Imbedded links in listing

Good morning,

In an effort to take customers from one department to another within my booth, I want to add a link to a specific category (department). Not item, but category (department). Promoting from within so to speak

For instance, this item has a couple of links. https://www.bonanza.com/listings/Swarovski-Swan-Signed-1998-Breast-Cancer-Compassion-Brooch-Limited-Edition-Mint/[phone number removed]

One works perfectly, the other not, and I can’t figure out why.

Here’s what [URL removed]

The first link “Can I interest you in”, when you click this link, it takes you where it says “Showing 535 items …”, yet it is only showing 24 item and no next page or scrolling pages. That’s it, 24. What happened to the other 511 items?

The second link “I have thousands…” this one takes you directly to my booth first page showing all 2200+ items, and all items are visible via scrolling pages, as it should.

Can someone please tell me what I am doing wrong? I seem to be losing some hair trying to figure what the problem is.

Any and all help would be appreciated.

Happy Monday everyone!

I just tested this on my end and after clicking the first link we were directed to your booth and we see "Showing 535 products in “Health & Beauty” so it seems everything is working properly.

Let us know if you run into any other troubles with your categories.

HI jon,.. did you SC

cht..did you actually SEE 534 items or did it just say “Showing 534 items” but showing 24?

I think I see the issue… I experienced it early on in creating my booths. I think you may have exceeded the number of Custom Booth Categories. These all your top-level as well as your sub-category custom categories. Here’s a thread on this topic, with a response that I received from Tier 2 Bonanza support.

https://www.bonanza.com/community_help/Are_there_limits_to_hown_many_Custom_Categories_a_booth_can_have_

Note that once you exceed 100 categories… things may not function properly. From a quick look at your booth… I think you’re past that point. I experienced the same thing when I was setting up my store. The fix is to reduce your number of categories to the 100 range (I think I ended up with 102 and was ok).

A temporary solution is you could change your link to search based on a search keyword like [URL removed]

https://www.bonanza.com/booths/Once_Again?utf8=?&item_sort_options[filter_string]=perfume&item_sort_options[filter_category_id]=&item_sort_options[custom_category_id]=&commit=Go

By being category independent, it looks like that works properly. Of course, it also pulls up your other listings that mention “perfume” in the description text. Anyway,I hope that helps!

Thank you for this information ..but I don ’t have any custom catagories, nor do I have 100 of them. Did you try the link? If not, would you please try and see if you get same results as Margiecraft.

Interesting… I guess you’re just using Bonanza’s categories instead of custom ones? Regardless, I tested the link again. It did not work in Safari (just showed 1st 24) but it did work in Chrome and Firefox (showed multiple pages).

Thank you again for your time in doing this … so it appears to be a browser issue. Bonanza has got to make the site complete searchabe in ALL browsers.

I just looked at Swarovski Swan Signed 1998 Breast Cancer Compassion Brooch Limited Edition Mint, and went to the link to perfumes. I got 535 images. Didn’t count them, but there were many pages. So that one must be working correctly.
