sorting by keyword

[kaje]

I know you can create a widget that sorts by keyword however I wanted to have a drop down box that would allow the visitor to select from within the page and not on the sidebar.

For example I have a page that has all dog checks. There are doberman checks and Labrador checks and pug checks etc. The all are displayed in a grid format.

I'd like the visitor to have the opportunity to select from a drop down sort box "labradors" then only have the labrador checks be displayed instead of showing all the dog breed checks.

How/can this be done?

Hi

Yes, this can be done. You just put the code that would appear in a widget into your Category page view.

Thanks Eric.

Two other questions then. First, for a breed like Labradors there are products with different title keywords like Lab, Labs, Labradors. Is there a way to set multiple keywords to one search parameter?

Second...how do I take the list code that would be in a widget and convert it to the drop down menu in the category page view?

This is an unrelated question. Please post this issue in a new thread as per posting rules.

You could just add a text module to your CATEGORY PAGE and then display the widget of your choice in that text module by linking to the widget like this:

[DFR:widget/my-custom-widget]
