Hi Guys,
I am using a Criteria based on:
- Recommendation Key: Popularity
- Recommendation Logic: Most Viewed
- I am also using additional inclusion rules for language and content type
-> Less than 10 items from the catalog actually qualify.
In the Design, I am facing some weird behaviors:
$entities.size()
-> gives me 1
if I just add
$entitiy1.id
$entitiy2.id
$entitiy3.id
$entities.size()
-> it now gives me 3
If I tried to call an entity that doesn't exist the Recommendation fails completely
$entitiy4.id
...
$entitiy11.id
-> Recommendation fails
It's the same If I use a loop:
#foreach ($block in $entities)
$block.id
#end
-> Recommendation fails
My questions:
- Is this by Design for this specific Recommendation Key?
- I don't have the same issue with other recommendations - I usually get an array of 100 with some of them empty
- Does the Design impact the Criteria Recommendations
- If I clearly call 10 entities in the Design, does the criteria create an array of 10 entities (I think not... I am just asking for confirmation)
- Is there any workaround to evaluate how many entities are available?
Many thanks,
Jerome
