    Multiple Grid/List in a DocumentType

    Hello,

    I want to show 2 grid/list layout in one document types. For example, in one document type, I wanted to show - list of Products in one tab and list of Categories in another tab.

    I tried to achieve the same using document type composition, but didn't worked as expected. Here is what I have tried:

    1. I have one document type called - Products that show list of products in one tab.
    2. I created another document type - Categories that shows list of categories in one tab
    3. In Products document type, I tried to inherit Categories document type through compositions which didn't worked.

    Can someone please guide me on how can I have 2 (or more) grid/list in one document type. If not, what is the closet and practical approach to this?

    Thanks in advance.

    Bumping up this thread. Here is what I am trying to implement. I have page in back office with 2 tabs. I want to show a grid in first tab and another grid in second tab.

    Below is sample representation.

    enter image description here

    Is it possible to have similar implementation? Any help will be appreciated.

    Hi,

    As you have figured out the listview is just another way of showing children.

    There is no easy fix to implement multiple list. Attempts has been made before https://our.umbraco.com/forum/extending-umbraco-and-using-the-api/87938-customized-list-views-and-filters

    The biggest hurdle is that you can’t filter the content serverside, so you can’t “get 10 items for list a” and “get 10 items for list b”, but have to “get 10 items” and filter the items clientside — ending up with “9 categories and 1 product” on page 1.

    A first step could be to allow filtering in the resource that fetches the children.

    Another method could be to just create a hidden list that handles the default, and just render your own views instead.

    Hello Soren Gregersen,

    In the absence of multiple grid support. What are the common workarounds that are currently performed to achieved this?

    What are the other best workaround to manage this?

    Thanks.

    Hi,

    I don't know what workarounds are out there. Since it's not (easily) supported, it's never been a requirement in the projects I've worked on.

    You could implement all of this in a custom section, but it will leave your content tree a bit cluttered. (ATM) Umbraco only supports nodes that live in the content tree.
