one! Something with changing sorting and such!

Hi,

It is used to create a custom product list (product collection) based on different filter- and group-ids, given on the product group from external PIM (Perfion).

It makes sense to use the Index instead, also performance-wise. Thanks :)
