How to use the Dynamic Category extension for Magento 2?

Name: Dynamic Category
Brand: Wyomind
SKU: DC
Price: 245 EUR
Availability: InStock
Rating: 4.9 (31 reviews)

When using Magento default installation, products can only be assigned to categories manually.

With Dynamic Category, products can be dynamically assigned to categories based on product attributes.

This extension allows you to define product conditions (general and special conditions) for each category, as well as custom product positions and to select matching products.

Follow this guide to know how to use the Dynamic Category extension.

STEP 1: Define conditions on the categories

With Dynamic Category you can define your own conditions from:
productsCategories

Select the category for which you want to define conditions and go to:
Products in CategoryProduct Category Rules

General conditions

With Dynamic Category, you can define conditions based on product attributes.

Click on + in the Product Category Rules sub-tab.

From the product attributes list, select the attribute you want to create a condition for (color, size..).
Attribute Set is Clothing

Finally, click on REFRESH MATCHING PRODUCTS to get the list of all the products matching the condition.

Special conditions

Besides the product attributes conditions, Dynamic Category comes with very useful additional conditions that allow you to customize product conditions easily.

Product type
You can define a condition based on product types.
You can select one or multiple product types for matching products.
Product Type is one of Simple Product, Virtual Product, Downloadable Product

In promo
This condition uses the product price index table populated by Magento when the indexation process is over.
It verifies if any modification has been made on the product price through either catalog price rules or special prices.
In the case of promotions (catalog price rules), the reduced price will appear only on the frontend.
In Promo is Yes

Special price applied
Unlike the condition above, this one only verifies if a special price has been applied to the product for a specific period of time.
Therefore, any other price reduction or modification won't be included (for ex: catalog price rules).
Special Price Applied is Yes

Total child products quantity in stock
It is sometimes useful to filter configurable or grouped products by the quantity their assigned simple products have in stock.
Note that each simple product quantity is added to its parent product.
Total Child Products Quantity In Stock is 10

Replace matching simple products by parent products
Thanks to this condition you'll be able to replace a simple product with its parent, which will then retrieve the attributes previously stored in the simple product.
Regarding simple products that don't have any parent (orphan products), you'll be able to either keep or discard them.
Replace Matching Simple Products By Parent Products and Keep Orphans

Multi Stock Inventory

You can also define conditions based on Multi Stock Inventory attributes.

From the product attributes list, select the source or stock attribute you want to create a condition for.

Source: Source Name - Is In Stock
Source: Default Source - Is in stock is Yes
Source: Source Name - Quantity
Source: Default Source - Quantity is 100
Source: Source Name - Backorders (when using MSI Backorders only)
Source: Default Source - Backorders is one of Allow Qty Below 0

Stock: Stock Name - Salable QuantityStock: Default Stock - Salable Quantity equals or greater than 50

STEP 2: Import category rules

In the case where you’ve already created rules for a category and would like to assign those same rules to another, you can directly import them via the Import Category Rules tab.

All you need to do is to choose among the categories the one you want to retrieve the rules for and then click on Import.

In the Product Category Rules sub-tab will be displayed the conditions, which you'll be able to edit.

STEP 3: Index and refresh the matching products

For better performances in the frontend, products that match conditions are indexed in the native Magento database table.

Products are then retrieved in the frontend just like Magento default behavior and in the order that you have defined in the backend.

Because products may not match the defined conditions anymore (attribute has changed, the promotion has expired), they have to be refreshed periodically in order to update the product list in both the backend and frontend.

You have 2 ways of reindexing your products:

manually
automatically

Manually

You can manually index your products and categories from your Magento backend in:
productsCategories

Select a category and from the Products in Category tab, click on Refresh Matching Products to start the indexation process.

From a command line

You can also easily refresh all matching products manually by running the below command line:

wyomind:dynamiccategory:refresh_all

Note that the indexation is launched after the command line is run.

Automatically

The matching products are indexed for performance purposes.

Then, if a product does not match the defined conditions anymore, you’ll have to wait until the scheduled task is over (by default: every 24 hours) for the product to be removed from the list.

You can change the index settings in:
StoresconfigurationWyomindDynamic CategorySettings

Automatically Reindex Matching Products
Activate that option to reindex the matching products via a scheduled task.
Reindex Matching Products Every
Define the frequency of the automatic indexation in hours.
24
Enable Category Reindexation Logging
Activate to enable the categories indexation logging.

