Hi Guys,

Looking for a developer to work with on a regular basis, but the first thing I need quite urgent is a filtering module for OC1.5

Need a module on the left column that lists set categories as drop-downs like seen here:
http://www.cadmanfinewines.co.uk/

so if I select 3/11 criteria or whatever, I get a list of wines falling under that criteria. Hope this makes sense..

Anyways, my question is if anyone knows a module that is out there so I can go buy it, or can someone develop it and how much would it cost?

An maybe someone has a better idea how to achieve this rather than with categories. Perhaps using attributes?

Thanks,
Igo

Hi everybody, first post. I'm not an OpenCart user yet but I've decided to become one because it looks pretty awesome.

I'm also looking for something similar, e.g. the ability to filter by attributes, or faceted search, or whatever it's normally called. I'd certainly be willing to pay for something that works. Does anyone know of anything like this?

Lowe's does it very well, where you can click to add or remove multiple attributes, even attributes in the same "group" like multiple price options, etc.

REI does it the best I've ever seen

But Best Buy also does it pretty well, but not as fancy as the others because you can only choose one price range, etc. The price range options disappear as soon as you click on one. But still pretty good.

Thanks for any help!

I had a module like that for 1.4.x, and I will be porting it over to 1.5, but I've got alot going on right now. I imagine it'll be at least a week maybe two before I can get it done. I think you'll find that it will take a while before all the modules get upgraded. It's quite a big change from 1.4.x to 1.5.x and it's only been about a week since the release.

Xsecrets,

I know you must be terribly busy, but can you please let me know how much would this module have to be modified to work with OC1.5. I have my own developer who can probably do the job, just need to know how much it will cost me. Is it a lot of work to port it to 1.5 ? I need the site ready by the end of the week, hence the urgency.

Regards,
Igo

yes it's a lot of work. Mine is written to use my product extra fields module which has been replaced by the built in affiliates system. Also the entire admin section has to be rewritten since everything for the admin changed with the new layout system. In addition there were some scaling issues with my module that I have to workout for the 1.5 version, and I am going to look at adding support for options.

Ok, So this means your module desnt use the categories to filter which is what I need.

All products are added to multiple categories. I need to be able to show all products that are added to a certain category, but also need to be able to show products that are added to say 4 categories.

Whatever the user wants to see, they can see it. E.g If I selected argentina, red wines, 14%, malbec - then I would see all products attached to these 4 categories.

Xsecrets - If this is not how your module works, how does it work. Maybe you have a better work around and I should wait for you to port it.

well yes my modules uses categories manufacturers tags price ranges and extra fields. The new version will use categories manufacturers tags price ranges attributes and maybe options.

however no my mod never did allow you to do multiple categories. It did allow for multiple tags and extra fields.

Ok,

well this could suit me even better. I was gonna create categories for price range and the other stuff as I thought this would be the easiest way forward, but if we could combine manufacturer + price + attributes then the possibilities are endless I suppose as You can create attributes as many as you want really.

Anyways, the situation is as follows, I need such module ready by the end of the week. As I understand this is not possible? I am happy to pay triple and throw in a free theme from themedisk.com ;)

If not, will recreate a module seen here - http://www.gildensarts.com (footer)

If somebody would write this module I require it also for an ink cartridge website.

Thanks

We have managed to build our own. We had specific requirements like mixing the manufacturer, attributes, categories, and price range on the filter so its not exactly a module that anyone can use, but perhaps we can modify it for you.. PM

How do.
First post so a quick thumbs up for Opencart from me. (Been using VM + Joomla for the last few years and its a breath of fresh air to use something that sits with current standards for a change - especially on the design side of things.)

Anywho.
A product filter (Cherry-Picker) is exactly what I need.
I'm more than happy to pay for this kind of functionality in OC but cant see a mod anywhere.

Anyone got any further with this yet or know of anything available?

EDIT : Ivcoded, is yours available as an installable module?

I'm also interested in this mod/module. I'm building a website for spareparts of motorbikes and i need a page where the user kan search by brand of the bike, model of the bike, year of the bike and then see all available products.
This doesn't work with categories.
Is this mod for sale?

That's a great MOD but not what i'm looking for. I have so many brands, types of bikes etc. The list should be dynamic: when changing the brand, only the types of that brand should be available etc.
