[jira] Created: (OFBIZ-151) Associated Products are assumed

Associated Products are assumed
--------------------------------

Key: OFBIZ-151
URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OFBIZ-151
Project: OFBiz (The Open for Business Project)
Issue Type: Bug
Components: product
Environment: Fedora Core 5, Java 1.5.0_06, ofbiz version 429794
Reporter: Tim Ruppert

Associted products are rendered using the productsummaryScreen - which is normally fine. I found something strange when my products starting showing up in multiple categories.

Picture Products A, B, & C which are all in the Coat Category. So, you associate these as product_complements and when you're in the Coat Category the URLs to the Suggested Products look something like /ecommerce/control/crosssell/~category=100/~product_id=10000 - (let's say this is to Product C). Let's say that A has the associated products B & C, and the like for each of the others.

This is awesome, but what happens when you place A & B on special and they show up on your main page? Well, then the detail page looks the same except the URLs look like this /ecommerce/control/crosssell/~category=SPECIALS/~product_id=10000 . This is a problem because C is not actually in the SPECIALS - and causes an error.

Tim Ruppert commented on OFBIZ-151:
-----------------------------------

I can provide a temporary patch which will solve the problem for everyone - and truthfully - at the moment I can't think of anything else that will fix it since the ProductAssociation is associating products - not categories.

Therefore there can be no context on where these other products might live. We could always look up the categories that these products come from and just pick one of the potentially valid categories, but is that better than taking them to a product page without an active category?

Any good ideas will be helpful on this one. My existing fix looks like this:

1. Add associatedproductsummary to Catalog.xml (start with a copy of productsummary)
2. Add a field 'associatedproductsummaryScreen to the productdetail definition - point at #1
3. In the productdetail - change the screen name that's rendered inside the 'associated-products' div
4. in associatedproductsummary.ftl, remove the ~category=${categoryId}
