Hi
as asked in the title is it possible to create categories for manufacturers in manufacturer view.
F.e. I have the manufacturer "bliddyspam" and want to create categories "Shoes" "t-shirts" etc only for the manufacturerbliddyspam.
How do I do that??
Thank you

I'm just wondering if you could create two types of categories.
eg.. One for just shirts ( all shirts) and one for your Manufacturers.
Put your products into into both groups-- then create an extra menu .. one specially for the product grouping of VM - Categories and the other might have its own heading - Manufactures .. I'm sure you could purchase an extension that does this but the non cost way might be to create your own.
remember look here to see if there might be an option for new Categories - http://extensions.virtuemart.net/ (http://extensions.virtuemart.net/)
Hi,
I am not sure if I understand you right.
Do you mean that I could create a tree like this:
·Manufacturers
- Nike
- Puma
- bliddyspam
·T-Shirt
· Shoes
- Fila
This would be of course possible but its not a nice solution in my opinion. If you are very interested in Nike shoes it is good to have only categories etc. for this products type.
I was searching for modules that would do something like this for longer now but couldn't find any.

I think you need a filtering solution
Use the categories for the products categorization (Shoes, T-shrts..)
and assign manufacturers to your products.
By using a filtering solution you will get the relative manufacturers when you are visiting a category.
Check Custom Filters

Well yes but I am still not able as a customer to shop only for one brand.
I mean if someone is really intereseted in only one brand and want to check out which articles we have from this one manufacturer he can't do that with filters.
Also in regards to SEO I can't use filters as it would be necessary to write a text for the category.
I really wonder there is no solution for this in VM as it is something I can find in many other shops.
And also there is no plugin which would solve this.
Would anyone else be interested in this feature?
