Hello,

Unfortunately, there is no such functionality in the JCarousel plug-in.

Still, there is something that can be done, but it is not highly recommended:

Lets say you use this widget zone: "categorydetails_top"

Inside the file(check if it is overridden in the theme folder): Views/Catalog/CategoryTemplate.ProductsInGridOrLines.cshtml

find this line:

@Html.Widget("categorydetails_top", Model.Id)


and replace it with these:

@{
  var categoryIds = new List<int> { 2, 3, 4 }; // Inside the curly brackets you can list all category IDs, comma separated

  if (categoryIds.Contains(Model.Id))
  {
    @Html.Widget("categorydetails_top", Model.Id)
  }
}

That works great, but i've got an error when I try to add a second JCarousel with a different widgetzone for the rest of my categories. It works with ELSE command, but that's not what i want because i have more than 2 Jcarousels that i need to insert

Hello toanhnt,

in order for the code, you already have to work in version 4.0 you need to replace this line of code:

@Html.Widget("categorydetails_top", Model.Id)


with this line of code:

@await Component.InvokeAsync("Widget", new { widgetZone = "categorydetails_top", additionalData = Model.Id })

Leave the rest the same and everything should work normally.

Hello again toanhnt,

to achieve this, use the same line of code but change the name to the widget you want to use and add it underneath, like so:


@{
  var categoryIds = new List<int> { 2, 3, 4 }; // Inside the curly brackets you can list all category IDs, comma separated

  if (categoryIds.Contains(Model.Id))
  {
    @await Component.InvokeAsync("Widget", new { widgetZone = "categorydetails_top", additionalData = Model.Id })
    @await Component.InvokeAsync("Widget", new { widgetZone = "NAME_OF_OTHER_WIDGET_ZONE", additionalData = Model.Id })
  }
}


That is if you want to show them one after another, or if you want it on a different location you can call it separately like so:


@{
  var categoryIds = new List<int> { 2, 3, 4 }; // Inside the curly brackets you can list all category IDs, comma separated

  if (categoryIds.Contains(Model.Id))
  {
    @await Component.InvokeAsync("Widget", new { widgetZone = "NAME_OF_OTHER_WIDGET_ZONE", additionalData = Model.Id })
  }
}


Just have in mind that you can use the already existing widget zones for this to work.

Hope this was helpful.

Hello Valentin Kirov,

Thank you for your reply. What I mean is
how to add another widget zone under that but using different category ID for the new widget zone.
For example:

var categoryIds = new List<int> { 2, 3, 4 }
widgetZone = "categorydetails_top"
var categoryIds = new List<int> { 5, 6, 7 }
widgetZone = "example"

Hello again toanhnt,

in that case you should do something like this:




@{
  var categoryIds = new List<int> { 2, 3, 4 }; // Inside the curly brackets you can list all category IDs, comma separated

  if (categoryIds.Contains(Model.Id))
  {
    @await Component.InvokeAsync("Widget", new { widgetZone = "categorydetails_top", additionalData = Model.Id })
  }
}

@{
  var secondCategoryIds = new List<int> { 5, 6, 7 }; // Inside the curly brackets you can list all category IDs for the additional widget-zone, comma separated

  if (secondCategoryIds.Contains(Model.Id))
  {
    @await Component.InvokeAsync("Widget", new { widgetZone = "NAME_OF_OTHER_WIDGET_ZONE", additionalData = Model.Id })
  }
}



Where for the secondCategoryIds you specify only the IDs for the additional widget zone.
