Thread: Filtering by Category and Department?

What XML Package and what link structure would I use if I wanted to filter by say Yankees (Category) T-shirts (Department) ?

Anyone?

I'm not entirely sure what you are after. Can you please provide an XML package that shows what you want and identify what additional way you want it filtered so that we can both be looking from the same direction?

I don't even have an xml package in mind yet. I just want to be able to view a listing of products filtered by both a category and a section/department.

I would think that one of the xmlpackage pages is capable of this, I'm just not sure which one and what the link to it would look like. Would it be like /c-106-.aspx?s-45

If anything the link might be like /c-106-category.aspx?department=45 or /s-45-department.aspx?category=106. However, we're not there yet. You'll have to modify the XML package or create one from scratch that will do what you are looking for. There are no default packages that do as your asking. That is why I asked which package you wanted to start from. Once you have that you could then modify the SQL code and get the package to filter data as you want. I'm not really in a position to detail all the steps out for you or even to test this myself, but I'm able to work with you in figuring this out.

I don't think it would be too bad as far as the sql is concerned I'm just wondering about how the URL is going to look for SEO purposes.

The URL can look however you want it to; your code must be programmed to interpret whatever you put in the URL.
