How to create a productlisting menu for a category

Hi,

This may be a simple question, however I wasn't able to find out how to do it.

I have several categories with products in it. When I open a product I want a menu to appear that contains all the products from the category the opened product is in.

When I open a product from another category, I want the menu to show the products from that specific category.

Any idea?

Hi Maurice,

So if I correctly understood when you're in a product's page, you want to display in this page a content module which will show the products that are in the same category ?

Hi Mohamed,

No not IN the content itself but at the sidebar where you normally publish other modules.

So if I'm in a product page display a menu (or module with a list) which shows all products from that same category.

Hi,

You can create a product listing module, you should see a default created one "Relateds products".
This module will display the products in the same category than the displayed one.

You can retrieve the configuration of this module on our demo website too.

Hi,

I've managed to create a product listing module that indeed shows the content of the category when I open a productpage. Thank you for that!

Only when I'm on the homepage it shows all products from all categories and it's a kilometer long (or so)

Is there a way to only show this module when a productpage is diplayed?

Hi,

By default you can set a module under the product page, but this module will no be displayed in the sidebar.
You can maybe find a plugin which call a module in a certain position when you use a tag on the product page.

Or in the Joomla options of the module, add a suffix class, like:

" id="onproduct"

<script>
document.getElementById('onproduct').style.display = 'inherit';
</script>
