Dynamic Filter [Support Thread]

[dlwwalton]

On my site if I drill down to the product it is showing the attributes. How do I get rid of those on the Product page.

I know it can be done because I saw another site that uses Dynamic Filter and they done have that.

If you have attributes that don't need to be selected to add the product to the cart, in admin > catalog > option name manager, select the Option Type as 'Read Only'. Making the Option Type 'Read Only' hides the attributes on the product info page.

dlwwalton,

In my experience, if a product attribute is Read Only is still shows on the product page; it just isn't "selected" and made part of the shopping cart. The Dynamic Filter does work off the Read Only attributes, as we're using both the filter and read only attributes on one of our live sites now.

But I don't really know what you mean by drill down and get the attributes off the product page. Can you give a direct link and explain what you want gone?

Unfortunately, I don't see a dedicated Dynamic Filter thread, but most postings are in the Addon Sideboxes forum.

kamelion, very nice looking site!

What I mean is on the left where the categories are make your way down and select the attributes of your choice. You will eventually get to a particular product. The attributes are showing here (as the link below shows.) I want those to be gone..

Everything you see with a radio button. I don't want any of these to show on this page..

Here is the link

So you're saying that the dynamic filter sidebox is showing on your product information page? I don't see it when I go to the link.

To hide the read-only attributes on the product info page, add to your stylesheet (anywhere)

#productAttributes {display: none;}

If you have selectable attributes for any products, this will hide them too, and you will need to install Flexible Attributes from Plugins to selectively hide the read-only ones.

You are the best. I could kiss you right now. That is exactly what I needed to do. I don't know how to thank you..Many many thanks...

I guess no attributes showing will work, so long as the customer doesn't need to select anything or see it in their cart. Your product titles may cover much of that. And I guess the Dynamic Filter, if they use it, takes care of attribute selection.

My other thought, going back to when I first saw your site, is that with only seven products the Dynamic Filter seems to me like overkill. Are you going to have more products?

Your site also seems slow, but that's another issue.

[dlwwalton]

About 38,000 products. Just testing on a small scale first and then I will add about 3,000 products to see what happens.

Customer will not need to select any attributes from the product page, you are absolutely correct..

Yes for some strange reason the site is extremely slow especially when clicking on a product or product image. I called my ISP and they told me it was something with zencart. Any suggestions? I have looked at forums on speeding up Zencart and have played with settings but doesn't seem to help. My previous load of zencart appeared to perform much better. If I reload zencart and then copy the files (from a back up back) over to the zencart folder would that just reproduce my problem?
