Hello

Could anybody say how complicated it would be to implement a publisher
field like the (simple) categories of tt_products? I mean the original
categories and not the heirarcical extension.

Thanks for a hint.

David

If you use mbi_products_categories with mm tables then you could use an
additional category for each product which is the manufacturer.

manufacturer
-- name1
-- name2
-- name3

maincategory
-- cat1
--cat11
-- cat2
--cat21

You can use more than 1 tree of hierarchical categories connected together.

So product1 can have manufacturer name2 and the categories cat11 and
cat2, all at the same time.

Without mbi_products_categories you can write your own class which
derives from class.tx_ttproducts_category_base.php

This base class already contains most of the needed code.


Greets,

Franz

That sounds easy. But for Searching, is it easy, when the cats for the
manufacturer are on a separate sysfolder? The point is not to mix cats
and manufactuers ...

It would be the best to do exactly this. You can use the pid_list or
something new: pid_manufacturer and pid_category to distinguish between
manufacturers and normal categories.
This would simplify even the search where it would find manufacturers as
well as categories - all of them with the same code.
