List all products in a known category

[srmb]

I am trying to use the Toolkit cxp and/or cxpc functions to pull a list of all the products in a particular category "mycategorycode" for a dropdown. I don't want all the categories to display, just the one that I need. The problem is that the Toolkit function only seems to work to list all products in all categories. I basically want to replace "g.Category_Code" with "mycategorycode" in the following Toolkit code.

<mvt:item name="toolkit" param="cxpc|pcount|g.Category_Code" /> to <mvt:item name="toolkit" param="cxpc|pcount|mycategorycode" />

I've tried several variations but none are working. Not sure what I'm overlooking or if I need to use some other function to accomplish this.

Thanks for any insight.

Use something like the following (no toolkit)

<mvt:do name="l.doit" file="g.Module_Library_DB" value="Category_Load_Code( 'yourCatCodeHere', l.settings:thisCategory)" />
<mvt:do name="l.doit" file="g.Module_Library_DB" value="Runtime_ProductList_Load_Offset_Category( l.settings:thisCategory:id, g.Offset, 100, g.NextOffset, l.settings:myProducts )" />

<mvt:comment> Now you have an array of products so</mvt:comment>

<mvt:foreach iterator="product" array="myProducts">

&mvt:product:code;
&mvt:product:name;
&mvt:product:thumb;
etc

</mvt:foreach>

Thanks Bruce, I'll have to give that a try! I think I finally got it work with Toolkit too. Had to use the parentcat function then the cxpc...

<!-- Display all products in mycategory-->
<mvt:item name="toolkit" param="parentcat|pccount" />
<mvt:foreach iterator="parent_category" array="parent_categories">
<mvt:if expr="('mycategory' CIN l.settings:parent_category:code)" >
<li><a href="/category/&mvta:parent_category:code;.html"><span>&mvt:paren t_category:name;</span></a>

<ul>
<mvt:item name="toolkit" param="cxpc|pcount|l.all_settings:parent_category: code" />
<mvt:foreach iterator="sub_product" array="sub_products">
<mvt:if expr="pcount GT 0">
<li><a href="/product/&mvta:parent_category:code;/&mvta:sub_product:code;.html">
<span>&mvt:sub_product:name;</span></a>
</li>
</mvt:if>
</mvt:foreach>
</ul>

</li>
</mvt:if>
</mvt:foreach>
