Custom Related Products Loop

Hi,

Wasn't there a code example of how to generate a loop of related products?

I have a SQL query that will essentially return a list of ProductIDs that I would like to then put in a loop. I know there are a ton of ways to do this, but I want to avoid doing it in the template, and before I develop a method, if there's something I'd subscribe to, I'd like to do that instead.

Best Regards,

Nuno Aguiar

Hi Nuno,

Do you mean RelatedProductListProvider?

using Dynamicweb.Ecommerce.Extensibility.Provider;

[RelatedProductList("MyRelatedProductList")] // Used as template loop name
public class MyRelatedProductListProvider : RelatedProductListProvider
{
    public override ProductCollection GetCollection(RelatedProductListProviderEventArgs eventArgs)
    {
        return null; // TODO: Return products here
    }
}

Hi Morten,

Perfect that's just what I was looking for and could not find it. Did not remember to look at Providers.

Thanks for being able to read between my innacurate message.

Best Regards,

Hi again Morten,

This all works as expected, but I see ProductCollection to be obsolete, but there's no suggested alternative.

I know there are some premature objects and methods around in the code flaged as obsolete, and I am wondering if this one of thore OR if there is there a better alternative?

Best Regards,

No, just use product collection.
