alwayspaws Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 These are just a few of the subcategories that have both USA Made and non-USA Made products and I need to distinguish which are which, especially because the customers (in the USA) look for USA Made. Parent category is "home" Dog Clothes - main USA Made - main Dog Dresses - subcategory Dog Hoodies - subcategory Dog Tank Tops - subcategory How do I arrange the products without creating duplicate content? Do I create image urls like the below? https://www.alwayspaws.com/images/USA_made/dogclothes/dogdresses/example-dress.jpg; dog_clothes/dog_dresses/example-dress.jpg Or how to handle this, please?

Havouza Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 I would do it like Dog Clothes/USA Made/Sub Dog Clothes/Non USA Made/Sub The image question I really don't understand. TD will still place them in its weird system Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alwayspaws Posted April 26, 2017 Author Share Posted April 26, 2017 The problem there, although it looks like a good suggestion, is that it will make non-USA made stand out more, which I don't want to do, because I don't want to limit my sales. About the image question, it is the URL I need to add to my csv so it uploads like I usually do it. I have nine subcategories just in my dog clothes section and each section has several other subcategories. Any other ideas, Anders? Here is the site: https://www.alwayspaws.com/ Thanks!

Havouza Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 If you have the image in two different places yes but do you? When I upload products I just set the link to the image folder. Where the products end up does not matter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alwayspaws Posted April 26, 2017 Author Share Posted April 26, 2017 I don't have the image in two different places because I don't want duplicate content and that is the problem. I need to show each item, say a black hoodie in both USA Made and in the Dog Clothes / Dog Hoodies area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Havouza Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 But the image link in the csv only show TB where to find the image to process Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alwayspaws Posted April 26, 2017 Author Share Posted April 26, 2017 It is the category and subcategory thing that I need to figure out first. Then I can use the same image links for both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alwayspaws Posted April 26, 2017 Author Share Posted April 26, 2017 USA Made is complimentary if you're in the USA. Non-USA made looks derogatory. I was going to eliminate any products not made in the USA but I have a manufacturer who makes wonderful dog clothes and toys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Havouza Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 That is something that cant be solved I think before the shops contain Artificial Intelligence Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alwayspaws Posted April 26, 2017 Author Share Posted April 26, 2017 Well, my jewelry is all USA made and so are the collars and leashes, but some tee shirts and hoodies are made outside the USA. There has to be some way to do this. When I go to upload csv, it says you can't have the same name twice. That's sort of the problem. "Note that the Category import does not support having two categories with the same name. Note that you can have several products with the same reference."

Havouza Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 But the USA/Tee shirts and Non USA/thirts is not the same, or... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dprophitjr Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 @alwayspaws Use the features set. How about "Country of Origin" and child items of USA, Etc, Etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alwayspaws Posted April 26, 2017 Author Share Posted April 26, 2017 @Havouza There are a lot of subcategories. Correct, it's not the same, but I don't like how it looks. It's like Cyprus DOCTOR OR NON-Cyprus DOCTOR. It doesn't look good. I used that as an example because you're in Cyprus. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dprophitjr Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 @Havouza Setup features. Turn on blocklayered for that category. Now they can click to see ONLY shirts that are made in country xxx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alwayspaws Posted April 26, 2017 Author Share Posted April 26, 2017 @dprophitjr I'm sure it will! Can you please tell me how you got the link to my youtube channel when you originally posted the link? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dprophitjr Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 I was grabbing the link to this video that is in my channel. I got the wrong link. So, that's why it probably took you to your channel. My mistake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alwayspaws Posted April 26, 2017 Author Share Posted April 26, 2017 LOL. I still don't get it but it's not like it's a big secret. Still I'm glad the link is no longer in here, until I'm ready to share it. In any case, fyi, I'm 80% deaf from five y.o., so I speak more or less normally. Except when it comes to Siri who has about seven different names for my dog. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dprophitjr Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 Just click pause and rewind many times. Give me a week and I'll write up an article that explains with screen shots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alwayspaws Posted April 26, 2017 Author Share Posted April 26, 2017 I do that all the time when watching TV or youtube that has captions. Otherwise, I'm not watching tv or videos - I'm reading them. Miss out on a LOT. Facial expressions, etc. That's a nice offer, but thirty bees needs you for other technical stuff. If I have a real problem, I can ask you. youtube captioning is sometimes wild!
