Reorganizing products without creating new categories/sub categories?
We sell yarn, 5 different types. We also sell patterns, which call for specific types of yarn.
So we have a main category of yarn with the five different types listed:
Yarns
product 1
product 2
product 3
And we have a main category of patterns, with subcategory for pattern types:
Patterns
Sweaters
pattern 1
pattern 2
pattern 3
Hats
pattern 1
pattern 2
pattern 3
You get the idea.
Now, we've had requests from customers to browse for patterns by the type of yarn required by each pattern (that's right, you can't knit a hat from just any old yarn). We've considered setting up a new category/subcategory tree:
Patterns by yarn type
Yarn 1
Sweaters
pattern 1
pattern 2
But it's awfully time consuming. Is there a better way? An addon of some sort?
Thanks,
John
