[spree-user] Spree Site Architecture (lots of questions/confusion)

I've been posting on here quite a bit, and for that I apologize. I'm a first-time spree user and relatively new to rails, but I know my way around rails pretty well. I wanted to make sure I was organizing my site properly. I apologize in advance for the length.

I'm building an ecommerce clothing store with three primary taxonomies: women, men, and kids, and then several static pages, such as about, locations, etc.

Within each primary taxonomy I have multiple taxons, such as pants, shorts, shoes, etc. I'm trying to build my site so that when you visit http://mywebsite.com/women you will be taken to a page with all of the taxons in the women taxonomy. Once on that page you can click on pants and it will take you http://mywebsite.com/women/pants which will display all the womens pants. Pretty straightforward.

Spree however is confusing me. I currently have a 'women' action inside of 'controllers/spree/home_controller.rb and right now I'm just pulling all products onto that page with @products = Spree::Product.all.

I'm not really sure where to go from here. Do I create another action called 'pants' inside of the home_controller and in my routes.rb file just do a match '/women/pants' => 'spree/home#pants'?

Or am I going about this wrong?

How do I query for only the products within the 'women' taxonomy? And furthermore, how do I query for products only inside the women => pants taxon?

Thank you. Again I apologize for all the questions. I'd be happy to compensate someone if need be.

Hi, not sure if this what you want. You can create children taxon named
pants under women taxonomy. Once created, you can access through
/t/women/pants

It would be really easy to copy Spree::TaxonsController to do what you
need. Your route would end up looking something like this:

match '/women/*id', :to => 'my_taxons#show', :as => :my_nested_taxons,
:root_taxon => 'women'

Then in your version of the controller build the taxon permalink by
combining the root_taxon and id.
