I think it would be more usefull if you can create it to filter eg. screen size, graphic card, procesor etc.

If you manage to create that i would defenetly buy one.

I assume you mean by attributes.

How would you want to see it work, list all the possible attributes that are assigned to products in the current category?

Hi tomerg3,

Good work. can you add category and to the filter.. i.e brand, category and price range.

That is the plan for the next step, how would you see this working though?
I'll be happy to hear as many details as you have.

Not by atributes but by preducts features.

As i think, best principle of work would be to hook it next to currently sort selection dropdown box just as it is currently here: http://presto-change...sl;=&pr=500-999

And to offer filtering of all that is present in that particular category.

Only thing that shud be somehow configurabile is what featuers shud appear to be filtered in different categories.
Eg. if i open category notebooks than there shud be filters like 1. screen size 2. cpu 3. vga etc.
but in monitors category we dont need eg. CPU filters but we might need filter for type of connectors like DVi or VGA etc.

You do know that for that purpose you have categories, no?

And this is filtering module, not search module!?

[eshop2k9]

Hi VIXUS,

It's good to have filter functionality in search page as well, users would able to filter the search results / narrow down by selecting price rance or brand or sub categories etc.,

reason to have categories filter, able to filter the products by category, brand and price range

Ex: category --> accessories (laptop battery), brand-->toshiba, price range 0 to 120 USD something like that

[VIXUS]

Well all that can be achieved with smart use of categories and subcategories...
You dont need any special filter for that.

I have just finished version 1.2, which includes:

Filter by Multiple Categories and Sub-Categories (example at http://www.presto-changeo.com/124)
Filter by all Categories and Sub-Categories in 1 drop down (example at http://www.presto-changeo.com/123)
Filtering on Manufacturer page.
Filtering on Supplier page.
Filtering on Search page.

[tomerg3]

I have just finished working on version 1.3, it includes the option to filter by features.

When enabled, all the features from the current category / manufacturer / supplier / search will be added.

You can see it working at http://www.presto-changeo.com/125

Can the customers filter the price based on their choice?

Not yet :)

Good suggestion, I'll add that option for the next version.

Great module, just purchased from http://www.presto-changeo.com and very pleased with it's functionality. Has great promise for future options as well.

Make sure you buy and add this module to your personal collection of Prestashop tools.

V1.4 Works a treat, great improvements from the last version... Keep them coming.

The filter by attributes is particularly handy and the fact that it only displays attributes based on the items being displayed means this filter can work on multiple categories without blending unused attributes.

LOVE IT!!!
