I have a list of products like this:
product1 collection=avanti category=kitchen
product2 collection=cellum category=bathroom
product3 collection=brodi category=kitchen
product4 collection=avanti category=kitchen

product1 & product4 have the same collection and category but I only want to show one. How can I filter out the products with the duplicate collection/category?

I hope this explains what i am trying to do.

thanks

Hi IronVictory,

Can you just limit your results to 1 with:
'limit' => '1',

Do you want to display one one on the website or prevent users from select more than one of the same combination on the backend?

hi Dave,
What I want to do is only display one for each collection. So in my example, on the live site I want one "avanti" to show along with a "cellum" and "brodi" - even though there are two avanti products. Limiting 1 seems to only show 1 total. Does that make sense?

Hi IronVictory,

How many products do you want displayed on a page? And does the viewer need to automatically display new collections or can we hard code it?

We could use multiple viewers to show one "avanti cellum", then one to show one "avanti brodi". Would that work for you?
