merge products with the same attribute

ruudboy Total Posts: 6 Joined: 2012-12-09 Ignore user	Hi. I have products with the same attribute called “reference”. I want to show only one product if they have the same reference in the category view. I tried to change list.phtml with the following: `<?php $i=0; foreach ($_productCollection as $_product): ?> <?php $attributes = $_product->getAttributes(); if ( $prevReverence == $attributes['reference']->getFrontend()->getValue($_product) ) continue; $prevReverence = $attributes['reference']->getFrontend()->getValue($_product); ?>` This works but with this method I remove them to late because if a product page needs to show 20 products and i have 8 products with the same reference this method will show 12 products instead of 20. If i’m not clear enough please let me know.

These values are also in the value field. So products with the same name are excluded also. What i want is that `at_name_default`.`name` is unique but only when `at_name_default`.`attribute_id` = 179 (not 178 witch is the productname) The query is: SELECT `e`.*, `cat_index`.`position` AS `cat_index_position`, `price_index`.`price`, `price_index`.`tax_class_id`, `price_index`.`final_price`, IF(price_index.tier_price IS NOT NULL, LEAST(price_index.min_price, price_index.tier_price), price_index.min_price) AS `minimal_price`, `price_index`.`min_price`, `price_index`.`max_price`, `price_index`.`tier_price`, IF(at_name.value_id > 0, at_name.value, at_name_default.value) AS `name` FROM `catalog_product_entity` AS `e` INNER JOIN `catalog_category_product_index` AS `cat_index` ON cat_index.product_id=e.entity_id AND cat_index.store_id=2 AND cat_index.visibility IN(2, 4) AND cat_index.category_id='401' INNER JOIN `catalog_product_index_price` AS `price_index` ON price_index.entity_id = e.entity_id AND price_index.website_id = '2' AND price_index.customer_group_id = 0 LEFT JOIN `catalog_product_entity_varchar` AS `at_name_default` ON (`at_name_default`.`entity_id` = `e`.`entity_id`) AND (`at_name_default`.`attribute_id` = '63') AND `at_name_default`.`store_id` = 0 LEFT JOIN `catalog_product_entity_varchar` AS `at_name` ON (`at_name`.`entity_id` = `e`.`entity_id`) AND (`at_name`.`attribute_id` = '63') AND (`at_name`.`store_id` = 2) GROUP BY `at_name_default`.`value` ORDER BY `name` asc LIMIT 20
