Hey all

 

On Product detail, does anyone know how to get the current categoryid?  I am not using the stock cat/subcat browser, I had to roll my own for a customer requirement.  I sniffed around the output, I see ProductID is in session.  I don't see categoryid. 

From another post, I see that tvCatMenuSelected is a sessvar that can contain it, but as I am not using the cat/subcat browser it won't work for me.

I wish I could use your cat browser, customer has a requirement that the left menu show like this:

Category 1
-----------> Item 1
-----------> Item 2
Category 2
-----------> Item 3
-----------> Item 4

I have it working through a very clever Razor report module against category/product associative tables. My issue was that depending upon how they land on the product, I need to "open" a category and show other items. I did this by using HTTP_Referrer in my razor syntax, but if they land on a product I cannot link it in the side menus properly.

Again, no big deal at this point, but I thought if you could expose the product object to template or binding <% %> syntax we could make some nice custom pages.
