All I did was go to this page:

http://www9.smith-consulting.com/

Then logged in with the username "Tester". I can only see one buynow model.

I didn't use any query string.

I just created a product called "Daniel". I created a category called "People". I made the People category have an SEO field called "people". Then I added the product "Daniel" to the category "People". Now browsing the test store and clicking on the People category should result in a single product ("Daniel"), but it does not. It shows all the products. Hence it is not filtering properly.

The product listing page of the cart allows you to filter products by category by passing the category id in the querystring but you have to use the following syntax in your querystring:

When the category id is passed in the querystring the products are filtered by category.

I have no idea what that means. I don't even know what a query string is.

I didn't use a query string.

I only used the existing store admin menu on your test site.

I just created a product through the admin menu. And I created a category with an SEO item. And I put the product into the category. And now the category is not working.

See for yourself: go to http://www9.smith-consulting.com/

Then click on the people category.

Every product shows up. This is not correct.

If you are using the cart category module then you dont need to worrry about passing the category id in the querystring as the category module filters products automatically. If you want to create your own category page or menu using the standard dnn html module and link to the buynow module you will need to pass the categoryid in the querystring to filter your products. There is a good explaination of what the querystring is and how to pass the categoryid to filter your products in the cart manual just do a search for querystring and you will find it there http://www.smith-consulting.com/Portals/0/docs/smithshoppingcartmanual.pdf

Also here is a good wiki article explaing what the querystring is:

Hi Dave and Scott,

Thanks for the help with this, but I don't think you understand my problem. It's quite simple.

Here is the problem:

The Category Module does not work when a category has a URL keyword. That is all.

I have proven this on the test site: categories with URL keywords do not filter. Please comment on this issue.

Regards,

Daniel.
