Inheriting Related products
Hi,

I have a requirement like this

- Parent Product
- Product1
- Product2
- Product1


I want to attach related documents to Parent Product and want every Node inside it like - Product1, Product2 etc to inherit those related documents from the Parent.

Is it possible to achieve this directly from the product?

Is there any way around. I have like 500 products catalogue and most of them share a common related documents. Doing it manually will be difficult for the form contributors.

Thanks,
Chetan

Hi Chetah,

Thank you for your message.

Unfortunately to achieve this you would need to create additional global event handlers ( http://devnet.kentico.com/docs/devguide/event_handlers_overview.htm )
Which would fire whenever you create and update document -> You would check if the document represents SKU and if yes you would get the object of parent Node and get all his related documents (which are stored in CMS_Relationship ) and then assign them using ObjectRelationshipInfoProvider Class to the current node.

Regretably I dont think there is a easier way than this.

Kind regards,
Richard Sustek
