keerik Posted July 26, 2012 Share Posted July 26, 2012 Hi, I'm building a webshop for spare parts for cars. It's 41 models of the same car. I have set the car models up in the catagories. Under each car model I want to have more catagories and subcatagories. And this are the same in every car model. 28 catagories with up to 20 sub catagories. It will be ALOT of catagories all togheter. Are there any way to do it smarter? Does the shop working with so many catagories!? (About 22900 catagories!!)

tomerg3 Posted July 26, 2012 Share Posted July 26, 2012 Having so many categories is not good for the use experience It would be much better to use a filter to narrow down results, rather than have so many categories. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keerik Posted July 26, 2012 Author Share Posted July 26, 2012 Ok, So how do you mean with filtering? I'm rather new in this! ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomerg3 Posted July 26, 2012 Share Posted July 26, 2012 Well, I assume all the categories are for different characteristics for the cars, such as year, tire etc... You could assign those as product features (or use hidden categories when you need to have a car have more than one option IE tire). Then you will let the customer filter based on all these options while staying in 1 category. You can see an example of our filter module at http://142ajf2.presto-changeo.com/category.php?id_category=6 The idea is to have many products in 1 category, and as the customer clicks on filter options, both the products, and the available filters narrow down.

I'm interested in this as well. Can you PM me a link to that same website? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
