Manufacturer List by category

[heyciao]

Hi all,

a question.

 

Is it correct if I clone each manufacturer into category then assign products to that category, so that I could find Manufacturer organized by Category (and handle the top menu with correct nesting)?

 

An exmple:

I sell wedding dresses, all white.

The topic differences are all in the brand-manufacturer.

 

I have brands of Haute Couture Brands, Classic, and Pret a Porter.

These are three categories I can assign product to.

 

Or should I go hacking the categories page in order to show brands before/instead of products?

 

I know there is a module addon "clone manufacturer to categories", so I'm not inventing nothing new, but in my mind categories are categories and brands are brands, and it sounds like a workaround because a funcionality is still missing.

 

On the other hand I found also people in the forum writing code in the categories page, and the final result is still a work in progress, after lines and lines, also because, modifications can be always challenging in case of system upgrade.

 

What's your suggestions?
