Admin Add link to product from category pop up Mod

[fooster]

One of the biggest changes for us from the old 8.x way of finding products in msx 9.x was an inabilty to click on a product name from the category pop up to go to that product (ie edit a product directly from the category pop up).

well I finally got around to changing this. Open Admin/Controls/EntityProductMap.ascx

replace line 88 (this is the name column) with the following:

<a onclick="return confirm('In order to edit this product you will lose any unsaved changes on this category');" href='<%# String.Format("entityEditProducts.aspx?iden={0}&entityName=CATEGORY", DataItemAs<AspDotNetStorefrontAdmin.Controls.ProductEntityMapInfo>(Container).ProductId.ToString()) %>'><asp:Label ID="lblName" runat="server" Text='<%# ML_Localize(DataItemAs<AspDotNetStorefrontAdmin.Controls.ProductEntityMapInfo>(Container).Name) %>'></asp:Label></a>

Now you can click on the name of any of the products in your category listing and the pop up will show the product.
This change is probably not for everyone but its very useful as an alternative way of getting to a product- I have lost count of how many times i have wanted to be able to make a quick change to a product from that category page!

This is wonderful. We used those entity list links all the time when doing mass updates to related items. Even with the related items helper, sometimes it's easier and faster for our store to just open a bunch of items in a new tab!
