Sharing product between categories

Hi, I just installed OSCommerce and am curious if it is possible for categories to share products. My reason for this is to provide multiple ways for the user to navigate to any given product.

 

My current static html site does this-how would I go about doing it with OSCommerce?

currently there are 2 ways to browse

via categories

via manufacturers

 

If you want to add a 3rd way, you could define a new field, eg suppose you have designers, and an item can only have 1 designer, then you could add a designer field, a table with the full list and duplicate the manufacturers code.

 

If for instance you are just looking to put little selections together, eg like gift ideas for him / for her etc, you are much easier/better of by copy linking the products into these additional categories.

That's standard functionality. I've done this on keukenlust.com see the Gift Ideas section, all these products have there proper home category somewhere else

KEEP CALM AND CARRY ON

I do not use the responsive bootstrap version since i coded my responsive version earlier, but i have bought every 28d of code package to support burts effort and keep this forum alive (albeit more like on life support).

So if you are still here ? What are you waiting for ?!

 

Find the most frequent unique errors to fix:

grep "PHP" php_error_log.txt | sed "s/^.* PHP/PHP/g" |grep "line" |sort | uniq -c | sort -r > counterrors.txt

You choose the product in your admin then click on the copy button then copy it to whatever other category you want it in. You should link the products so that if you need to change the price it will change the price in all the categories with you only needing to do it once.

The Knowledge Base is a wonderful thing.

When you copy it gives you a choice to link or duplicate. Chose link
