Hi,
I've got a pretty simple group structure in eCom, but making it work in frontend is quite hard...
- Group1
- Subgroup1
- Subgroup2
- Group2
- Subgroup3
- Sugrroup4
Important! No groups will ever be present more that one place in this structure!
In the frontend we would like to list them like this:
Initial page:
Group1
Group2
Etc.
On click on a level1 group we would like all products from the level2 groups (child groups of that level1 group) listed, but grouped by their level2 group.
- Subgroup1
- Product1
- Product2
- Product3
- Subgroup2
- Product4
- Product5
- etc.
I have managed to get the products grouped, but I can't seem to access the sort order from the backend. I know that the comment on this earlier has been: "it doesn't make sense to have that available because groups can be in more than one location in the group tree"... But in my case it sure does!
Here is my code (might be possible to do it better, but I'm no hardcore programmer):
@{
var groups = GetLoop("Products").GroupBy(g => g.GetString("Ecom:Product.PrimaryOrFirstGroupID"));
foreach (var group in groups)
{
{
foreach (var p in group)
{
if (group.First()==p) {
var agroups = p.GetLoop("AssociatedGroups");
foreach (var agroup in agroups.Where(g => g.GetString("Ecom:Group.ID") == group.Key)) {
<h3>@agroup.GetString("Ecom:Group.Name")</h3>
}
}
{
if (group.First()==p) {
var agroups = p.GetLoop("AssociatedGroups");
foreach (var agroup in agroups.Where(g => g.GetString("Ecom:Group.ID") == group.Key)) {
<h3>@agroup.GetString("Ecom:Group.Name")</h3>
}
}
}
<ul>
@foreach (var p in group)
{
here I have my code for each product
}
</ul>
}
}
@foreach (var p in group)
{
here I have my code for each product
}
</ul>
}
}
