Dear Contaoers
Catalog is a powerful tool but is quite difficult to domesticate…
I need some explanation about the filter module. I hope that some expert will help me.
I have a Product catalog and I categorize the products with a category field. I use the same catalog to display on various pages different kinds of products: one page for shirts, one for trousers, one for shoes. For this I apply a condition in the lister as this: category=1 ,…
My problem occurs when I add a catalog filter on the same page. Let’s imagine that on that page I only want to see category 4,6,8. Putting this condition in the lister works fine and I have a long list of products (for example: moccasins, boots, sandals).
Now I set up the catalog filter, define the category as a combo box. On the page appears the combo box and the listing still the same (that’s fine).
BUT…
in the combo box appears all the category of my product Catalog and not only category 4,6,8 as defined in the condition of the lister (I see: shirts, moccasins, boots, sandals, trousers, and I don't want to see shirts and trousers).
So I went back to the back office and I noticed the field “Use filter condition from lister on same page.” I checked it. But in the front end the combo disappears and I only have the link “clear all filter”.
The question is: how to proceed to have the combo box displaying only the category corresponding to the lister?
Thank’s for your help
And I wish you all a happy new year.
