"Find more..." links to related categories.

[g1smd]

I'm looking for an add-on that does the following:

It will be a box that shows only on product pages (and perhaps on review pages too). If you have any other suggestions as to where it should show, please also note that here.

I'm assuming it will show on the right of the screen, but actually I am easy on the placement.

The core logic will use the current page "products_id" value and will look in the database to find all of the category numbers the currently-viewed product belongs to, as well as the names of those categories.


The box will display links to all of those categories in the form:

Find more...
* Widgets
* Gadgets
* Doodads
* Special Offers
* New Products

Where the category link is actually pointing to a sub-category, I think there might need to be an Admin option to allow the prepending of the name(s) of the parent category(ies) in the anchor text, so that the links still make sense.

In the Admin section, there will also need to be a selector to enable/disable a link to the "New Products" category, or else some extra logic to say to only include the "New Products" link if the curently viewed product is "newer than x days" (where x can also be specified in the Admin section).

I guess there will also need to be an Admin selector to enable/disable the link to "Special Offers" too, as perhaps some sites would not want to duplicate that link.


Is there anything out there that already does this?

Anyone?

Nothing that I have seen does this but it isn't hard to pull the categories_id from the products_to_categories to build a sidebox for this ...
