Hi!
In the PID of Products, with cat=1 for example, it works perfectly. I have 2 personal product_types, is it possible to make a selection on it, and how ?
Thanks,
Best Regards,

Hello -

I've never used a Product Type before in VM, so I'm not sure why you would use that set up instead of a Category. I've always used multiple categories.

Perhaps you could give us a use case? The scroller is designed to work with the category organization.

I'll try to translate my aim.
My products are flowers. So, I have 2 categories which are the 2 kinds i want to use.
My first category is "Tradition". I completed, the name, the price, the image for each product of this category...
My second category is "Original". I completed, the name, the price, the image for each product of this category...
I want to select all the roses for example. So, I created un product type "Nature", set to "roses" for some products, in all the categories.
I want to select the products which are "roses", even if one is from the "tradition" category and the second from the "original" category.

category product_name product_type Product_type_param
tradition flower1 Nature roses
tradition flower2 Nature tulip
original flowerA Nature tulip
original flowerB Nature roses

tradition flower3 feeling love
tradition flower4 feeling thanks
original flowerC feeling thanks
original flowerD feeling love
The first carousel should show flower1 and flowerB.
The second carousel should show flower3 and flowerD.

If you have an idea, I take it.
Thanks

Understood, but why not just have nested categories like we use here on CorShops? A Category could be used in place of the product type and then you are set. That is the piece I can't quite see. Why does the top-level have to be a product type when the Virtuemart Category structure will allow unlimited nesting?

I used product_type because I needed 2 caracteristics I didn't have. So, if I can affect a second category to a product, that's good... but I don't know how to do that.
