Frontend product search filters - refine the list and narrow down your search

9 August 2011 at 4:56pm

Hi,

First of all thanks for your hard work on SilverCart - looks great!

I was wondering if it would be possible to add search filters to the frontend productgroup pages so you could filter the products displayed to refine the list and narrow down your search.

We really like how this site with hotels is doing just that:
http://www.fihotels.com/hotels/catalogue/

This would be especially useful for sites with many products or listings.

Thanks!

Konrad

Hi Konrad,

thanks fpr your great feedback, we really appreciate it.

We are just about to kick-off a project that demands exactly what you described.

Not sure how we can punch this feature into a generally usable module, but we'll see how we can make it fit. Will take some weeks though.

Cheers
Ramon

I know this isn't quite the same as what I mentioned from the FIH site but it makes an interesting mod:

It might come in handy for your next project!

Hi Konrad,

thanks for the hint. Looks very interesting. Maybe it can be combined with the filter in an elegant way.

Tempting to adapt the pricing model as well :-p

Cheers

I agree, it isn't as elegant as the FIH one and offers less functionality - the tickboxes offer the option to have a wider scope whereas with this mod you can only choose one of the options by clicking on it.

Let me know when you have something for us to look at.

Thanks!

Konrad
