Hi Adrian,

You should be able to do this by using the Dynamicweb.Frontend.SearchEngineFriendlyURLs.GetFriendlyUrl() method and:

• Getting the PrimaryOrFirstGroupId
• Ensuring the GroupId has a primary page set OR sending to the GetPageByNavigationTag("Products") OR to a static page ID

That's at least how we've done it in the past in similar situations.

Hi Nuno,

I already did that but it will only get me the direct parent of the product.

It is true that I can probably transform the friendly URL into a breadcrumb-like display but I have no way to tell where the groups start. Some pages might have a group-like name.
What I would need is a way to get the groups in the path. I can probably try and get the friendly name of the catalog page, the friendly name of the primary group, subtract them and transform whatever is left into a path.

I agree it is probably the most efficient way to generate it but I am not sure if I will always get a consistent outcome.

If there are no other options, I will probably have to make peace with this option :)

Thank you very much,

Adrian

Hi Adrian,

I guess that if you can get the proper breadcrumb generated in the product detail page, you can try to get the helper(s) that process the breadcrumb from that template and apply it to the template that generates the feed.

This may be easier said than done, but you can generate group path based on a groupId. If you use the API there's a PrimaryParentGroupId to find the parents tree/breadcrumb.

Hi Nuno,

This sounds like an option.

Thank you,

Adrian
