JoomShopping extension links products by shared characteristics
A new extension for JoomShopping 5+ provides a semi-automated way to link products through shared characteristics, helping administrators create logical product groups while retaining manual control over the final relationships.
The extension is designed for catalogs that need more flexible product relationships than those provided by a standard Related Products workflow. Administrators can use an existing characteristic—such as model, series, volume, or type—to find products that share the same value.
The linking process is semi-automatic:
- An administrator selects the characteristic used to form a product group.
- The system filters the catalog and displays products with the same characteristic value.
- The administrator selects the products that should be linked.
This approach reduces the effort needed to locate matching products without making the relationships fully automatic. The administrator remains responsible for deciding which products are included in each group.
The product flow assigned to an individual item is continuous. This provides an automatic connection between related products and allows the flow to be adjusted from each product to which it applies.
The extension is intended for JoomShopping 5+ installations. Further details are available on the extension page.
