Hello,
I have another scenario that I would like to find out if it is possible for smith cart to handle.
The context:
My webstore will be sellling musical products (electric guitars, acoustic guitars, drums, trumpets, etc.)
I will create a page containing a unique buy now module for each of the 10 general top level categories. (Guitars, Bass, Amps/Effects, Drums, Pro Audio, ETC.)
Each buynow module will contain a unique category list, based on the products being sold by that top level category.
Example:
Guitars (top level category, unique buy now module)
Electric Guitar (1st-sub category)
Solid Body (2nd-sub category)
Hollow Body (2nd-sub category)
Starter Packs (2nd-sub category)
Acoustic Guitar (1st-sub category)
6-string (2nd-sub category)
12-string (2nd-sub category)
The problem:
I want my customers to be able to shop the categories listed above AND to be able to filter their results by Brand at any time, but after much searching, I have found no way to "filter" your currently displayed products by brand.
The question:
Say a visitor to my webiste selected Guitars~Electric Guitar~Solid Body in my category menu, and then wanted to filter those results by brand. Is it possible for me to create a list of links or radio buttons that would add a filter to the currently displayed products, in order to filter the products by the brand they selected?
I could add each product to multiple categories (example: Guitars~Electric~Solidbody, Brand~Fender), which would make it possible for me to specify what brand each products is, but how could I take advantage of this setup using the Category Menu?
Post question thoughts:
I'm sure there is multiple ways to go about this. I'm also aware that this might not be possible with Smith Cart. If not, can anyone think of a category structure that would allow a similar functionality, while not creating a MASSIVE category menu list?
Thanks so much guys !
