Use fields as category in products

[kasperbirk]

Hi.
I have installed products(the module products) and need to make it a little more flexible. Is it possible to make a sort of subcategory. It would work using fields but then i need something lige {Products myfield='myfieldvalue'}. Can that be done?

Is there any, predefined menu templates, that generates a menu out of my products created?

Thanks

Do you want a product be in more than one "sub-category" at a time? Are you already assigning Hierarchy positions? If not, than that would might be a good solution.

You could also just name a sub-category something like "Parent Category - Sub Category". Not very pretty, but depending on what you need, it could work.

It depends what you want on the menu and where you want it to be. That can make a big difference as to what is possible. As far as I know, there aren't any pre-defied templates out there, but it might not be too hard to modify an existing menu template to fit what you need.

Iam now started using hierarchy, and its seems to work. But i still need to make a view, like a menu, where the user can see alle the nodes in the hierarchy. Is this possible?
