Help for Aimeos

Salute everyone,

i'd like to have my products in sub categories of a categorie.
So i created under catalog the categorie and in it the subcategories.
Then i attached the products to the sub categorie.
> Categorie "kitchen" -> subcategorie "tables", and to tables i attached the products.

Is it possible, out of the box, to see all my products of the sub categories in "the catalog stage area" while im on the categorie?
I know i can attach the products twice in the backend to categorie and sub categorie and then its working but does it give an more elegant way to handle that?

I use typo3 7.6.x and aimeos 17.10.x
Many thanks

In the way you currently do it, you have the advantage that you have control over the product order in the listing.

The alternative is setting this option: https://aimeos.org/docs/Configuration/C ... sts/levels
It will aggregate all products from the sub-categories (up to the level you configure) into a combined product listing.

I'm having this exact same issue. I've edited the T3 template > Setup field to include:
... but nothing happens.

TYPO3 8.7
Aimeos 18.10.8
Aimeos_dist 18.4.0

Do I have the correct code/location?

"1" is only from the given category, "2" adds products from direct child categories too and "3" adds products from all sub-categories. Please keep in mind that if you have the same products in different sub-categories at different positions, they will be shown several times. This is a behavior introduced by MySQL >= 5.7

Hi,

First of all, thank you for the detailed reply & explanation!

I can confirm it works (!) but I have a new issue: sub-sub-categories.

Preamble: Assume the following category structure:

• Bikes
  • Road
    Mountain
    • Front Suspension
      Full Suspension

... and assume I only have 2 bikes in the "Front Suspension" sub-sub-category.

Using "1", I only see the bikes when I click "Front Suspension", as expected.
Using "2", I see the bikes when I click "Front", as well as "Mountain", as expected.
Using "3", I see the bikes when I click "Front", as well as "Mountain", as expected ... but I don't see them when I click "Bikes".

Just for fun, I tried entering a value of "4" and got:

ERROR: No catalog node for ID "16"

... So clearly there's a meaning behind the numbers.

Is it possible to have listing go an extra sub-category in depth, as above?

Thanks again,
-Scott.

Update!

After I posted, I set the value back to "3". Well, it's been a few hours since I did that. I returned to my workstation and reloaded the page for fun ... and guess what?! It's working!!!

Now, in the other "images..." thread I have, I spoke of a potential cache issue ... could that be the case here? I also changed the directory permissions for /uploads/tx_aimeos from 775 to 755 ... but that shouldn't affect viewing?

This is weird, so I created a 2 new products - 1 without an image, 1 with - and both instantly worked (minus the image, but that's another thread). I guess it's not cache!

Thanks!

The frontend output is cached until you clear the TYPO3 frontend cache or something else happens that clears caches (partitially) like saving a product in the admin interface. You can disable caching for development completely in the Aimeos configuration in the Extension Manager
