I haven't tried this mod, but it seems as if it might resolve a problem that I have with my store. It would appear that there is a bug in ZC 1.3.7 (and 1.3.7.1) if one uses 'linked' products, in that in some circumstances a product's 'linked' category appears to take precedence over the product's master category - according to ajeh, it's a bug due to be fixed in release 1.3.8 but there is not ETA for 1.3.8!!
To explain - you might have a product A (of a series A;B;C...) in Master category 'Brand' which, for example, is linked to sizes 1;2;3;4; & 5 in the 'Size' category. You select the product via the Brand category menu, but the product appears with all the header info relating to one of the product's 'linked sizes', and the previous/next buttons take you to other products of the same size, not of the same brand!!
I have included the available sizes for all the products as product attributes, but the sizes are not found in a search by using the ZC search box - even in the advanced mode of the search.
I am sure that some of my customers would like to search my site via Size, so here are my questions - if I were to use the Hide categories mod, and include a Size category, but hide it, and then link my products to the size category:
a) I presume that the ZC search for items by Size will work
b) will it overcome the 'linked items' bug that I have described?
Or does someone know of a way to facilitate a search by attributes?
