Hi All
Need a bit of help, hope someone can point me in the right direction. Been through the forums and haven't quite found what I'm looking for.
I'm creating a site that has four product/service types. It's an optometrist so the product types are lenses, frames, contact lenses and optometry.
My thoughts were to have a custom post type called 'products' with a custom taxonomy 'producttype'. This would make it easy for the customer to add a new product and select a producttype from the dashboard.
In the menu I'd like a page that displays all products (I'm ok with this i.e. archive-products.php) but I'd also like pages for each of the producttypes i.e. lenses, frames, contact lenses and optometry. This is where I'm stuck or even if it's possible.
I was thinking that perhaps I could create a page template(s) that calls the taxonomy of the custom post type. Would that work? Could it select the producttype from the page slug or similar?
Ideally I'd like to make it flexible so they could add additional product types later without too much re-coding.
Am I on the right track? Is there a better way?
Any thoughts or ideas would be appreciated.
Ian
