Filtering module
This module includes the "manufacturer filtering module" and implements the following functions:
- adds "filter by manufacturer" option (using a combo-box in each category);
- adds "filter by details" option;
- adds the possibility to define in the administrator area details and detail values;
- adds the possibility to set for each product a value for each detail;
- adds "niceform" improvement for comboboxes from badboy (www.badboy.ro);
- eliminates the page bug (the page setting propagated through all categories even if the pages didn't exist).
To install the module you must copy the included files in their directories, keeping the folder structure in the archive. Read the included text files for details. Also, you must add two tables. An sql file is included in the archive.
Enjoy!
Hide Prices / Customer Approval
This contribution enables you to set up and use flags that hide prices and/or the add-to-cart button from customers who are not currently logged-in and also to change the customer account setup process to require explicit account authorisation.
Customers would then apply for an account which has to be explicitly enabled in the admin section before the account is activated.
These items may be installed separately - see updated_files.txt for which files apply to which option.
Manufacturer filter
This is a filtering combo-box with the manufacturers for products in each category.
A combo-box with the manufacturers appears bellow the "Page" line. When selecting the manufacturer, only the corresponding products are shown. Also, only the manufacturers for the products in the current category appear.
The files attached are as follows:
- category.php - to be uploaded in "catalog/controller/"
- category.tpl - to be uploaded in "content/" folder of your template's folder
Also, in the language file, the following entries should be defined:
- 'filter_manufacturers' - defines the string that appears before the combo-box
- 'all' - defines the string for the option "--- no filter ---" (that's all manufacturers)
This update also eliminates a bug by resetting the page setting to the first page when changing the category.
