Can Actinic display all the products in sections below the current one?

[robmackley]

When I'm in a certain section, as well as displaying a list of sub-sections, it possible to display all the products that are in those sub-sections?

The first solution I thought of was to create a duplicate of every product in the sub-sections and just drop it in the parent. This works but becomes a manual process so every time a product is added my customer would have to remember to add a duplicate.
I'm guessing the solution will be using blocks but I can't work out/find the right one/s to use.

I think I need something along the lines of:

If the current section has a child section/s, display all the products in that/those child section/s.

Any suggestions welcome!

<actinic:block type="ChildSectionList">
  <actinic:block type="ProductList">
    <actinic:variable name="ProductName"><br/>
  </actinic:block>
</actinic:block>

Instead of displaying just the product name, you could put a product layout in there instead.

Note that this displays the immediate child sub-sections only. It won't go deeper into sub-sub-sections.

See the Advanced Guide for "Advanced List Functionality" for more details.

Thanks Norman – a great help!

This is defiantly along the line of what I want to achieve. I'll see if I can get the product layout in there which will be perfect.
