What is the searchIndex for clothing and accesories? - amazon-web-services

i'm trying to import some products through Amazon API,
Now, i'm in the middle of a problem, i'm using the ItemSearch operation, and i know i can mix the searchIndex and the keywords, and I know there is a list of valid Search index SearchIndex list
But my question is, how i can get the closest to looks like the ASINS of this url http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=sr_nr_n_1?rh=n%3A2475895011%2Ck%3Awallets+for+men&keywords=wallets+for+men&ie=UTF8&qid=1385709391&rnid=2941120011
As you can see, in this link, the breadcrumbs says:
Clothing & Accessories › Men › Accessories › Wallets, Card Cases & Money Organizers › Wallets › "wallets"
So, i don't see nothing in the SearchIndex to seems like "clothing and accesories"
Thank you for reading.

SearchIndex can be set as "Apparel"

OpenCart 3 - Show all products in a category from a manufacturer by direct URL

[ Using Opencart 3.x]
I'm trying to make a link in the main menu to list products from a manufacturer that belong to a certain category.
Because i couln't find anything manufacturer related in the category controller, i tried to do it by also creating a category for each manufacturer like the text below, and then combining them into a link.
Manufacturers
Sony:
manufacturer_id = 13
manufacturer_category_id = 58
LG
manufacturer_id = 14
manufacturer_category_id = 59
Product category
tv_category_id = 60
The link i tried:
/index.php?route=product/category&path=59_60
But when i do this i get all the TV's from Sony, but also all the TV's from LG in the list.
Is there a way to do this right, so only all Sony TV's will be in the result?
There is no standard controller to make a link manufacturer && category. You don't need to create category for each manufacturer.
But! There is a way using standard OC3 filters.
Catalog - Filters. Here we creating filter, Filter Group Name "Manufacturer". Filter Values - "Manufacturer 1", "Manufacturer 2", ...(all your manufacturers). Save.
Catalog - Categories. Edit your category, which you would like to connect to manufacturer, i will call it "Your category". On the Data tab find Filters. Here, by entering first letters, select all filters ("Manufacturers" in your case), which you would line to link to this category. Save.
Extensions - Extensions - Modules. Find Filter, click Install, then Edit. On a filter module page set status "Enabled". Save.
Design - Layout. Find layout Category, click Edit. Add module Filter anywhere you want (for instance, under Category in Column left). Save.
Catalog - Product. Edit all product from a category you are working with. Editing the product, on the Links tab find Filters. Here, by entering first letters, select all one filter ("Manufacturer 1" in your case), which you would line to link to this product. Save.
That's all, go to "Your category" on the client side. There you will see a Refine Search module with the list of manufacturers. Check one of the manufacturers, click Refine Search. You will see the list on a products in "Your category" filtered by "Manufacturer 1". The URL is /index.php?route=product/category&path=58&filter=1. It's not a strict constant, if you adding new filters - order can be changed. But you can use it as a menu item link. Try. This should work.
Or you can use some other filter from Opencart Marketplace which can generate filtered pages with constant URL.

add custom product statuses in opencart admin

By default in opencart we have 2 product statuses (which we can use also in admin to filter products) - enabled and disabled.
I need to add a few more custom statuses, which will be just for my team which is working over the products (for example i want to add need description status, products with the custom statuses will not show in the front end (like disabled) so if the product is market with it, the team who is working on product descriptions will easy filter only the products that need descriptions).
I hope i explained clearly as well...Thank you...
If you look into the language file of product admin/language/language_name/catalog/product.php, there is $_['text_enabled'] and $_['text_disabled'], you can add $_['text_need_description'].
In category.php and product.php controllers you will find
$data['text_enabled'] = $this->language->get('text_enabled');
$data['text_disabled'] = $this->language->get('text_disabled');
Next to them, you can add
$data['text_need_description'] = $this->language->get('text_need_description');
You can check occurrences of 'enabled' and change accordingly. You also need to change the relevant templates and models.
In database, status is saved as 1 for enabled and 0 for disabled, you can save the value 2 for 'need description'.
When the products are fetched to be displayed to the customer on front-end, only the products with status 1 are fetched so you won't have to change that part.

Big Cartel: Method to remove a country from the shipping dropdown menu?

First post here, so let me know if I have omitted anything that's needed!
I'm trying to figure out a method to remove a country from the dropdown menu that is available on the cart page on our Big Cartel store, used for selecting the country of delivery.
FYI I'm not a developer, just a hands-on tech type person who helps run a small company.
I'll paste the code below that displays the dropdown. From my understanding, it is pulling the list of shipping countries via an array(?) called country_select.
As I don't have access to that array (confirmed with Big Cartel that I cannot exclude a country using their UI), is it possible to exclude one item when displaying the dropdown list?
<div class="cart-shipping">
<label for="country"><span>Shipping to:</span></label> {{ store.country | country_select }}
</div>
EDIT: hired someone who wrote a script to achieve this.

->click on add filter and add your colors "Red, Green, Blue...."
**Step2 (Adding Filter attribute to Product)**
Admin panel>catalog>products>edit product
->under the link tab there is a filter add the filter to product you want
eg if the product is red in color add "red"
->Do this to all product you wanted to be filtered.
**Step3 (Adding Filter Scope to category)**
Admin panel>catalog>categories>edit category
->under the data tab there is a filter add the filter you want to be displayed like "red, green etc.."
->Do this to all category you wanted filter to be displayed.
**Step4 (Enable Filter module or setting layout)**
Admin panel>Extensions>Modules
->Find Filter and click on install
->Now Edit the filter
->click on add module
->Set Layout to Category, Position to Content Top and Status to Enable
->Click on Save
Now you are done, In category you can see the filter feature in category,
If you still find difficulties you can follow the official documentation http://docs.opencart.com/display/opencart/Filters
Hope this helps.

Using breadcrumbs with django-filter, QueryDict trouble

I'm using django-filter to drill down and would like to create breadcrumbs for each item that was filtered. For example:
Price ranges:
10,000+
5,000-9,999
1,000-4,999
0-999
Bedrooms:
4
3
2
1
Each of the items under Price ranges and Bedrooms would be a link to drill down in a queryset.
I'd like to create a breadcrumb such as Price range 0-999 or Bedrooms 3 if the user were to click those links, and then show Price range 0-999 > Bedrooms 3 or Bedrooms 3 > Price range 0-999 when they click a second link.
The breadcrumbs should maintain order (the part I'm having trouble with) and work for any number of attributes. Clicking a link in the breadcrumb trail should apply the filter clicked on and all filters before it in the trail.
I'd like to create an empty QueryDict and then iterate through request.GET to build the QueryDict up as I output the breadcrumbs, but for some reason QueryDict iterates through its elements backwards (see the documentation).
What's the cleanest way to accomplish this? Does anyone know why QueryDict works this way? (I imagine there's a use-case I'm missing.) Any advice is appreciated.
keep track of the order in sessions. so when the first filter is clicked (eg 3 beds) store it. then if another one is clicked, build your bread crumbs from sessions. say the second one was 0-999 you'd pull any existing breadcrumbs (in this example you'd find the 3 beds) and then tack on the latest (0-999).
