How to add a new catalog to the merchandise store

[Former Member]

Hi,

I'm using the base merchandise store and would like add a link in the navigation bar that would point to a category in a new catalog.

I would like to know the steps needed for that. Here is what I've done so far:

• Added my catalog to the base store.

• Added navigation node to the store in WCMS. It point to a category in the new catalog

• Added navigation bar component in the navigation bar. It's linked to the navigation node above.

The link appears when I browse the site, but I get the following error:

404 Page Not Found Category with code 'categorycode' not found! (Active session catalogversions: newProductCatalog.Online, hybrisProductCatalog.Online, hybrisContentCatalog.Online)

So I'm obviously missing a step. Any clue what is missing? Do I need to index my catalog with solr?

Thanks, JC

It ended up to be a permission issue. Giving proper rights to customergroup fixed the issue :)

First of all U need to add principals(e.g. customergroup) to the newly added category. After that the navigation node you added needed Navigationbarcomponent & Linkcomponent which are needed so the node will work.
