Simple Products List

Hostmaster · Post by **Hostmaster** » Fri Feb 08, 2008 8:13 am

Is there a simple Products List, like the SimpleCategoryList,

We have A Catagory With a Few "Special Products" and would like to list Just the Titles in a format simlar to the SimpleCategoryList.

Having 1 of the Items with an Image Above would be a bonus.

Please advise

Pete

Pete,

Check the ConLib Reference in the AC7 Help menu. Several of the user controls have quite a few parameters that let you control the amount of information displayed by that control.

well, With help We hacked out two Simple Conlibs, for any that are interested.

Displays Tiles of Products in a Category
[[ConLib:Custom\SimpleProductList CategoryID="58" Caption="Our Own Caption" MaxItems="4" Orientation="VERTICAL" DisplayMode="SEQUENTIAL"]]

And
Custom\SpecialProductDisplay:

Display Products by Product ID and can be Many with comma separated list
[[ConLib:Custom\SpecialProductDisplay ProductID="113,485" Caption="Special Product" Orientation="VERTICAL"]]

The Simple ProductList was a short Hack from the MoreCategoryItems Items. The Special Product Display was a more complex continuation of that.

For any that want these items, Just drop me an Email to Hostmaster @ offpla.net, Please No Spam.

It would be nice to see hacked controls in action. A screen shot or url would be nice. (I would prefer the screen shot as urls change all the time) A picture is worth a 1000 words.

Yes i understand that, and am sorry. I do not see a way to upload images into this forum. and unfortunatly My site is stil about 2 weeks from ready for public viewing.

That in mind however,

The SpecialProductDisplay Hack, lets you display a Product or multiple products, By productID whereever you insert it.

The SimpleProductList Hack Displays Tiles of Products in a Category, I use it for a Special Catagory and the Caption is Our own Line. this Catagory is Hidden only at the Catagory level and All the product we have in it are also in other Catagorys.

Hope that helps explain it better.

Pete,

Have you looked at CategoryGrid2 and CategoryGrid4 yet?

Sounds similar to those layouts from what you've described.

I've had a similar issue trying to get a table-like layout on my search.aspx page. I try to select Category List Page, and get an error message stating

Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

I assume that's CategoryGrid4, since it's the fourth Category choice.

Thanks,

Sheldon

Update: I get this error when trying to access CategoryList.aspx directly as well. Restored the original files from the zip folder, and it still gives this error.

Anyone else experiencing this issue with ASP.NET v7.0?

Thanks,

Sheldon
