I wanted two grid catalogues and my site and achieved it using views and taxonomy:

1. Go to Categories (taxonomy) and create a new vocabulary called product type (yoursite.com/admin/content/taxonomy).
2. Add to it two new terms (in your case "mens Jewelry" and "women's jewelry")
3. Edit all you existing products so they have one of these terms applied to them.
4. Now create a new View which mimics the appearance of the catalogue grid (You can use the Grid View in Bonus Views to help achieve this).
5. Make sure your view has a "page View". In the URL field of the page view box, enter "taxonomy/term/$arg" (even though the text of the URL Field tells you not to do this).
6. (Optional) if using the Grid View module, enter "$view->gridcount = 3;" in the Argument Handling Code box to display a grid with 3 columns.
7. Now you can make menus links which refer to the URLs of your taxonomy vocabulary terms (created in step 2). When people click on them, they will have a catalogue-like view.
8. (Optional) If you don't want the vocabulary terms appearing on your product pages, edit your theme to remove them (Link).

I had to use Taxonomy terms for my site as I was not using product classes. However, it probably should be possible to do the same thing using product classes (which would probably be better for you, as it would save steps 1-3). I haven't tried it myself so you'll have to experiment.

You can see the result on my site here:

Brand is the default ubercart catalogue, but size and type are Views that mimic the catalogue.

Getting closer to success.

Looks like one can not make a product class called women's jewelry. The fields are not the same as with the default product class. i.e. no images field, etc. Unless there is a way to clone and made a second product class that is the same as the default product class.

However, your method works well if using additional content types. As in men's jewelry. Used views and the bonus pack to make a grid and a little CSS to center.

How did you achieve the two levels in the 2nd catalog? Did you use taxonomy blocks to have as an example Pearls and then under Peals list eight pearl jewelry items with separate images for all?

The first level has to have short names as in Pearls, Garnet, etc as there is not room for a long title. The 2nd level has room as there is no gird at that level.

Here is the URL of the site. http://www.alaskahandmadejewelry.com/ This is how the 2nd catalog should look like.

This is setup using the default catalog as the second catalog has not yet been added.

Yes, I did notice that there is a way to add fields (image, etc). Thought that perhaps it should be the same as the original product filed without having to go the extra mile or a way to clone the orginal. Using Uber 1189 on the test box.

Am I correct to assume that there is only one catalog and that a second catalog can not be added? Or is that a wrong assumption? And if a 2nd catalog is needed one can be made to look like the default by using views bonus pack with grid and views.

The idea is to have 2 catalogs. One for Men and one for Womens. The Women's would be the home page. And both the men and women catalogs would be accessible from the left sidebar menu.

Tried Kitty's suggestion and it did work and the page looks like the default catalog page. But got stuck on making the 2nd level products to show up.

Thanks for the suggestion.
