Catalogue Templates

The catalogue module makes use of Silverstripe's templating system so you can add new Product types easily and then setup associated templates.

Adding new templates

Default templates for "Product" and "Category" are provided in this module's "templates" folder.

Once you add new products types, you can use custom templates for them by adding a template of the same name as your Product object to your theme.

Template Variables

The catalogue module provides several variables to Controller. These variables should be available globally and accessed via:

$Catalogue

Currently the catalogue variable provides the following additional variables:

List of categories

You can pull a list of categories at any time, and then stipulate the parent ID for this list, if you want to generate a list of categories in your template as navigation, then you can use the following code:

<ul>
  <% loop $Catalogue.Categories %>
    <li><a href="$Link">$Title</a></li>
  <% end_loop %>
</ul>

List of products

You can also get a list of products at any point by calling:

<% loop $Catalogue.Products %>

<% end_loop %>

You can also add the ID of a parent category for this list as an argument.
