Dynamic Filter [Support Thread]

[chief]

can't seen to get to work with read only attributes, I've added the option ids in the settings - am I missing soemthing really obvious

Hi,
I am rebuilding my website with 1.5.5f. but am having display issues with the filter, i have a working 1.5.5e.
If understand you correctly do this..
what i did is go to catalog ->Option Name Manager
create names for items, I sell IT so i added #Cores and CPU Socket Type. leave as dropdown
then goto Catalog -> Option Values choose the named value and then add a Option Value.
now go to Catalog -> Attributes Controller. choose a Catagory from the pulldown, choose a product, click display, this adds it underneath.
then assign options by clicking one under "Adding new attributes", choose option from right window then click insert.
repeat for as many attributes that you want to create or assign to a product.

Option names need to be 'read only' not dropdown.

Thanks but I already have the attributes added to my products, however the attributes which are read only don't appear in the filter

That's what I thought which is why am confused, my dropdown attributes are showing but not my read only ones

I think stock by attributes is my problem is there anyway this can be altered so it doesn't use the stock by attibutes value.
The problem is i don't have a sba value assigned to my read only attributes.

'Somewhere' I read that the filters would work with only a single stock by attribute used, but I was unable to accomplish this - the filters would behave in very strange ways and cause template to go whacky and adding a product with attributes to the cart would add 2 products instead. I ended up removing SbyA altogether as I didn't have many products using it anyway. Another thing I found with the filters - EVERY product had to have at least one read-only attribute assigned of the product listing page would go whacky.

To deal with the SbyA products I have I simply created new products - ie one product large, one product medium, one product small etc instead of a single product with the size attributes. But as I mentioned, I only have a few of such products so it wasn't a big deal. It would be a lot of work if many products.

Hi there, right now I have the dynamic filter enabled to filter by price.
However, out of the 5 options, only the 1st option is available to activate.
The other 4 are disabled and greyed out.
Would appreciate it if someone could advise as to how I can enable all the filter options. Thanks!

If Zen Cart is set "main page - opens with category" it is possible to have the filter active?

I had to install the last ZC 1.5.6.a and also have the same issue, only one attribute, one price range, one manufacturer and no filtered result when hit filter.

I have this error:
