Do you have any plans to include a category page that displays catalog nodes- categories, webpages, links, products? We have sites wanting to upgrade that use is. I'm trying to work on one, but it's fumbling around as far as if I need to set up a new model,etc. I've added code to the CategoryController and created the view.Can I get any help?
Here's is part of what I have so far by copying the categorygrid2 code and changing it.
[RegisterWidget(DisplayName = "Catalog Node Grid", IconUrl = "category_grid.png", Category = WidgetCategory.Category, Description = "Displays only the products within the category being viewed. Uses admin sort order as the default display.")]
public ActionResult CategoryGridPage4(CategoryGridPageParams parameters, int page = 1, int pageSize = 0, string sortExpression = "OrderBy ASC, Name ASC")
{
if (pageSize == 0)
pageSize = (int)parameters.MaxItems;
var pageIndex = page - 1;
int categoryId = parameters.CategoryId;
Category category = _categoryRepo.Load(categoryId);
if (category == null)
{
categoryId = AlwaysConvert.ToInt(this.RouteData.Values["Id"]);
if (categoryId > 0)
{
category = _categoryRepo.Load(categoryId);
}
}
// IF IT IS ROOT CATEGORY
if (category == null || category.Visibility == CatalogVisibility.Private)
{
Response.Redirect(Url.Content("~/Default"), false);
return RedirectToLocal(Url.Content("~/Default"));
}
var store = AbleContext.Current.Store;
// LOAD PRODUCTS MEETING CRITERIA
//int count = _nodeRepo.CountForCategory<Product>(category.Id);
int count = _catalogNodeRepo.CountForCategory(categoryId);//true, true should be here
int index = pageSize * pageIndex;
if (index >= count) index = 0;
var categories = _catalogRepo.LoadForCategory(category.Id, false, pageSize, (pageSize * pageIndex), sortExpression);
var categoriesModel = categories.Select(node => new CategoryModel()
{
Name = node.Name,
NavigateUrl = node.NavigateUrl,
ThumbnailAltText = node.ThumbnailAltText,
ThumbnailUrl = node.ThumbnailUrl,
Summary=node.Summary
}).ToList();
..... more not included here
I've added public StaticPagedList<CategoryModel> Categories { get; set; } to the CategoryGridPageModel
I'm getting the error on the page, but no errors in the build.
could not resolve property: Name of: CommerceBuilder.Catalog.CatalogNode
Thanks for any help.
