I am trying to make a page that shows the products a salon sells from different manufacturers. The way this will work is like this:
The overall products page will list all of the Manufacturers that have products assigned to them. Once a manufacturer is clicked it will take you to a page that lists all of the products that the salon sells for that Manufacturer (grouped by category).
I am normally pretty good with views and I have each view page setup already. The main page which lists the manufacturers and the secondary page which lists all of the products (grouped by category). My problem is linking the manufacturer name on the main page to a filtered version on the secondary page only displaying the products that the salon sells from this manufacturer.
As of now I have it where when a manufacturer is clicked it just goes to the page and lists all products (grouped by Category) even if the products are from different manufacturers.
Would it be contextual filters that I have to use? I know this is a lot to read I am so sorry it has been a while since I've done something like this.
Below is how my 2 content types are setup (below them are the fields):
Manufacturer
-name (title field)
-logo
-url path to website
Product
-name (title field)
-manufacturer (node reference to Manufacturer content type)
-product image
-product category
