That's an interesting re-use side-effect bug... I guess we could either create a separate ftl file for the cross/up/etc-sells than the one used for the category listings, or we could make the current one more intelligent to know where it is being included from. Either way is fine by me...

Are rendered using the productsummaryScreen - which is normally fine. I found something strange when my products starting showing up in multiple categories. Picture Products A, B, & C which are all in the Coat Category. So, you associate these as product_complements and when you're in the Coat Category the URLs to the Suggested Products look something like /ecommerce/control/crosssell/~category=100/~product_id=10000 - (let's say this is to Product C). Let's say that A has the associated products B & C, and the like for each of the others.

This is awesome, but what happens when you place A & B on special and they show up on your main page? Well, then the detail page looks the same except the URLs look like this /ecommerce/control/ crosssell/~category=SPECIALS/~product_id=10000 . This is a problem because C is not actually in the SPECIALS - and causes an error. I have fixed this by using a different productsummaryScreen that removes the ~category component from the URL - which is kinda weird, but it works.

Is this something we should fix in OFBiz?

Cheers,
Tim
