News and special offer product groups

Posted on 31/03/2011 09:20:25

Is it possible to create a product group automatically with special offers or "news"?

We have a client, and they want to have a product group which is called "news", and my thought was to make a checkbox on the product, OR use the Campaign Feature.

Any ideas to how this could be done?

Link products which are in "Campaign" to a productgroup, automatically?

Also those which are either checked on the product with a custom checkbox (in admin), or in special offer-mode.

Dynamicweb eCommerce does not provide this out of the box, but it can be coded using the API.

The simplest way to do it is making a notification subscriber that provides the productcollection needed in the groups you create. Create a group, make a notification subscriber that "listens" to that group and return the products you want.

Or maybe you can use the Assortments module and assign the products to multiple groups, one of them being the News group?

Then you can display the News group using a Product Catalog, and the shop managers can assign or remove products to / from that group.

Hope this helps,

Thanks for your suggestions.

I will pass on the two options to the client. So they can choose between the automated and the manual handling.

cheers.
