How to display 2 items from different catalogs on one page?

Postby atrok » Thu Mar 04, 2010 3:04 pm

HI,

Just wondering if anybody know how to resolve my issue - I have a need to place on one page 2 full-described items from 2 different catalogs which are linked with each other by one field. For instance,I have next 2 catalogs:
Car Description with set of fields (price color delivery options and so on)
and Base Car Features (technical car description) which is linked with Car Description by base_features field.
So I need to display a full Car Description along with its related Base Car Features catalog on the same Catalog Item page.
For a moment I wasn't able to get this, all what I've achived is to place Catalog Reference module for base_features field on the Catalog Item page, but in this case the only one field (one that's bound with Cat Description item) is shown, as opposite to what I want - to get all fields of second catalog displayed.
Does anybody have any thoughts on how to achive this?

You need to use the Catalog Related module, not reference (which usually refers to ANOTHER catalog, or linked/sub catalog like cities)
