Hi,

If I run this code, I get alot of products:
var products = Product.getAllProductsFromShop("SHOP2");

However, if I run this code, I dont get any groups. But the Group with that ID exists:
var parentGroup = Group.GetGroupsByIDs(new List<string>
{
    "SHOP2"
}).Cast<Group>().FirstOrDefault();

if (parentGroup == null)
{
    throw new Exception("DynamicWeb does not work as expected.");
}

Thanks,
Martin.

Hi Martin

If I read your code correctly then "SHOP2" is a shop ID, and not a group ID which is why you don't get any groups. Group.GetGroupsByIDs expects group IDs and not shop IDs.

However if you do in fact have a group with the ID "SHOP2" then it needs to be available for the current Context language.

Thank you for your answer.

In case other people need the same, here is the solution:

var groups = Group.getGroups();
groups.Sort(GroupCollection.SortBy.ShopOrder);
var allGroups = groups.Cast<Group>();

They are now sorted as in the admin module.

However - behold, it's not only the root groups you have in your collection, so we need to run a LINQ query to get the root groups like this:

var rootGroups = (from grp in allGroups
                           where grp.IsTopGroup == true && grp.ShopID == "SHOP2"
                           grp).Distinct();
