In Shopware 6.5, managing product listings efficiently is crucial for providing a seamless shopping experience. However, there may be instances where you want to exclude certain categories from your product listings. This guide will walk you through the process of adding a “not in categories” condition to your product listings.
1. Issue
You have a specific requirement to exclude products belonging to certain categories from your product listings in Shopware 6.5.
Solution
To achieve this, you can use filters to exclude products from specific categories. Take a look at the step-by-step guide to add the “not in categories” condition:
-
Define Category IDs to Exclude:
First, identify the category IDs that you want to exclude from your product listings.
2. Create Filter for Each Category:
Use the identified category IDs to create filters for each category. This can be achieved by mapping the category IDs to `EqualsFilter` instances.
php
$categoryIdFilters = array_map(static function ($categoryId) {
return new EqualsFilter('product.categoryTree', $categoryId);
}, $categoryIds);
3. Add Not Filter:
Combine the category filters using a `NotFilter`. This will create a condition to exclude products from the specified categories.
php
$categoryIdFilters = array_map(static function ($categoryId) {
return new EqualsFilter('product.categoryTree', $categoryId);
}, $categoryIds);
4. Apply Criteria to Product Listing:
Finally, apply the criteria with the not filter to your product listing.
Example Implementation:
Here’s an example implementation demonstrating how to add the “not in categories” condition to your product listing:
php
// Define category IDs to exclude
$categoryIdsToExclude = [1, 2, 3];
// Create filter for each category
$categoryIdFilters = array_map(static function ($categoryId) {
return new EqualsFilter('product.categoryTree', $categoryId);
}, $categoryIdsToExclude);
// Add Not Filter
$criteria->addFilter(
new NotFilter(
NotFilter::CONNECTION_AND,
$categoryIdFilters
)
);
// Apply criteria to product listing
$productListing->applyCriteria($criteria);
“`
Replace `[1, 2, 3]` with the actual category IDs you want to exclude.
