Hi Hans

No, that is not available. But you can use the API to find it:

Dynamicweb.Ecommerce.Products.GroupService.GetGroup(PrimaryGroupId).Name

HI again

Sorry for the late followup, but I still can´t get it to work. I am probably doing it completely wrong, but hope you can help me.

My code is:

 @foreach (LoopItem i in GetLoop("OrderLines")){

 <text>         
@{
   string productid = @i.GetString("Ecom:Product.PrimaryGroupID");    
   string group = Dynamicweb.Ecommerce.Products.GroupService.GetGroup(@productid).Name;

}
</text>

}

But i get the message:

Line 115: An object reference is required for the non-static field, method, or property 'Dynamicweb.Ecommerce.Products.GroupService.GetGroup(string)'

What am I doing wrong?

Hi Hans,

You probably don't have a PrimaryGroupId set. Try to use PrimaryOrFirstGroupId https://doc.dynamicweb.com/template-tags/ecommerce/product-catalog/product#Ecom:Product.PrimaryOrFirstGroupID instead.

And you should still check if it's null in case you run into a product that is not associated with any groups.

It's also confusing to call productId to a variable that holds a groupId :P

Hi Nuno

Thanks for the reply. I´ve tried your suggestion, but still doesn´t work

My code now looks like this

 @foreach (LoopItem i in GetLoop("OrderLines")){

<text>

    @{
   string groupid = @i.GetString("Ecom:Product.PrimaryOrFirstGroupID");  
           
           <text>
           @if(!String.IsNullOrEmpty(@i.GetString("Ecom:Product.PrimaryOrFirstGroupID"))){
           string groupname = Dynamicweb.Ecommerce.Products.GroupService.GetGroup(@groupid).Name;
           }
                </text>

} 

</text>

}

PS: I changed the name from product to group :) And I do get the value like eg GROUP32 in Ecom:Product.PrimaryOrFirstGroupID

But I get an error message from the:

string groupname = Dynamicweb.Ecommerce.Products.GroupService.GetGroup(@groupid).Name;

What could be wrong?

Stil have not got this to work

I am attaching the entire template here, and hopefully someone can help?

Would really apprecieate it

Hi Hans,

Looks like the problem might be in the API method. That can change depending on the DW version. If you're using an older version this might be the way to go:

string groupname = Dynamicweb.Ecommerce.Products.GetGroupById(@groupid).Name;

You should not be calling the group name directly through, and check if it's not null prior to getting the Name property.

Hi Nuno

Thanx for your Reply. Am running a version 9.4.14 - so it´s not an old solution.

Your suggestion didn´t work unfortunately :/

Sorry for my little knowledge, but what do you mean when you say "You should not be calling the group name directly through" ? Please ellaborate

Shouldn´t this do the trick of checking if it is null?

  @if(!String.IsNullOrEmpty(@i.GetString("Ecom:Product.PrimaryOrFirstGroupID"))){
           string groupname = Dynamicweb.Ecommerce.Products.GroupService.GetGroup(@groupid).Name;
           }

All products are in a group, so it should not be null.

I attached the entire template in my post earlier. Hopefully someone can help solve this?

Would really appreciate it.

Perfect Morten, that works :)
