Price Range

[RobertR]

I got it semi working.

It doesn't work when you click the monetary value. It goes right thru to "Advanced Search There is no product that matches the search criteria."

I'm trying to get rid of a javascript which I'm pretty sure is the problem. Because I changed someting in tpl_search for the 1st range and that brings me to this:

Products

Custom 404 Error Page with Site Map Sample Text ...

Put your custom "page not found" message here. You can change this text in the Define Pages Editor located under Tools in the Admin.

Which is incorrect but differs from the other ranges. This all is within categories. By Brand seems to be working.

Let's step back for a minute ...

In a perfect world ... you have this Price Range sidebox ...

When do you want to use it?

Specifically, you click this, that, this, etc. and are using this sidebox when?

[RobertR]

- OK, the Price Range sidebox does not appear initially.
- If you click Shop By Brand or select a category from the top menu it appears
- If you click any range when categories has been selected you're brought here (Screenshot#1) Notice the "Limit to Category", "Search by Price Range" has values plugged into them.
- When you Shop By Brand the first two price ranges bring you to screenshot#1 with the appropriate price range plugged in. The last 3 price ranges seem to be working.

- I would wish to have only relevant price ranges appear according to brand and/or category. But, that could be the next step once this (code) is actually straightened out. Unless it can be accomplished simulatenaeously.

And here's the tpl_search code

So you are saying you want this to "take" you to the advance search not be the actual filter on prices when a category is selected ... correct?

[RobertR]

So you are saying you want this to "take" you to the advance search not be the actual filter on prices when a category is selected ... correct?

Right the filter should be Price Range not Advanced Search. Price Range is the driving force.

In actuality if only relevant prices for brand/category are presented there'll never be no match.

[Ajeh]

The question I am asking is ... right now, the way this is designed, it takes you to the Advanced Search with pre-filled in fields where you need to enter the keyword ...

Is this what you want?

Or, do you want to be navigating through Categories on the Product Listing and filter the Product Listing to these price ranges?

[RobertR]

Navigating through Categories on the Product Listing and filter the Product Listing to these price ranges?

[Ajeh]

This will need more customization as this is made right now to use a search criteria and you are saying you just want the pricing affect ...

I will have to look at this later to really do anything with it to work out so that this is just a price filter not a search as well ...

[RobertR]

OK thanks! I'll keep on digging as well.

[RobertR]

How ya doin' bro? I have less hair than yesterday.
