So I just discovered this odd behavior with product groups and have a plan for a work around...
I'm hoping someone else out there will have a better solution.
The problem:
-----------------
I created a custom "product groups" menu ... basically something which allows people to search bath and body products by fragrance.
's product group manager has the option to hide links to the groups... so I did. Now I only have mine (with the links to appropriate group IDs) and a bunch of hidden default links. It turns out that if you hide the default link, it breaks all references to that group ID. To better illustrate, if I have a hidden link to group "Rose" this is what I get
[no display default link]
[display custom link] --> *click* ---> index.asp loads
if I unhide rose
[display default link] ---> *click* --> productGroup pg loads
[display custom link] ---> *click --> productGroup pg loads
Work around:
-----------------
I never display a
commerce generated category listing for my navigation (it's all custom)so I think I can just add categories which will be essentially hidden (since I never provide a direct link) instead of using product groups. This however will prove to be a huge problem if I ever decide to switch
to a
generated category listing.Does anyone have a better solution?
Thanks
