How would I add “Brand” to the layered navigation without having to add the attribute to the product












1















I want to add Brand as one of the filters, however when I do this - it also comes up as an option on the actual product. Is there a way to add the Brand information to each product and have it show up in the layered navigation without having it show up as a drop down on the product?

  • I'm not sure what you're looking for. You want to have the attribute brand be filterable but not able to edit it in the backend in a dropdown with products?

  • What @sander said. Are you taking about the drop down on the backend? Or you're seeing a drop down on your frontend product page?

You can set options for attributes in the Magento admin.



Like using it for layered navigation.
Also can check/uncheck if you want to show it on the productpage.



So go to Catalog / Attributes / Manage Attributes, open the attribute brand and try changing a few options.
