[solved] How to set up one-to-many attribues

[mift99]

Hi all,

 

I am looking for a way to create product attributes, which will allow faceted navigation and proper filtering for my customers.

 

My challenge: I have cosmetic products which are suitable for different skin types. The Problem: a product can be suitable for none, one or more skin types simultaneously.

 

E.g.

Skin Types: Oil, Wrinkle, Dry, Sensible

• Product A: Oil, Wrinkle, but not for the rest
  
• Product B: Sensible, but not for the rest
  
• Product C: Oil, Sensible, but not for the rest
  

In the end, I would like my layered navigation to show a filter which says: oil, wrinkle, dry and sensible. The customer should then be able to click on e.g. oil and all the products which are at least suitable for oily skin should be displayed.

 

I am somewhat stuck, because the lists only allow Yes or No, but not a one-many relationship.

 

I would appreciate any tips or a module which will help me achieve this. Otherwise, my catalogue is kind of unbrowsable.

 

Prestashop: 1.4.8.2

 

Thank you guys in advanced,

Best regards Philipp

The solution would be to add hidden categories for those attribues and than use a filter module e.g. (http://www.presto-changeo.com/en/filter-modules/74-ajax-filter.html)
