Title: tags in VM 2.0?
Post by: morktron on December 15, 2011, 01:27:16 AM
Hello, just wondering if there is a way to use tags in VM 2.0?

I know we can have the same products in multiple categories but the then we'll have to have a long list of categories which would not be ideal.

Maybe there is way to do it using extra fields?

Great thanks for your reply :)

Yes I've found custom fields but could not get anything to work, I selected "Custom Field Type" and chose a custom field, it says "Product successfully saved" but still nothing is listed. If it did work then please give me any advice on how I'd go about creating tags as a custom field.

I did find "Available Search Fields" in Configuration > Configuration > Product Order Settings . This looks very promising indeed! In fact it's even better than tags. I can't work out where to enable it though.

The tooltip says "Choose the Search-by fields for the browse page. Each one defines a search method for the product browse page. If you deselect all, the Search-Form will not be shown."

I can't find anywhere to enable the search for the browse page, your assistance would be much appreciated. I'll make some YouTube tutorials if i can work it all out...
