Title: Deep links to vendors or categories
Post by: hemona on March 22, 2004, 14:34:35 PM
Hi,
I would like to be able to reference in my mambo content items links to all products from a vendor or to a category of products. In other terms, I am looking at a link such as "buy products from this vendor" or "buy similar product".  Users would automatically be redirected in the phpshop module with either the list of products from a given vendor or for a category.

Is phpshop offering such capability and how does it work?
If not such capability is yet available, what should I do in order to get this requirement in the roadmap?

Regards,
Antoine

Hello,

you can put in such links manually. Just copy a link to a deeper category into the text:

http://mambo-phpshop.net/index.php?option=com_phpshop&page=shop.browse&category_id=541a03b2b0e1b6dbd972e9f5af5ca992

To reference to a special vendor just paste such a link:

http://mambo-phpshop.net/index.php?option=com_phpshop&page=shop.browse&vendor_id=1

A MamBot for content items doesn't exist yet - maybe one could code it?
ciao, soeren
