Hi Wout, I have a product catalog which contains categories just like eBay. And every product under a common category has some common attributes like; vendor, type, size, etc. (again just like eBay:)) And in the front-end I want to provide a category browsing widget using this common attributes. I could create views for every possible subcategory but this does not seem feasible to me. Also the order of these subcategories could change; television>sony>40 inch could become television>40 inch>sony in the future. What I want is a flexible way of representing categories/subcategories and the products under them.
Thanks.
