Multiple Categories based on Attribute value?

[whodah]

Hello,

 

I've been searching, but can't find anything. Thought I'd ask before custom coding:

 

I'd like to assign an attribute called WYSIWYG (What you see is what you get) and products that have that attribute set show up in their typical category, plus a second category 'WYSIWYG'. I.e. if selling a "Red Rose", it'd typically be under the category "Flowers", but if the attribute called WYSIWYG is assigned because one has a photo of an exact "Red Rose" for sale rather than just the generic product "Red Rose", then the product "Red Rose" shows up in both the category "Flowers" and the category "WYSIWYG". 

 

Does anything like that exist?

 

Thanks!

Option 1:

Make a new Category called "WYSIWYG".

You would then utilise the "copy" functionality and copy the product into the WYSIWYG category...

 

Option 2:

Use a product groups addon, which bypasses the category structure.  

In this case you would set up a new group called WYSIWYG, and add the product to the Group.

 

 

 

Option 1 is built into osCommerce and has been since Day 1.

Option 2 is more flexible and more extensible, you need to find the addon and install it.
