Miva9 Listing All products under multiple categories

[lesliekirk]

lesliekirk the FIX IS IN......

Simply add this.....

<mvt:assign name="l.settings:myProducts" value="0" />

.....to the line just above Runtime_ProductList_Load_Offset_Category. And Boom, it works.

Isn't that the same as this?

<mvt:assign name="l.settings:products" value="0" />

If so, I'm still having issues....

[aarcmedia]

I'd say it may be running into the normal "product" loop causing issues? Maybe try re-naming yours exactly as mine is? Here's my code exactly as I have it, stripped of the fluff......

                    <mvt:foreach array="cattree_categories" iterator="category_children">
                        <mvt:if expr="l.settings:category_children:parent_id EQ l.settings:category:id">
                            <mvt:assign name="l.null" value="miva_array_insert(l.settings:subcategories, l.settings:category_children, -1)" />
                        </mvt:if>
                    </mvt:foreach>
                    <mvt:assign name="l.settings:category_children" value="miva_array_elements(l.settings:subcategories)" />
                    <mvt:if expr="l.settings:subcategories GT 0">

                            <mvt:foreach iterator="subcategory" array="subcategories">
                                <h2 class="u-text-uppercase"><a href="&mvte:subcategory:link;">
                                    <strong>&mvte:subcategory:name;</strong>
                                </a></h2>

I confirmed that worked and spit things out without getting funky and adding to rows below to make up where rows above had that dreaded "max" number of products.

Was that what was still causing you issue? Or was it the add to cart forms? I removed the ordering mechanism from the above reply because we were doing some funky stuff there that would have convoluted this example. There is also probably a couple of items that I have planted on the page that aren't needed as well at the top of the foreach loop as I copy and pasted from the Miva examples and haven't stripped out the items not needed fully.

I'm also a tab, not spaces kind of guy. Don't yell at me for that haha.

[aarcmedia]

For some reason, within this subcat w/ products loop, the "qty in cart" junk isn't working. What would have to be modified or called in to play in order to make this work on this custom loop the same way it works within the category product list loop?

What's below doesn't pull anything...

<mvt:if expr="l.settings:product:quantity GT 0">
    <span class="x-product-layout-purchase__product-quantity u-font-tiny">
        QTY in Cart: <strong>&mvt:product:quantity;</strong>
    </span>
</mvt:if>

[Bruce - PhosphorMedia]

I think you'd have to come up with your own routine to loop through the basket and see if the product is in there. I believe that 'items in cart' variable is only created on Product Pages. That function could take up quite of bit of processing time BTW.

[aarcmedia]

It works as part of the normal Category Product List loop, so it definitely goes beyond the PROD template (I have it working on the normal CTGY product page for each item now). I just can't figure out how I have to call it to work within this custom sub-category w/ products loop. I may reach out to partner support again haha. They helped get me square with the issue Leslie and I were having, so I may as well ping them and see if they'll allow me to abuse their kindness a bit more.

[aarcmedia]

OK, so thanks to developer support, I got the QTY stuff working now as well within this loop using by simply adding this little snippet just above the conditional for the qty in cart stuff, like so....

<mvt:do file="g.Module_Library_DB" name="l.settings:product:quantity" value="Basket_Quantity(l.settings:item:basket_id, l.settings:product:id)" />
<mvt:if expr="l.settings:product:quantity GT 0">
    <span class="x-product-layout-purchase__product-quantity u-font-tiny">
        QTY in Cart: <strong>&mvt:product:quantity;</strong>
    </span>
</mvt:if>

[RTHOMASDESIGN]

This is great! Thanks for the code guys :)

Only problem I see is that the code aarcmedia provided pulls in the full-size product image. Even with lazyloading it's not going to work (for my needs)... Anyone know of a better method to produce/fetch thumbnails than the code I'm using below?

<!-- placed outside product loop -->
<mvt:assign name="l.settings:img:width" value="400"/>
<mvt:assign name="l.settings:img:height" value="400"/>

<!-- placed within the product loop -->
<mvt:do file="g.Module_Library_DB" name="l.settings:sub_category:product:image_count" value="ProductImageDataList_Load_Product(l.settings:product:id, l.settings:product:images)" />
<mvt:foreach iterator="image" array="product:images">
    <mvt:if expr="l.settings:image:imagetype:code EQ 'main'">
    <mvt:assign name="l.settings:product:main_image" value="l.settings:image" />
    <mvt:foreachstop/>
    </mvt:if>
</mvt:foreach>

<mvt:do file="g.Module_Library_DB" name="l.result" value="GeneratedImage_FindOrInsert_Image_Dimensions( l.settings:product:main_image:image, l.settings:img:width, l.settings:img:height, l.settings:product:main_image:generated )" />
<mvt:assign name="l.settings:image:mainthumb" value="l.settings:product:main_image:generated:image" />

&mvte:image:mainthumb;

Hey Ted aarcmedia - hope you are around. This fix seems to have stopped working. It's back to displaying duplicates as if to "fill space". I noticed it in this category. The Rush is supposed to be the last sub-sub-category with the Rush product. But right after it, it start back with 3 previously listed categories. It's like it tries to shift the last 3 sub-sub-categories of the previous sub-category over to "fill space".

Why would this stop working after working so nicely for a year and a half? Has something changed behind the scenes?
