I am tring to see if this system can handle a commerce system. I am unsure how to setup so that when the product is clicked by category it would only show that specific Category.

Sample what I am after here.

First link is the new products that I have added in.

Second link is how I want to try to display the products (3 Across and max 6 per page.)

I know how to link them individually to do a full product description.

Is this system possible? If not I can just use an Ecommerce solution.

Hi hegadmin,

You can create a pulldown field for "category" in your product section and then filter using the built in search options: http://www.interactivetools.com/docs/cmsbuilder/viewer_search.html

Either in the url like this: viewer.php?category=1

Or in the code like this:
'where' => " category = 1 ",

Hope that helps!

ok but does not answer how do I get the menu side to work. I need it where if I add a product it does not add that category more then once.

Cause what I am after is ability to list unlimited types of products say Mice, Keyboards, etc.

And have on the side menu Mice, Keyboard only come up once.

Then if I go to say products.php?category-mice <-- shows all the products with the category of Mice.

Or I do products.php?category-keyboard <-- shows all the products with the category of Keyboards

This is all new to me so sorry to be a pain

Do you need products to be in multiple categories or will products always be in just one category?

I was going to figure out how to do multiple Categories but it seems confusing. LOL.

I am have another issue with:

I need to know when I create a page with pagination ( page 1 2 3)

I setup that information in the table I want it in. How do I prevent the other information from disappear that is not list List Page but is Detail Page.

Once I click on page 2 all the other information in the other cells disappear.

Do you have a sample url that shows the problem with pagination? And can you attach the viewer file that has the pagination code in it?

Thanks!
