    Hi,

    I am using the WP E-commerce plugin on a wordpress site can I can't seem to figure out how to structure my pages properly to conform to a categorised URL.

    Example, we have a site which has products, and those products have a primary category along with a sub-category. So the categories would look like so:

    (-): Primary categories
    (--): Secondary categories
    (--*): Product

    - Photos
    -- Colour
    (--*) Photo 1
    (--*) Photo 2
    -- Black & White
    (--*) Photo 3
    (--*) Photo 4
    - Videos
    -- Big
    (--*) Video 1
    (--*) Video 2
    -- Small
    (--*) Video 3

    So, if i browse to the page with primary categories - say its call 'ART', the URL should look like so: http://something.com/art

    This page would display a list of primary categories - Photos and Videos. The URLS for each would be:

    http://something.com/art/photos
    http://something.com/art/videos

    Obviously when once of these links are clicked on, you would be taken to the page with displays each of the sub-categories for the primary category. So if I go to http://something.com/art/photos, the page would then list 'Black & White' and 'Colour' sub-categories.

    Finally, clicking on the 'Black & White' category - which should have a URL like so: http://something.com/art/photos/black-and-white, will take you to all the products listed in that sub category.

    The final step would be to drill down into the product itself to view its details, so if I wanted to click on 'Photo 1' the URL should look like: http://something.com/art/photos/black-and-white/photo-1, or similar using the product ID instead of the product name.

    This is all very frustrating, and I don't have any experience with Wordpress, let alone the e-commerce plugin.

    The last point to note is that all primary and sub-categories need to have a image, which the plugin does support and I can manage to display after pulling down the categories from the db.

    I hope that all makes sense, and really hope that someone can shed some light on this.
