CafeWish categories script for premium shops.

I have been meaning to post about this fabulous little tool for a while. I always thought the one thing cool about basic shops was the layout - how the products are always in the same spot, in their category. It’s been a wish of many SKs for quite some time. Jim, a mod on the CP forums and the SK behind teesed.com has made this big wish a reality with his CafeWish Categories Script. I am behind on adding it to all the Lekker Shops, but you can see it in action at Lekker Politics - like in this section featuring super cool Barack Obama T-Shirts.

Here’s some of the things the category script can do: Organize products by category, change or turn off the “more colors available” graphic, find missing products in a section, “Browse by Category” just like “Browse by Product”, reorder or hide categories for specific sections (put women’s apparel first for a feminine design, baby apparel first for a baby design, etc.) & “Plus” account users can even create their own categories.

Setup is pretty easy. Theres a little piece of code you put in your section description that does all the work. It does add another thing to do when you add a new section or update a section, but updating is pretty easy and the code can be created for you by a tool available at the CafeWish site if you aren’t comfortable changing it for each section.

The plan is to eventually have the script in every section at our stores on CP. We’ll see how that goes :)
