V8 - stop duplicates generating extended page

[Andy Warner]

Hi folks,

V8, multi, mole end automation

Ive got lots of duplicates, and they are generating the same extended page name as the master product, resulting in the 'continue upload yes/no' warning box on upload, which is OK as Mole End automation SHOULD 'yes' those. It sometimes gets out of sync and the warnings just sit there and I have to manually click yes.....

is there a way of turning off Extended Pages for duplicates?

couldnt find anything on a search.

much appreciated.

Try this. Go to Design / Library / Layouts / Extended Information Links / Standard Extended Information Links. The first line should be a blockif containing:

<actinic:variable name="IsPopUpPageGenerated" />

Change it to be:

<actinic:variable name="IsPopUpPageGenerated" /> AND (<actinic:variable name="ProductType" /> == 0)

So the popup page will only get generated for main products.

thanks - not tried

Cheers Norman, i'll try that on one shop.
Ive gone into the product table in the database and removed all the references to duplicate file names - going to try that now.
