Hi there, I am trying to write a bit of code to grab the top level store categories so that I can use it in my own custom menu system, and I have tried messing around with the objects:
  DotNetNuke.Modules.Store.Admin.StoreController
  DotNetNuke.Modules.Store.Admin.StoreInfo
  DotNetNuke.Modules.Store.WebControls.CategoryMenu
and a few others and I cannot seem to find this list of store categories. Or where I can set the Default Category in code on a Page_Load() for that matter.

Can anybody please give me a hint as to where I can get hold of this list in my c# code?

Thanks,

Lindsay.

Hi Lindsay,

Could you specify which Store version you use?

Hi Lyndsay,

05.05.01 is the version number of your DNN instance not the one of the Store module. Please go to Host > Modules Definitions, you should found the Store version number used in the module list.

The default category setting is not designed to be used by the Store Menu module but by the Store Catalog module. When the Store Catalog module (Catalog.ascx) is placed on a page, in the OnInit event the query string is read. If the CategoryID param is defined, products from the corresponding category are loaded then displayed. If the CategoryID param IS NOT defined, the default CategoryID is read from the Store Catalog module settings, then a redirect is done with the CatagoryID param in the query string.

The Store Menu module is able to higlight the selected category or the default category simply because the CssClass is changed if the CategoryID is equal to the CategoryID param from the query string.
