Was this information Helpful?

Please correct me if I'm wrong, but it seems the catalog of übercart is very basic. I want to allow customers to choose whether to sort products by alphabet or price and in addition to filter by another taxonomy (select a subset of manufacturers). Can the uc_catalog module be of any help here or is there no other way than replacing it?

I was willing to make this by myslef. I thought about using views but got stuck – seems there is no way of showing child categories of a category in views.
I'm not sure whether Taxonomy Lineage could be of any use here - it is not working with views in D6 yet.

Well... any tips how to start are welcome. Anyone done this?

Other questions:

  • Where can I set sorting by price for the built-in catalog?
  • Has anyone encountered a better module that would replace the catalog?

Re: Re: Advanced stuff in catalog - sorting and filtering

Is there a way to add extra filters? So at the moment I can only sort by name or price. Is there a way for me to sort it by a custom CCK field? Like 'designer'....!?

Re: Re: Re: Advanced stuff in catalog - sorting and filtering

Only if you don't use the default Catalog view. You'll need to implement your own use of Views - in Ubercart 2.x there is some good Views integration which wopuld allow you to filter by any CCK field you like.

Re: Re: Re: Re: Advanced stuff in catalog - sorting and filterin

Im using the advanced catalog module and was wondering if its possible to add an extra filter to the ones that are already there. Basically i have several product classes and im using catalog to have them in separate categories... this is so that the user can see the breadcrumb trail as to where they are and how they got there.

If i create a separate view, then i will loose the same styling and the breadcrumb trail. If I am able to replicate the same feature as catalog by just using views then I will do that... If you point me in the right direction.

Cheers
