Related products not displaying about shopify-theme-framework HOT 10 CLOSED

Update on this... related products do not appear when you visit a product on its own rather than vis a collection.

For example, if i click a product from the frontpage the URL is : STOREURL/collections/frontpage/products/PRODUCTNAME

The related products appears fine, however if I go to the the same product directly but not in a collection :

STOREURL/products/PRODUCTNAME

The related products are not visible. I believe this may be a bug with the related products snippet?

Hi Gariah,

I've seen this issue before in another theme. There must be something wrong with the way it's coded. Can you send me the link/password to view the issue on your store? You can get in touch with me directly at http://cam.vc/#contact

I have found the issue. It relates to the way the product loop links to the product pages. Related items don't work when the product page is not accessed within a collection, and the image is linked to the products direct URL (as opposed to the collection URL).

Try clicking the product name on the front page, as opposed to the product image, and you will see what I mean. Suddenly the related items show up!

I'll fix the code for the product loop and commit that as soon as I can. In the meantime, I suggest editing the product loop where the image is wrapped by a link, to reflect the link as it is for the product title.

To expand on my comment. Simply change {{ url }} to {{ product.url | within: collection }}.

I am about to commit the fixed files too.

No probs ;)

Just tried this and it solved the problem for the front page, how could i do it with the view all collections? i.e. collections/all/

Unfortunately that's a limitation of Shopify. You can fix it by following the steps at http://docs.shopify.com/support/your-store/collections/taking-control-of-your-catalog-page
