Map A Category To Filter Listing Of Products

Store Builder Questions
1

Can we some how create a Category where we map it to Product listing based on a filter ? E.g. If I want to list all the products in a category which are worth 10$ so if some one clicks on that category then the products are listed who have a value = 10$.

2

Is it required to use filters? You can add ?price_from=10&price_to=10 parameters to the category url. E.g.

http://demo.cs-cart.com/electronics/computers/tablets/

http://demo.cs-cart.com/electronics/computers/tablets/?price_from=499&price_from=499

Just create new menu manually. You can do it on the Design -> Menus page in the admin panel

Hi Ecom,

What if this has to be done in the case of adding an option to the Category Menu, on the vivashop theme ?

Is that possible?

I do not see any reasons why it should not work on the 3rd party theme

We can only list categories in the vivashop menu and they are automatically created when a category or sub category is created, How will we map it to a filter so that when we create a subcategory the filter url is mapped to it. Please explain ?

Do you want to say that there is no ability to create custom menus in vivashop?

Menus can be created but we cant add them to the category menu, those menus display at the top of the page only.

Sorry, I am not familiar with vivashop theme. But I know that our specialists did custom menu for several projects. Please address this question to the theme developers

energothemes replied only about the blocks with type Categories. This block has automatic filling.

You should use the custom menus as eComLabs suggested. Please refer to the following articles for more details:

Actually we want these menu items to be part of the category menu only. Is there any other option using hooks etc which we can code at backend to add these values or any other way ?

This subcategory will be created under a main category like

Clothes > Shirts > Full sleeves

> Half sleeves

> Shirts for 4.99$

> Shirts for 9.99$

> Trousers > Trousers for 4.99$

> Trousers for 9.99$

> Blazers ....etc.
