Product Filters on search

Too bad for cs-cart i am testing 30 day trial but. when i performed search product filters, showing all products, working only cagetory pages. too bad for cs cart, and doesnt filtering categories.



thats have any solutions ?

They are in the process of fixing this, but for now the filters do not work on the search results. So what most do is remove the filter block from pages. This way it won't show up.

I actually just had an mod developed that fixes this. This mod only displays the filters that match the search results. I'm happy to share it, but that brings up a problem that I'd love to know your guys' opinion on.



I paid $140 to have this mod developed. As some of you know, I've shared a lot of addons on here for free, but at the same time, this still cost me $140 and I'd love to figure out a way to recoupe some of my money.



I had Alt-Team do the work and I don't know if they would appreciate me selling the mod. And, to be honest, I don't really want to sell the mod. I would like to figure out a way to recoupe some of my money though.



So, I was thinking. Instead of selling the mod, what if I charged to install it for people? This way I'm not really selling the mod and I'm only getting paid for my time for installing the mod. It sounds fair to me.



This is just a mod to the fn.catalog.php file and is pretty simply done. While I know what I charge to do work for people, what is the appropriate amount to charge for this type of thing? Is $20 fair?



So I'd love to know what you guys think about this. I do have the mod and would be happy to work anything out, but I just want to be fair and also not step on Alt-Team's toes.



Oh, and Flow… “Super Duper and Amazingly Sexy Senior Members” That is what you came up with? You guys are a long ways from being seniors.



Thanks,

I’m totally fine with that Brandon. It seems like a nice fix.

I’m sorry but if you can’t spend 20 bucks on something for your webshop, why are you even starting? Whatever software you’re going to use, in the end it will need some customization, which costs money. Actually if you really want to do it well, starting an online shop simply is going to cost money for the first couple of months or so. If not longer…

if only 20 buck thats ok , lets calculate



multi vendor license 985 bucks

what i have to buy

---------------------------------------------

CS-Cart “HelpDesk” add-on 250 bucks

Review Attributes Addon 40 bucks

3D secure bank posts 300 bucks

product filter fix on search 20 bucks

Multi exhance addon 190 bucks

multi select filters xx bucks



almost 800 $ for addons

vendor license is 985$

If you can find a cart that does the same for less, let me know. Most competitors (interspire, etc) already charge that amount for their basic cart (for one shop), without any add-ons and not nearly as much features as cs-cart has our of the box.

i dont tell brandon or anyone anything. cs-cart must be thats why? coz them all a lot of searched addons. must be cs-cart integrated.

Our [color=#0099ff]CS-Cart Dynamic Filters on Search Page[/color] addon will solve this problem and make your customers find what they want much faster and easier.

does filter the categories ?

Default [color=#0099ff]CS-Cart Dynamic Filters on Search Page[/color] doesn't have categories filter feature but customers can search in selected category and its subcategories already. Thanks.

If you have done it as custom mod, then you won't have to charge as custom job? Surely if already written you can integrate or offer as separate module?

oops double post



how long does it take to make this changed module you made before?

I am happy support your module if at good price and value for money



thank

This caught my eye.

It would indeed be useful having Search Filters filter product categories from products in the search results… More than what the “Search Options” currently does. i.e. display a list of the categories, so you could make a single selection (link or radio) or multiple selection (checkboxes) and click search again and update results.



I think what Caveman is saying is that he wants to search the store, and on the search results page to show a block on the side where it shows ALL categories of ALL products currently in search results. So not show All Categories of the store, but All Categories OF Products displayed across All pages of the search results…



CSCARTROCKS, do you plan to add additional features to this plug-in, or have a “plus” or “pro” version of the plug-in with additional features?



Thank you!



edit: is it still $20? What is the URL for the product add-on?

I’ll be happy to pay $40 if it can display the categories from the product results. :D

Yes we understand that and it's actually a categories filter. This is currently done as a custom mod. The custom mod was done for a highly customized store so the mod will be made on a store by store case. However, we will consider to make it as an addon without core file changes in the future. Thanks guys!

i hope u will fix that
