Product Categories
Permalink 1 user found helpful
Hi,
What is the easiest way to setup product categories in the core commerce? Is it a case of setting custom attribute which represents the category for all products then ticking the appropriate one, then requesting this in the product list block? Or is there an easier way!?
thanks for looking!

you might get better results if you post in the ecommerce forum,
just go to the addon's page and look on the right

This is how I do it:
1) Create one or more product attributes of the type 'select'. Each attribute will be a separate category type. For example if you were a nursery you might have categories for: Plant type (e.g. trees, bushes, flowers, etc.) one for color, etc.
2) Select values for each of your products in each of the categories. Products may have zero, none, or many values in each category.
3) To create a catalog page that shows the products matching a given category: create a new page, add a product list block to it, select "A stored search query" for "Get products from", click the plus button and add one of your categories, check the box(es) for the category values you want to match.
I have a client that creates websites for companies in a particular market. This is how we set up his sites. Using the example above, for example, we might set up a "Shop by Plant Type" page and under that a page list with links to pages that have all the "Trees", "Bushes", etc. Some of these sites have hundreds of products, so we have written code (a job) to automatically generate all of these pages based on the products that are available.
