How to create filtered shop pages?

Dear Elise,

Thank you for your time and effort giving me an answer!

It’s more to the second part of your answer – separate pages displayed by criteria (not filtered by the visitors choice in widget areas, but mine from start :).

If I understand your answer correctly I can create pages based on criteras of attributes as well as tags. The criteria is that I of course need products that has the tags and attributes?

In that case; How do I create such a page? 🙂

Here is one example:
Since one item (e.g. a ring) can be an item that suits both woman and men I choose to not create category strukcture like Woman/Ring and Man/Ring.

Instead I created the category Ring and an attribute “To whome”. That enables me to put men and woman as attribute on one product instead of creating the same product twice (needed if I had Woman and Man as categories).

So in my case I’d like that from the top menu bar be able to call on a page that shows;
a) one page that shows all jewelry for woman (the attribute “To whome”=woman)
b) one page for rings for woman (category= Ring + attribute “To whome”=woman)
c) one page for necklaces for men (category= Necklace + attribute “To whome”=men)
d) one page for a tag (tag=romantic)
etc…..

The visitor shall not need to filter by widgets, instead I need the page filled with the right content from start.

Hope I made more sense now in my description 🙂

Many many thanks in advance!

Hi again,

Thanks for sorting the different things out for me! I now know the difference btw attribute and tags. I made it wrong for all my products :).

I tried to do a new page as you described in your answer. But I didn’t find how to make the grid out of tags. 🙂
I found the grid for categories that displayed a summary. See the file attached.

>> How do I create the new page with the products visible for “tags” as you described? (multi-tags)

Again – many thanks in advance!
Jenny

Thank you – very helpful for me!

Since I am a novice on the Front end editor – Do you have any tips on where I can find some documentation och video instructions on the different elements that are available?

Thanks!
Jenny

Thank you!

I need your final advise before I start re-structuring all my products and starts to build the pages of my site.

I am a bit worried that lack of skills makes me do a lot of more job that the system might provide me with if I just makes the right set-up.

1. I put all my jewelry in Categories (necklace, ring, bracelet) then I get a page automatic for that category showing all products/category

2. Since I need all jewelry to be displayed more filtered (as discussed above): I add subcategories for different types of products (Bracelet/Steelbracelet, Necklace/goldnecklace). That also gives me a page per subcategory automatic.

3. But since I need to display my products based on target group (man, woman, child) I add tags. I then get a page automatic per tag.

FINALLY MY Q: If my site always need to present products based on 1-3 above. E.g. In the top menu bar I want Woman and a mega-menu that displays all products for women per category or subcategory then I need to create product pages myself for all these variants?

Do I have my product structure correct as you can see it from the system point of view?

If you say Yes to the above – what is the smartest way for me to create my own product page with filter, the grid and the features that comes with the automatic pages?

Many thanks for a great support!
Jenny

Thank you!

I have now reorganized all but there is still a problem using several tags/categories as you suggested for the product grid.

If I combine the category Rings (I have 2 of them) with a tag unisex the result is not Unisex rings, but all three. There is no “AND” between them, instead bracelets with the tag Unisex are shown as well.

Se my 2 prt scr attached.

How do I put an “AND” between them so I can get a filter of a combination of tags?

Kind regards,
Jenny

Hi,

Thank you for a quick answer.

The problem combining the tags as you proposed “rings” and “for men” is that all products that has either the tag “ring” and/or either the tag “for men” are shown.

Meaning that all products for the tag “rings” and all products “for men” are shown in the grid.

In my case that will be bracelets and other stuff as well as the tag “rings” are used för jewelry for woman as well.

What I would like to have is an AND statement btw the tags. Like a SQL-statement that only those products that has BOTH “rings” and “for men” are shown. Products “for men” that doesn’t have the tag “rings” will then not be shown.

Are there any thoughts of that kind of development in your theme?

Kind regards,
Jenny

Hi,

I have done that but it requires a lot of tags 🙂

Best regards,
Jenny
