Hi everyone,

We have these product groups:

GROUPA

GROUPB

GROUPC

And we have created an assortments where only logged in users have access to these groups and it works fine. but we also have GROUPD which is not related to any assorments but the products are not visible under this group niether for logged in user and anonymous user?

If I am getting it correct if any product is related to assortiments it will not be visible for anonymous users (which is not the case in Group D)

Hi Umar

Take a look at the manual regarding anonymous users from 8.6.1: http://manual.dynamicweb-cms.com/Default.aspx?ID=2038

Hi Nicolai,

I have been trough this documentation i believe its not a problem with our assortment setup (Please correct me if i am wrong).  I think its due to check in the index see the screen shot So if you are not logged in your assortment ids should be null or emtpty? which is not equal to product assortment ids so obviously there will be no products shown.

any solution for this?

Yes, but did you specify your assortment for anonymous users? If you have not, they will not see anything.

Hi Umar,

As per the manual (Frontend section), it should be done as follows:

"In frontend the assortment products are not visible for anonymous users and users that are not authorized to see the products. When logged in the users that are selected in the assortment groups can see the allowed products together with the rest of the products from the normal product catalog - if any."

So, please confirm that you understand the logic correct not to have a misunderstanding, e.g. please , check case for product catalog has source 'Product groups but not index.

I've checked test environment based on 8.8.1.23. as follows: Assortiment is enabled in MC. I have two assortiments each of these has separate product groups with products, first one is under security for a frontend user, second one for anonymous (appropriate checkbox is checked). Paragraph settings of Product catalog has the both groups and extra one regular, not under assortiment and has some products as well.

1. No loggin by the user - I see products of anonymous assortiment +  of the regular group (OK)

2. Logged -  of assortiment 1 (under security) + of the regular group, no product from anonymous asortiment (OK)

Hi Oleg,

I appretiate your detailed explanation. so basically it means that this setup will not work with new index?

If yes, then this can give us alot of other issues as well. wouldn't it be nice to consider it as a feature request so it can work with new index.

 

BR, Umar
