One product in two categories different default attributes


Recommended Posts

Hi,

 

is it possible to show one product in different categories with different default attributes. I'm afraid that, in default does not. Is there a module for this solution?

 

Many thanks for reply

As far as I know you would need to duplicate the product and then add the different attributes to the product. Because it's essentially the same product just showing in more then one category, so in order to display different attributes you would need to clone the basic info so it looks like the same product but actually it's 2 different ones.

Thank you for your reply. I'm afraid you're right. In our shop we are selling coffee (whole bean and Nespresso capsules), and I would like to add one type of coffee to Coffee category and Capsules category. It's one coffee type only in different packages.

Having duplicate products in not a good idea, as search engine will penalize you for it.

 

There is no built in way to change the default combination based on the category, however, you could write a little script that will change the selection in the front end based on the category,

 

I'm not sure that is the best approach though, and it would require some hard coding and good scripting knowledge

Such as adding new attributes, des.
