controller.xml "product" view mapping

[Robert Gan]

Hello,

Situation:
In a few situations I want to show product details in a layered java script window...in example, when the custumer is on a product and get offered the associated products. When I click on one associated product, the customer gets redirected to its product details. But here I wanna open like a popup window to show the details, that the customer do not leave the product page where he came from.

Problem: 
The product detail page is rendered with all other page content (main decorator, left and right content bar, header, footer etc.) which I do not want to show on the popup window.

So I am searching for the java class, or whatever where the class decides (depending from the URL) which view mapping in controller.xml is called. There I want to make like an if/else case to decide which view mapping is called.

In the case that I want just the details without all other content, I would append sth. to the URL like:

normal Url: .../ecommerce/massive-gizmo-GZ-7000-p
append sth:/ecommerce/massive-gizmo-GZ-7000-p?showStandaloneDetails

I checked the CatalogUrlFilter.java and the CatalogUrlServlet.java files, but I couldnt find it.

Or is it the completly wrong way how i'm trying to do it? Is there a much simpler way to achieve it?

Can anyone help me here on it?

Thanks a lot,

Robert

Robert,

There is no support for this to show ajax product screen differently. But
for sure you can do it by customizing the CatalogUrlServlet.
Add one more screen for product say 'AjaxProduct', and use this in
additional public final string same as PRODUCT_REQUEST in the
CatalogUrlServlet.java.

Checkout the code in LoginWorker.java file (isAjax () method), it will
return the true/false if request is AJAX or not, implement the similar
check in servlet and render the page you want.

HTH!

Many Thanks. I would do it this way:

instead of the Url pattern: p_xxxx

I would use: ps_xxxx

and decide with p or ps in CatalogUrlServlet which screen I want to render.

To handle the url usage a little bit better, I want to change the macro "ofbizCatalogAltUrl" (calling with @ofbizCatalogAltUrl or adding a new macro for this case). But I cannot find the place where theses macros are defined. Its not in the ftl file cause it should be available global on all ecommerce sites. But where is it? :)

Do anyone know that?

Thanks
