Hi guys,

One more thing. Can I control the sort order of subgroups under one parent Group?

By "control" I mean save a value for the sort order upon inserting a Subgroup or editing the sort order of an existing Subgroup.

Thank you,

Adrian

Hi Adrian,

An example of NP's suggestion:

Dynamicweb.Ecommerce.Products.Group g = new Group
{
 Name = "myGroup",
 Description = "myDescription",
};
Dynamicweb.Ecommerce.Services.ProductGroups.Save(g);

// apply group field data
var groupField = new ProductGroupField("CustomField1") { SystemName = "CustomField1" };
var fv = new Dynamicweb.Ecommerce.Products.ProductGroupFieldValue(groupField, "new info");
g.ProductGroupFieldValues.Add(fv);

groupField = new ProductGroupField("CustomField2") { SystemName = "CustomField2" };
fv = new Dynamicweb.Ecommerce.Products.ProductGroupFieldValue(groupField, 246);
g.ProductGroupFieldValues.Add(fv);

Dynamicweb.Ecommerce.Services.ProductGroups.Save(g);

// Group.ParentGroups.Add(group) method does not expose sort order - you need to use a GroupRelation for that
string parentId = "GROUP7";
Dynamicweb.Ecommerce.Products.GroupRelation gr = new GroupRelation
{
 ParentId = parentId,
 Id = g.Id,
 Sorting = 1
};

gr.Save(g.Id, parentId);

// apply shop-group relation
Dynamicweb.Ecommerce.Shops.ShopGroupRelation sgr = new Dynamicweb.Ecommerce.Shops.ShopGroupRelation
{
 ShopId = "SHOP1",
 GroupId = g.Id
};

sgr.Save("SHOP1", g.Id);