Note that the default Magento cron.php task must be configured for this to work.

Freqently Asked Questions

Pre-sales informations

Magento^® Open Source vs Magento^® Commerce vs Magento^® Commerce Cloud

Magento offers three variations of its product.

As their names have changed over the past few years, here is a recap:

Magento Open Source: previously Magento Community Edition (CE), is a free and non-hosted e-commerce platform.
Magento Commerce: previously Magento Enterprise (EE), is the paid version of Magento and offers support services.
Magento Commerce Cloud: is the paid version of Magento and offers support and hosting services.

License and domains

License validity

A license is valid for an unlimited period of time on one single installation

If you're using more than one installation, you will have to buy a separate license for each instance.
if you're running several domains on a same installation, you will need only one license for all of them.

Although your license doesn’t have a limited period of validity, your Support & Upgrade period does. By purchasing a module, you’ll be granted a 12-month support period for free. Passed this period, you will have to pay for a new one (see FAQ: Extend your Support period)

Domains pre-registration

You can pre-register your live domain to your license in advance.

Thanks to this option, you'll be able to get the module ready to use on your domain before it goes live.

To pre-register your production domain:

Go to:
mY accountLicenses & DOwnloads
Click on the Settings icon next to the module you want your domain to pre-register on.
Click on the link at the bottom of the page saying:
Do you want to pre-register your domain in order to be ready to go live?
Finally, enter your domain name and click on pre-register now .

Attention, this doesn't mean your license is activated. You'll still have to activate it on your new domain when the module is installed.

Testing environments

One license is valid for an unlimited period of time on one installation only. However, it is possible to extend or transfer your license in 2 cases:

If you would like to add your testing environments to your license.
In that case, it is possible to extend your license to an unlimited number of domains for free.
For mywebsite-staging.com or mywebsite-dev.com
If you want to transfer your license to another live domain.
In that case, the Support & Upgrade period for your license must still be active.

To be able to use Dynamic Category on both your production and testing environments, follow the instructions below:

Download Dynamic Category.
(see FAQ: Extensions download)
Install Dynamic Category on your environment.
(see FAQ: Modules installation in Magento or in WooCommerce)
Activate the license.
(see FAQ: Licenses activation in Magento or in WooCommerce)

Also, if you are managing a large amount of domains, please contact us so that we can automatically whitelist these domains.

And uncomment the following line:

<!--<preference for="MagentoVisualMerchandiserBlockAdminhtmlCategoryAssignProducts" type="WyomindDynamicCategoryBlockCatalogAdminhtmlCategoryAssignProducts" />-->

Modules activation

Extensions activation from the back-office of Magento^®

Once Dynamic Category is installed, you have to activate the license. For previous versions, you can activate the license from your back-office:

Go to your Magento admin panel. A message pops up at the top of the page.
If the message doesn't appear then you must check that:

1. The Adminhtml_Notifications and Wyomind_Core modules are well enabled.
2. The HTML output of the Adminhtml_Notifications and Wyomind_Core modules are not disabled in:
storesconfigurationadvanced advanced
3. The encryption key well exists in app/etc/env.php:
```
<?php
 return array(
 'backend' => array(
 'frontName' => 'admin'
 ),
 'crypt' => array(
 'key' => '1e8f3c6772b7a6a6689c3c8cefa4ccf0'
 ),
 /* ... */
 )
?>
```
Copy your activation key in:
StoresConfigurationWyomind Your extension

You can find your activation key in 2 different places:
- In the confirmation email that you received after purchasing Dynamic Category.
- In your Wyomind account:My account Licenses & downloads
Select Dynamic Category and click on .

A new page opens where you'll find your activation key (see below).
In your Magento admin go to:
StoresConfigurationWyomind Your extension

Paste the activation key in the Activation Key field and choose between the automatic (yes) or the manual (no) activation method:
- By choosing Yes, the connection to Wyomind license server will be automatic.
- By choosing No, you will have to log on to Wyomind license server yourself.
Click on Save config .
A message appears at the top of your admin panel. Click on that link:
Activate it now!
Copy and paste the license code in the License code field from your admin or simply click on Activate now!
Finally, refresh your cache, log out and log in back straight after, to complete the installation.

