Re: Two root category

[Raj Saini]

You are right, brand field is simple text. I am also not sure what could 
be the purpose it.

However, there is also a OEM field on product page. OEM stands for 
"Original Equipment Manufacturer". I am not sure what is the intended 
use of this field but it looks most suitable to me. You can create a 
Party Group for each manufacturer and associate with product using OEM 
field.

Thanks,

Suppose my products are tyres and I would like to show in the product detail
screen a little brand logo (goodyear, bridgestone etc.) and this should be
clickable and take to the brand web site.
What is the best way to implement?
I have seen a "brand" field in the product page but I am confused about
using this field (that seems to be a simple string) or link the product to a
"Party group" that can have the web site and logo associated to it.
If this second solution should be used do you suggest to define a new party
role for what I have to do or may be some already exists?

Have you created new roles if they do not exists? You will also need to
associate those roles to your party in party manager before you associate a
party in catalog manager. Party lookup catalog manager shows all the roles,
instead it should show only roles the selected party is member. Therefore,
be careful to choose only role which your party is associated in party
manager.

now I
am trying to associate the products to these parties with a Vendor role.
In https://localhost:8443/catalog/control/addPartyToProduct
if I select a role different from "Not Applicable" I get the following
error:

Divide your product in general categories. And use the parties tab to
add
manufacturer role to a product. You can use get a list of
manufacturers from
the product and role association entity (I don't remember exactly but
I
think it is ProductRole ).
