Spliting Related Products list?

[MeFromLondon]

Hi,

I’m trying to find a way of splitting the Related Products list in two.
What I’d like to achieve is to have a related products list (product details: marketing tab) but to have its contents showing in two different places on the products page. Eg have a list containing 5 products, with the first 2 appearing somewhere fairly high in the Product layout and the remaining 3 appearing further down the layout.

I’ve been messing around with a few ideas but not getting anywhere fast (or slowly). Not sure if it’s me lacking inspiration, or if I’m just barking up the wrong tree.

Any ideas or pointers?

Thanks,
David

First of all get the full list showing in both places where you want them. Then look at the listindex variable and limit the related lists to showing set numbers of products. e.g. list 1 can only use listindex <=2, whereas list 2 can use listindex >2.

You can also introduce the marketing lists via a Block IIRC.

Brilliant! That works a treat.

Thank you very, very, much.
