Related products by attribute while excluding categories

    I first tried to ask my question in this thread: Thread: Related product by Atribute which looked related; but after reconsidering it (and seeing that I got no answer there) I decided to start a new thread. So here it is:

    What is unclear to me is how to get related products by a specific attribute and at the same time discard results that come from specific categories (eg the same category as the product)

    Here’s a scenario:
    I have an eshop selling cameras and camera accessories. I want the related products that appear on a camera page to include only lenses with a compatible mount. But I do not want the related products to display camera bodies; Only lenses.

    So this could be done by displaying related products by attribute (lens mount) but excluding results in the camera bodies category.

    So how is that possible? If at all of course.

    The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

    Hello there, sorry didn’t have the chance to get back to you yesterday.
    Anyway, I am sorry to say that this is not possible at this point but I will add it to the features request.

    What I can do to help is to give you a “custom” version of the plugin which will exclude current product’s category from the related products query.

    Problem is that I am not sure I can handle that today as I am off for a WordCamp tomorrow. If you can wait until next week I don’t mind to edit and send it to you.
    Of course, If you have an alternative go for it don’t wait for me.
    Thank you.

    Hello,

    Thank you for the reply!
    Um today? who said anything about today? Next week will work fine!

    Truth is I’m not sure there is an alternative (at least none that I’m aware of) so I think I will wait for you to return.

    Thank you for the help and appreciate all the help.

    When you get the time to prepare the custom version, please point me to the documentation that describes how to make the relative products to be produced based on an attribute. I seem to be missing that.