When the extension includes other modules, repeat the steps described above for each one, using the corresponding activation keys (each module has its own activation key).

Add another domain to your license

To activate the license on another domain (test, staging...):

Once the extension is installed on the new domain, copy your activation key in:
StoresConfigurationWyomind Your extension
After having saved the configuration, a notification appears. Click on Add this domain to my license.
A transfer request will then be sent to our team within an hour.
Once the request is taken care of, you will receive a confirmation email.
If your transfer request is accepted, you can use Dynamic Category on both environments at the same time.

Note that the order in which you activate your license on your domains does not matter. You can start with your staging/dev/local environment or with your live domain, the process will be the same.

Also, if you have loads of staging domains, or if you are an agency managing load of domains for your customers, please contact us so that we can automatically whitelist these domains.

Extensions activation from the CLI

Once Dynamic Category is installed, you have to activate the license.

For this, you can use the below command line (change the Activation key with the corresponding value):

bin/magento wyomind:license:activate Wyomind_DynamicCategory <YOUR_ACTIVATION_KEY>

To retrieve the list of all the available modules as well as the licenses status, please use:

bin/magento wyomind:license:status

Among the different status, you can find:

registered = your license is registered
pending = you need to run the activation command line
invalidated = the license has been invalidated due to a wrong activation key or a license infringement

To activate several licenses at the same time, use:

bin/magento wyomind:license:activate \
Wyomind_Extension1,Wyomind_Extension2 \
ACTIVATION_KEY_1,ACTIVATION_KEY_2

Dynamic Category Extension Keeps My Store Fresh!
As a Magento 2 user, I love how the Dynamic Category extension keeps my categories up to date automatically based on product attributes. It's been a huge time-saver and has made managing my online store so much easier. Definitely worth trying out!
Andrew Cattarin - Merchant - User for more than 2 years |Magento 2https://www.gamesmen.com.au

4th July 2021

Excellent Extension
This extension is very useful. We use it to create auto sale categories and categories for other attributes such as featured, bestselling, etc. A very useful feature is to be able to import the rules that auto select the products from one category to the others. It saves us lots of time. We highly recommend it.
Magento 2 Store - Merchant - User for more than 5 years |Magento 2

1st April 2021

Dynamic Category Works Great!
This dynamic category extension allowed us to create a very detailed backend with products filtered down to very specific attributes. By doing this, we allow products to use both the elastic search to filter products or they can go directly into the folder that already has all the filters applied.
Sal - Developer - User for more than 5 years |Magento 2https://www.trainworld.com/

This is a great extension and essential extension for every Magento store
As Ecommecrce agency we use this extension for most of our projects, Its simplify assigning products dynamically to their categories based on specific attribute values.

Easy & Most useful - Dynamic Category
It's been one year since I'm using Dynamic Category by Wyomind. Very useful & easy to use plugin.
Mannan Mughal - Merchant - User for more than 4 years |Magento 2

A godsend for those with grouped products
It works perfectly for grouped products with either visible or hidden simple products. It can properly match on simple product attributes and return the parent product, including for date based attributes like "new to/new from" and sales conditions - better than every other similar "merchandising tool" I had tested before this. Been able to use it for all sorts of scenarios including creating categories that are used solely so other marketing modules like "product labels" or "product highlight" and other "landing pages" that are unable to manage with grouped products. With this module, they can be pointed to "products in xyz category" instead. Anyone who has grouped products will understand the relief of that! There's the odd mystery and early on it was triggering too much cache reset when refreshing a category (with livemage), but considering every other "highlight" "merchanding" or similar tool out there is unable to accommodate grouped products, this is brilliant.

Saves so much time! I highly recommend
I cant count how much time this extension has saved me over the years on magento 1, I highly recommend to anyone. I definitely will be using the magento 2 version on my next magneto project. Thanks Wyomind!

Doesn't work, no support, no refund
I had the M1 version of this extension and used it without any issues. However, the M2 version has never worked properly. The does not automatically update categories on a schedule. I contacted support and they weren't helpful in resolving the issue. After spending thousands of dollars and 6+ months with our Magento SI trying to get this working, I gave up. I asked for a refund and it was refused.

Excellent Extension
I have used the Wyomind dynamic category extension on my M1 store for several years. This extension offers a great deal of advanced capability to add and remove products to categories based on the criteria that I define. This is particularly useful to update sale categories that change as products special price starts and ends. Thanks to this extension, I have been able to set up the criteria and not have to manually update the categories. I particularly like the flexibility in the attributes that I can use to define the categories' critera. I would recommend this extension.

