Title: How to display shop as drop down selections ?
Post by: irida on September 23, 2015, 13:01:02 PM
Hello everyone!!
I need help with the following.
I am working on a project using joomla 3.4 and VM 3.
My client wants to display the shop's frontEnd only in drop downs.
For Example i need a drop down to display categories names. Then depending on user selection must display the child categories in a drop down box ,if exists, in the same page under the first one and go on until user clicks the add to cart button.
How can i do that???

Thanks in advance

Maybe some filtering

I suggest using custom fields instead of subcategories for assigning additional attributes to your products

Thanks for the replay Balai.
I dont know if the filtering module will work beause the only think that need to display in the shop is drop down selections - no image -no description nothing -

This is just a filtering module.
The format of the results is not related with the filtering module but with the layouts (category layouts) you are using to display the results
