I'm nonplussed and would appreciate any help. are my attributes munged up somehow?

I don't know if it is relevant to the problem, but I did note that one of your 'Light Browns' is a radio button, but most others are dropdowns.

You could try changing that for consistency.

Thanks for the input, they are all pull downs but where there is only one available option they appear as radio.

Other categories have other peculiarities, for example in the Rimless category I seem to be able to filter successfully on Blue, Brown and Black, but all other colours return zero results.

I may start from scratch and make a new attribute set for colours, see if that fixes it.

I have had a look, but can't find an answer for this. I have downloaded a mod called "Editable Centerboxes" which I want to use to display the dynamic filter in a centerbox above the product listings. I need to find a way to make the dynamic filters sit next to each other, side by side in the centerbox, rather than as a list going downwards? I hope this makes sense? Sort of like this: www.autotrader.co.uk/used-cars I have used float:left with .dFilter and it makes them sit next to each other, but they slope downwards from left to right with a weird border on top of them? can somebody help please

Ok, I have managed to figure it out if anybody else wants this effect. You need to download editable centerboxes, and set the dynamic filter to display in box position 8. The basic stylesheet changes are hr {display: none;} .dFilter{float: left; width:40px; height:80px;margin-right:1em} #dynamicfilterContent{ width:900px;height:200px} some of the sizes might be different for your site, but if you put that in your stylesheet you would get an idea of what to change. Oh and use dropdowns for the filters, it makes it sit better

I am trying to acheive the layout of attributes on my product page like you have on the site linked above. Specifically, the way that the 'for display only' attribute is greyed out and is in a dropdown style box even though it appears to be the only value for that attribute. The problem I am having is threefold;

- How to display the attibute as a dropdown when there is only one value? It appears to revert to a radio button if I have only one value.
- How do you make the attribute greyed out and non-selectable?
- How do I stack the attributed neatly like on the above site? Mine is staggered.

Here is an example product page: http://www.ragandmagpie.co.uk/vintag...nd-jacket-suit

I can't see any attributes on that page?
I think you can achieve what you want through admin-configuration-dynamic filter

Hi. I looked in admin-configuration-dynamic filter but couldn't find any options to achieve this.
The attributes are down under the description by the add to cart button.

Hi, I have installed the dynamic filter. All seems good in admin but the filter sidebox is not displaying on the site. Layout box's controller has it set to display left column sort order 5 dynamic filter settings are all on

Any clues please?

Ok I have now got it to display But I really need it to display on the home page as well as all the others.

Can someone please advise how to display the dynamic filter on the home page?