Best Auto Category for MAg 2
Ive tried several and even bought and removed two other extensions that under performed and under delivered This is the best auto dynamic category extension i can find after extensive resurch and implimentations A few nigling things were corrected in upgrade and support was great when i needed it
MitchT - Merchant - User for more than 6 years |Magento 2

3rd February 2020

Incredibly powerful and flexible category extension
All of our products come into Magento 2 from our inventory system with one category each. But we also want these products in a sale category, or a category for a specific type of activity, or maybe a time-of-year category This dynamic category extension allows us to populate many different categories with each of these products based on any number of attribute combinations. It's a game-changer, it's simple to use, and works extremely well.
Matt - Merchant - User for more than 5 years |Magento 2https://backwoods.com/

Lifesaver for huge Magento 2 catalog
We started our migration project 1.5 years ago, when there were just 3 extensions like that on the market and after some tests, Wyomind dynamic category turned out to be most complete and stable. Can't even imagine what we would do without it.

Saves us massive amounts of time - I cannot fault the product
Ive used the dynamic category extension for a long time now and I would not use anything else - it allows me to automate tens of thousands of products. Thank you!

Life saving, Hundreds of Hour Saving
Listen you have to get this module and I will tell you why! First of When you have thousands of product on your site there are going to be Thousands of keywords you're going to rank for and as such you need to have really well designed landing pages for these keywords with the appropriate products listed there! The pros that I have seen with this extension 1. Its better that any splash page/Landing page extension out there. Reason being you have total control of the Meta data that is added to these pages From title to tags and you can beautify the category pages with it. 2. The module not only add the product dynamically to the desired category but it also update the category attribute in the product itself. So if you have an export module you can export the products based on the category this extension dynamically created 3. once the criteria you used to add it to the category changes then the extension updates the category attributes of the affected products. 4. you can use a ton of conditions for almost all of your attributes, is, less than, greater my favorite (contains) and much more. I don't even know what else to say about this extension ( but It is a solid extension, the most though through extension for Magento since Magento itself) Oh Yeah the have a killer Support team. I mean Killer send them an email now go outside come back in and you will see a response from them! Need I say more?

This is a revolution! Rules based category population. Want everything over $x, with red in the title, added in the last 90 days? Boom. Much more besides! Makes populating categories so fast.

Essential
If you're unsure whether to purchase this, I'd say go for it!
It's a delight - so glad we found it and this developer.

Amazing
Installation was nothing more that unzipping into the root folder and then flushing the caché.
The product is amazing, we had to create categories that could "search" keywords in the products. setup time was 15 minutes, no errors on magento 1.7.0.2

No longer while I waste hours with categorization!
This extension was easy to install for a rookie, and worked right away.
I had a of snag with the settings on a main subcategory, after a quick email with the developer they suggested it was the Anchor tag being turned on which caused it, upon turning it off it worked a treat.
The communication is strong and the extension works a treat.
Maybe even best of all,the developer offers an array handy free extensions as well.
10/10 will likely buy from again.

Great performance w/ 10k+ products
Works like a charm also with 10k+ products.
In earlier versions this extension only kind of virtually added the products to the categories, breaking compatibility with other extensions which required categories to be assigned to products the Magento native way (e.g. auto-related products based on the same category or multiple breadcrumb paths extension).
But with the v2 release products are really added to the category, making it the perfect extension for categorizing imports from large product feeds.
Thanks to the indexing in the background so far performance isn't an issue.

Create dynamic categories fast and easy
Great extension to create dynamic categories fast and easy.
Has many basic features and extra advanced filters to suit your needs.
Some advanced filters may be added later. Maybe also with the ability to combine manual added and dynamic products in 1 collection
Great work. And great to work with! Thanks Johan

essential extension for organising product with many category entries
This extension was the cheapest but most powerful and essential extension we use on our Magento stores. The solution is incredibly simple for assigning products dynamically to their categories based on specific attribute values. Should be a core feature of Magento.

Does exactly what it needs to
I needed a category on my website to display products within a specific price range, this did exactly that and more, for 29 dollars the time saving is so worth it! also saw a very similar extension at a much higher price that does the same features as this one.
