Help for Aimeos

Hello,
Im making eshop for christian bookstore and Im looking for solution how to implement authors of books.

In the beginning I created cattegory with author name. But I dont know how to display this information in list/detail view, how to select just name from many categories associated with item.

Question no1 - cattegories in this case is probbaly wrong way, or did I miss some simple workaround?

Now Im using suppliers for book authors. We need them also in clickable list in menu, not as usual suppliers - multiple selectable chcekcbox in form but more like categories.
I want rebuild template supplier-body-standard.php to have same look and functions as categories in tree-partial-standard.php, replacing checkbox for simple <a links.
But supplires chekcboxs havent links, they are filtering items with some script.

Question no2 - Is there some simple way how to generate url for supplier, which contain all his products?

Thank you.

Yes, suppliers are the best way to deal with authors for books.

This may be related to your next questions. There are no links because there's no component for product list by supplier yet. The suppliers in the catalog list view are only for filtering the products by supplier.

No, not yet. There's no component yet that displays the products of a supplier even if the data is already there.

Thank you for answer.
Please can you point me to the documentation which helps me with creating component for this?

Documentation can be found here:
https://aimeos.org/docs/Developers/Html ... components

You can also learn a lot from existing components:

We would like to add a supplier list component to Aimeos too. If you can provide a pull request on Github, we will merge it into the core.
