Hi

I'm running dnn 4.6.3 shopping cart v:4.42 and I've got a page thats got the main shopping cart that has all the categories.

But now what i need to do is to create three other pages that will only display the categories that are relavent to each page.

What is the easiest way that i can do this without me having to duplicate the Categories and products?

for example:

remember the main product Catalog displays all this Categories

  1. Access Control - Hardware
    Cards and tags
    Data Convertor Boards
    Door Controller
    Expansion Boards
    Readers
  2. CCTV - Accessories & Peripherals
    Computer - Rack
    Computer - Tower
    Computer - Keyboards
    Controls - Video Matrix
    Enclosures & mountings - Brackets & mounts
    Enclosures & mountings - Housings
    Computer HDD - Standard
    Miscellaneous - Convertors
    Miscellaneous - Surge Protection
    Switch accessories
    Switches
    Transmission - UTP
    Video Servers - Encoders & Decoders
    Viewing Solutions - Audio Accessories
    Viewing Solutions - CRT
    Viewing Solutions - LCD VGA + Video
    Viewing Solutions - LCD VGA only
  3. CCTV - Cameras
    Analogue Box Day/Night - Hi res
    Analogue Box Day/Night - Med res
    Analogue Box WDR - Hi res
    Analogue Bullet - Day/Night
  4. CCTV Cameras - Network
    Box Day/Night - Megapixel
    Box Day/Night - Megapixel
    Bullet Day/Night - Megapixel
    Bullet Standard - Megapixel
  5. Optics
  6. Recording

and now I want to create 6 different pages with each page to dispaying its Category only and i don't want to duplicate the categories and products i need a way that can help me to filter the categories. i don't know if this makes sense.

Page 1 is already created its called product Catalogue

page 2 it will only display the following categories

: Access Control - Hardware
Cards and tags
Data Convertor Boards
Door Controller
Expansion Boards
Readers

Page 3 It will only display the following Categories
: CCTV - Accessories & Peripherals

Computer - Rack
Computer - Tower
Computer - Keyboards
Controls - Video Matrix
Enclosures & mountings - Brackets & mounts
Enclosures & mountings - Housings
Computer HDD - Standard
Miscellaneous - Convertors
Miscellaneous - Surge Protection

Why 6 shopping carts? It sounds like you could do what you want to with sub-categories.

6 shopping carts would mean that someone couldn't pick a computer rack and a door controller and pay for them both at once, from the same checkout.

Hi David,

Yes, it is possible to create a DNN page for a specific category.

After you add the BuyNow module to the page, when adding your category specific products there is the "Share products between catalogs" feature on the Product Setup page that can be enabled/disabled to share products between the BuyNow modules. You will want this feature to remain disabled.

When adding your Category in the Manage Catagories screen in the Admin menu, you also have the ability to enable/disable the "Share" feature which controls if your Categories are shared between your BuyNow modules. Leaving the "Share" checkbox will keep your Category isolated to that BuyNow module.

Thanks,
