Issue Displaying Multiple Product Query Web Parts on the Same Page

Question

Hi All,

I need to display multiple lists of products on the same page.

I added one Product Query Web Part on the page and it displays data correctly; but, once I added another Product Query Web Part on the same page, both web parts are show nothing.

Both web parts are linked to the same catalog and category, and they should display the same list of products. But, there is nothing displayed, in any of them.

Is it a limitation in regards to how many Product Query Web Parts are to be displayed on a page?

What I need eventually is to display multiple product lists on the same page, pointing to different categories. Has somebody done this before?

Thanks,

Odilia

Hi,

If you have a look at the CommerceSharePointExtensibilityKit, you will find a method called IsWebPartValid(). This method check if you have more than one webpart (with the function ThereIsOnlyOneProductProvider).

So, if you want more than one instance, just comment the below code:

// Make sure there is only one instance of a product provider
            if (this.ThereIsOnlyOneProductProvider() == false)
            {
                isValid = false;
                this._errorMessage = Microsoft.Commerce.Portal.Common.SiteContext.GetLocalizedString(Microsoft.Commerce.Portal.Common.ResourceName.CatalogResources, "MoreThanOneProductProvider") + "<br>";
            }
