Help for Aimeos

Hi,

I'm not sure if this is my mis-configuration or there's a glitch, but I've added a catalog filter and an attributes filter to a page (I think I even just copied from the default install). Anyway, I have a page with 2 items, but the filter is going nuts - see screenshot.

What are the URL parameters for that view?

Hi,

None at all! Here's the dev URL: http://ded01.stormat.ca/~dutchcycle/typ ... car-racks/

Then I would say it's a misconfiguration because it seems you've set a default category and the faceted search isn't aware of that.

Hey,

Ah OK. I did have both a catalog filter CE and a Catalog Attributes CE (to create separate "Categories" and "Filter" headings on the frontend ... or so I thought), and the catalog filter had the "Display categories beginning from the following node" set to Car Racks.

I have now hidden the Catalog Attributes CE and put everything into the Catalog Filter CE (keeping the Car Racks default category in the plugin tab/settings). Upon doing so, nothing changes - looks exactly the same as the screenshot previously sent. So, I set "Display categories ... " to nothing, annnnd now it's worse, showing the entire Catalog in the Categories filter.

Not sure what else is left to (mis) configure?

When you don't set a default category in the filter, category tree and attribute counts are in par because they count the same products. If you set a default category, your category tree will show only the subtree and the counts for the products in the subtree while the attribute counts still use all products. Same would apply to the supplier (brand) filter.

Reason behind: No one had the requirement yet to show an attribute filter for a category tree limited by a default start category and if your category contains only two products, the attribute filter doesn't make sense at all.

Might be worth adding that restriction to the attribute and supplier filter in the future nevertheless ...

Hey,

Ok but I'm still getting the mess. What specifically do I need to do? I tried setting/unsetting the "Display categories beginning from the following node" setting but that did nothing.

Thanks,

You have the category filter and the attribute filter on the list page. Now there are two options:
- Use the global list page with category and attribute filter (all not restricted to a default category) for all list views (also check that the category doesn't contain a "target" value in the Aimeos admin interface)
- If you want to use specific list pages for each category by adding the page ID as target in the category panel of the admin interface, remove the attribute filter

Hi,

Yes, that's what I did (i.e. removed the attribute filter) ... but it still doesn't work! See attached ...

The catalog filter component contains search, categories and attribute filter. You should use the catalog tree plugin instead if you only want to show the categories.
