    Have you made changes to your database to record which toys are for biys, which for girls and which for either?

    You could create a "boy" category and a "girl" category and link the appropriate products into them. You could even have subcategories under "boy" and "girl" with products in them.

    For example, you sell toys and clothes. You could have a category "toys" with all the toys in it and one for "clothes" with all the clothes in it. Then create "boys" as a category. Under "boys" create "toys" and "clothes". Link the appropriate products from toys to boys/toys and clothes to boys/clothes. Do the same for girls.

    a moment I have categories in wich I have 2000 toys divided for example car toy, doll toy, ecc.

    My problem it is that the same toy so for example a doll it is a girl toy.

    So I would to create somethin that if I select girl toy, lists all girl toys included the doll.

    And if I search the doll in the doll product there is the fact that it is a toy for girl.

    But I don't want to duplicate the product for possibly SEO problems.

    @kuroi: i don't understand, how can I change db and for what?

    Thank to you in advance

    Your site can't recognize which toys are for boys and which for girls unless this information has been recorded somewhere in your site's database. You could do this through the categories structure, as afo suggests, or you would need to add an extra field to the products table, and amend the Admin functions that maintain this information to be able to set it when you add a new product.

    In the catalog you would need to create a new listings page, or amend one of the existing ones to make use of the new field in the database extract.

    There's no getting away from this being a programming job. Not an especially difficult one for somebody with the right skills, but certainly not a trivial one either. If you don't have these skills, I would recommend posting in the Commercial Help Wanted section of this forum.

    ok thank you

    also another question, then I have finished.

    In theory, if I add an attribute for all products, for example the attributes are
    boy
    girl

    and then if I buy the mod search by attribute and insert the relative link can I solve my problem?

    Could it be an idea, or not?

    If this it is wrong, I ask in commercial question

    That might do it, but I can't say, as I've never used that commercial mod.
