Nested Category List with Manufacturers
Hi
 
With the categorylist block the Categories are displayed. The subcategories are also listed using a nested repeater control on page load. Is it possible to also have the manufacturers/brands displayed on page load instead of having to click on a category/subcategory to load them?
 
I tried using this code nested within the main rptCategories repeater but it doesnt seem to work. Can anybody help me please?
 
Thanks
<asp:Repeater id="rptManufacturer"  datasource='<%# Eval("ManufacturerCounts") %>'  runat="server">
                                            <ItemTemplate>
                                                <a class="bar" href="<%# categoryUrl %>?manufacturer=<%# Eval("Manufacturer.Name")%>">
                            <span><%# Eval("Manufacturer.Name")%><span id="Span2" runat="server" class="ProductCount"
                                visible='<%# categoryListData.ShowProductCount %>'>(<%# Eval("Count") %>)</span></span>
                        </a>
                                            </ItemTemplate>
                                        </asp:Repeater>

Re: Nested Category List with Manufacturers
Do you want manufacturers displayed inside categories? Or at the top level? If later, then it might be easy to have a manufacturer list block.

Hi Lukezy
 
We are going to have both.
 
Wee going to have a right side navigation with 3 levels.
 
Category
  - Subcategory
     - Manufacturer
 
These all need to be loaded when the page loads so we will not have a click event to load manufacturers seperately.
 
We are also going to have a manufacturer page which will display a list of all manufacturers with their logos. We will then want to be bale to click on a logo and products fot that manufacturer to load/disply.
 
Any help or would be greately appreciated.
 
Thanks
