Thanks Jacopo.
I don't think the idea of 3 different clutches categories is going to
work. Because it gets much more complicated than just that. For
instance, we might end up with a category hierarchy such as:
Ford -> 1969-1979 -> F150 -> Clutches
Ford -> 1969-1979 -> F250 -> Clutches
Ford -> 1969-1979 -> F350 -> Clutches
Ford -> 1980-1987 -> F150 -> Clutches
Ford -> 1980-1987 -> F250 -> Clutches
Ford -> 1980-1987 -> F350 -> Clutches
Ford -> 1988-1994 -> F150 -> Clutches
Ford -> 1988-1994 -> F250 -> Clutches
Ford -> 1988-1994 -> F350 -> Clutches
It seems that you suggest just a flat-level selection of categories and
making products members of more than one category. Then you say I can
specify custom searches to include specific combinations like those
above. What do you mean by that? Am I creating search categories or is
this something that is configured within FTL files?
Thanks,
Scott

Hello,
If I have a category like "Clutches" and it has parent categories of "Ford", "Dodge", and "Chevy", is there
some way I can specify that a specific product only show under the Clutches category beneath "Dodge" and *not* show up under the Clutches
category beneath "Ford" and "Chevy"?
Thanks,
Scott
I would suggest to rethink the way the categories are structured and associated
to products.
There are of course different solutions but I would suggest something like this:
Product A
Product B
Product C
Clutches-->Product A
Clutches-->Product B
Clutches-->Product C
Ford-->Product A
Ford-->Product C
Dodge-->Product B
and then you can implement custom searches like:
* select products that are in Clutches and are in Ford (A and C)
* select products that are in Clutches (A and B and C)
* select products that are in Dodge (B)
Another option is to create three different Clutches categories:
"Clutches - Ford"
"Clutches - Dodge"
"Clutches - Chevy"
Kind regards,
Jacopo
