bobdonkey Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 Hi I have many manufacturers, and customers will want to filter by manufacturers. I am surprised that this is not built in, but how can I add this in to the foundation theme, CC6?Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirty Butter Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 The Advanced Search has this built in. Not sure if this is in 6.0.4 or just 6.0.5. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobdonkey Posted June 2, 2015 Author Share Posted June 2, 2015 OK paid for the advanced search plugin and this is pretty useless in my opinion:- It adds a new search box. Why would you want to have 2 search boxes on the website? Confusing for users.- It shows ALL manufactures in the manufactures table, regardless of whether there are any products in the database from that manufacturer. It should only list items if there is actually a product.- It doesn't allow you to just filter on manufacturer. You have to do a search.What I need is a way to filter when in a category based on manufacturer, not do a whole search. Any ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirty Butter Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 I'm so sorry - what I was referring to is NOT a plugin - it's stock CC. What version of CC are you on and what skin are you using? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobdonkey Posted June 2, 2015 Author Share Posted June 2, 2015 OK, I just upgraded to 6.05. I have a modified version of foundation so just it to work in the default for now.Is there now an option to filter, if so, where is it?Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bsmither Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 There is this third party mod, but it shows products from a chosen manufacturer.I read what you want is a list of manufacturers (to be chosen as a filter) from a chosen category.Whether it works properly on CC605 will need to be tested.The CC601 version is here.

bobdonkey Posted June 2, 2015 Author Share Posted June 2, 2015 OK I found what you meant, yes advanced search is very similar to the advanced search plugin. Neither are what I am after. I would like it to work as follows:- When browsing a category, there is a filter at the top. I either need to add a new drop down here for manufacturer, or have tick boxes in the sidebar to allow filtering by manufacturer. Users shouldn't have to do a search, they might just want to show all the products in the category by that manufacturer.Thanks for the help thus far, but it seems I might to code this myself. If anyone had any pointers it would be useful.Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobdonkey Posted June 2, 2015 Author Share Posted June 2, 2015 Thanks bsmither that looks like it might do the job, I will check it out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
