categories/treatment categories/product???

Is it possible to have pages for both treatments and products under categories?
Eg

                         _____treatment
          category  _____treatment  ??=bookings??
                        ______treatment

                        

                          ____product
          category  _____product = shopping cart
                          ____product

Is there a module for this set up or is it easy enough to create?
Can someone please steer me in the right direction.

Bookings - -

If this is what I believe it is - then you will need to get crafty or another will with coding in a calendar type of script...

A new product type might be in order and you can look at the couple of other product types that are in a default install, check the tutorials/FAQ's and wiki for additional details about creating a product type

Re: categories/treatment categories/product???

Sorry for not responding (been in hospital).
The business is cosmetic medicine.
We would like to display four categories, Facial, Body, Relaxation and Products.
Under the first three categories would be sub categories eg, under FACIAL/wrinkles, acne, sun damage skin, etc,etc each of these sub categories would firstly decribe the cause of the problem and secondly suggest the different Treatments available to treat the problem area.
We will then sub category from each of these pages the "product", which in this case is actualy a Treatment . Hence the reason why we wish to rename the page "Products" to "Treatment". We will then supply a link to a bookings page.
Category/sub Category/Treatment/Booking.

The last Category is however the actual products that they sell, so we wish to display the final pages as just that, "Product"
Category/sub Category/Product/Shopping cart.

This is why I ask, is it possible to create a "Treatment" page on the same format as the "Product" page? or is there already a module that I can down load that will do the same thing.

I hope this better explains what I am trying to achieve.

As for the bookings Module, I have been reading some threads which talk about "Jombok" so I will have a look at this as the site grows??

Re: categories/treatment categories/product???

Ok, based on what you're saying I think that Zen Cart's built-in functionality should suit you just fine.

Under the first three categories would be sub categories eg, under FACIAL/wrinkles, acne, sun damage skin, etc,etc each of these sub categories would firstly decribe the cause of the problem and secondly suggest the different Treatments available to treat the problem area.
Sounds like you've taken care of this part of the system, as it's simply a category structure using Zen's categories.
We will then sub category from each of these pages the "product", which in this case is actualy a Treatment . Hence the reason why we wish to rename the page "Products" to "Treatment". We will then supply a link to a bookings page.
Category/sub Category/Treatment/Booking.
Again, also sounds like you've got this well in hand.
The last Category is however the actual products that they sell, so we wish to display the final pages as just that, "Product"
Category/sub Category/Product/Shopping cart.
So you want to be able to link to the product not only through the navigation described above, but also simply navigate the available products.

Almost seems like you ought to be able to create a shortcut to the existing product in a separate category... :smile:
