Re: A question on sub-categories
This WebDNA talk-list message is from 1997
It keeps the original formatting.
numero = 11589
interpreted = N
texte = >If you have a product in some type of category. That product has 2 types, >colour & size, each of which can create an individual item. So, instead >of displaying say 30 products in the standard format, it would display >the product including description, then the differnet combinations of >colour and size as line items.One way is to create 2 databases that have a field in common, such as SKU. This is called a relational database because the 2 are related by the common field text. You can then nest searches so that you loop through all the subcategory information for each 'major' item.---- Major.db ---- SKU Description Price 123 Tennis Shoes 55.00 401 Blue Jeans 65.00---- Minor.db ---- SKU Color Size 123 Red 12 123 Red 11 123 Blue 12 123 Blue 9 401 Stone 34 401 Relaxed 34 401 Relaxed 36So to see it all listed by major product:[search db=Major.db&neSKUdata=0] [FoundItems] [Description], $[Price]
[search db=Minor.db&eqSKUdata=[SKU]] [FoundItems] [Color], [Size]
[/FoundItems] [/search] [/FoundItems] [/search]Notice the interior search looks for a different SKU each time based on the value of the outer search's current value of SKU. This nesting causes the interior search to be performed once per major SKU. The output looks like this:Tennis Shoes, $55.00 Red 12 Red 11 Blue 12 Blue 9 Blue Jeans, $65.00 Stone 34 Relaxed 34 Relaxed 36Grant Hulbert, V.P.
