    Filtering Categories by user defined fields

    uCommerce Support

    Hello,

    I modified the default category definition and I added a user field called "Classification". The field is an enum which values can only be "By Brand" or "By Product Type". I am trying to create a catalog page where you may have all the categories marked "By Brand" in a slider and the categories marked "By Product Type" in a list.

    I cannot figure out how to look through all the categories marked as "By Brand", using an XSLT.

    Has anyone tried to do something similar before?

     

    Thank you

    Hi Frank,

    You can do something along the lines of:

    <xsl:variable name="category" select="CommerceLibrary:GetCategory("myCatalog", "myCategory", true())"/>
    <xsl:variable name="categoriesByBand" select="$category/category/childCategories/category[properties/classification = 'By Brand']"/>

    A trick is to output the XML structure using a xsl:copy-of in a textarea. It makes it much easier to figure out how to grab certain elements from the structure.
