Please clarify this question

Please clarify this question

I am supposed to call it with index.php?dispatch=product_features.view?filter_id=27

BUT, the feature whose variants I'd like to display is not promoted to Filters, so it has only feature_id=4

This feature should have the Brand/ Manufacturer type. For other types variants will not be displayed

They are. I have two features in Brand/Manufacturer type - one Brands and another Publishers. One of them is registered as Filter and has filter_id, the other is not promoted as filter. So the question is how to show all Brands that have only feature_id and no filter_id

Unfortunately, you cannot use this functionality without filter

Sorry to bring up this issue again.

I have a feature called Author - which is not of the Brand/Manufacturer type, it is rather a Multiple Select type. So I can call any variant of this feature by using this dispatch

/index.php?dispatch=product_features.view&variant_id=xxx

My idea was to use the product_features.view_all dispatch and show all authors

It will not work without filter or code modifications. You can check code in the following file

app/controllers/frontend/product_features.php

    if (empty($filter_id)) {
        return array(CONTROLLER_STATUS_NO_PAGE);
    }

Thank you, got it. Found a work around. And it's even better, because now the author can have his/her own page with photo, description and list of all related products. Translated in all languages.

It's more resourcefulness than solution: Голь на выдумки хитра :-)

The main issue with the Authors was that there can be many of them for one product, and they should be entered one by one, using the only possible Multiple option in the Type selection. Brands however accept only one value. So, I introduced a second Multiple feature and called it Co-Authors, moved there all co-authors and transformed the Authors type into Brand type.
