J-BusinessDirectory - Company type, Category and Sub-Category - not sure which to use for

Support Forum

 
 

 

I am now setting up my J-Business and I am not sure about the right structure.
What exactly is Company type used for?
And what for I can use Categorys?

Do I understand it right that company type is another type of Category in some way? Something like a Top-Level Category?

You set up different categories where business listings are related to.

 

Check the documentation here and its a lot of info here: https://cmsjunkie.com/docs/jbusinessdirectory/businessdiradmin.html#id7

Okidoki, thanks for the links. Read it again and is my understanding is right?

 

Company defines the general "Main Category" or Industry e.g. Automotive

And with Categorys I can specifiy this more deeply and these Categorys will be used for offers and more too?

E.G.

Car - Builder

Car - Seller

Car - Spare Parts

 

In my understanding I can than leave Company type unused and work with Categorys ans Sub-Categorys only, right?

Hi Markus,

 

Yes, Type and Category aren't related, so you can set Type on Not Show in General Settings -> Attribute Configuration
