    category related products



    How about make a variable using a token that would contain the codes of
    the products that you
    want to appear as related... then use some scripting to see if that var
    is populated on that screen.
    If it isn't... then skip it.
    if it is then do the loops to display the prods.
    and set the var to null at the end in your template...
    that way... you only have to turn it 'on' by actually putting something
    the var at the top.
    like in the cat header you could do this......when you want rel prods to
    show, and to make it easy to put them in on a cat by cat basis.
    %SET(KE_myrelatedprods|:cb123:de456:fg789:)%

    in the template your logic is like this:

    if KE_myrelatedprods isn't empty
    do this stuff
    %SET(KE_myrelatedprods|)%

    Hint: I use : to seperate the codes that way I can parse them out with a
    while loop into an array.

    I don't think there's any to do this without a custom module. Are you
    using Category Page Templates? You could use the Subcats to display the
    related but you'd need to call in the original products using HTML (or
    some other function call to pull in other products from another
    category).

    I've never done it, and I'm not sure how logical that would be.

      Yes, but you'll still need to call your products in the top - if you
      have those products assigned to a main level category, then that WOULD
      work, and the related products would need to be a sub-category of that.
      However, keep in mind about pagination etc.
