Aloha, I am translating a catalog (like a paper one) to prestashop. The database however lists several (say 10) items under a common name. Most of the items are features but not all are and I do not know the actuall feature value (say red). I guess when they compiled the database, they just threw everything randomly in the description of the item. I only have a description, picture, manufacture #, etc for each item among a common name. I could create a subcateogry using the common name and use the desciption for the actual item name, but this is rather confusing and looks bad. I am looking for an edit which would recognize that several items have the same name (so I could group them together that way rather than in a subcategory) and then displays them all under that one name in say radio button style with short desciption, manufacture #, etc similar to a catalog. I can recompile the catalog in which ever possible combination for import into prestashop. Please contact me if you are interested or perhaps have a better idea how to group them. Thank you, ~kai

Aloha, I am translating a catalog (like a paper one to prestashop. Everyting is going actually really well but I do have one particular issue. The database I am using (very large and lots of categories) lists several (say 10) items under a common name (most of them are features of the main item but not all are) and I do not know the actuall feature value (say red). So I can not use features. I only have a desciption for each item. I could create a subcateogry for each name and use the desciption for the actual name, but this is rather confusing and looks bad. Is there an add on module which would recognize that several items have the same name (so I could group them together that way rather than in a subcategory) and then displays them all under that one name in say radio button style with short desciption, manufacture #, etc ? Or perhaps someone else has a better idea? If my desciption is confusing think ordinary paper catalog with one header for 10 items, and then 100 headers per category, etc etc. Appreciate any help on this problem. Thank you! ~kai
