Hello!
First of all let me apologize for writing in English but my Russian is a bit rusty! :)
My name is Décio "Simon" Quintas, I'm from Portugal and I'm posting here because I've noticed *a lot* of accesses to my site originating from this forum.
I've developed a Filter Module for OpenCart that has become quite popular and is currently being used in hundred of stores around the globe.
Here is a brief presentation of the module:
Filters are constructed using opencart's attributes, options, manufacturers, stock status, tags, prices and categories.
SimonFilters was introduced back in December 2011, and was the first module of its kind.
It brought AJAX to this kind of functionality and was also the first to put so many filtering options under one Extension.
The list of features is very extensive and is still growing as customers are always thinking of new ways to explore the module. Some of the most important ones:
-Automatic creation of filters for Manufacturers, Attributes, Options, Categories, Stock Status, Tags and Prices.
-Can be placed on almost all layouts:homepage, product/category, product/manufacturer/product, product/search, product/product and product/special
-4 out of the box display types: default, with checkboxes, collapsible checkboxes and horizontal filters.
-Shows number of products by filter (optional)
-Navigation is done with Ajax. No pesky "search" button for your clients to click.
-Context is saved. When you enter a product page and go back to the category page, all previously selected filters will be selected automatically.
-Css creator module with preview. Start from one of the provided templates and create your own layouts.
-Filter group order can be configured. You can choose to the order in which the various filter groups (Attributes, Options, Prices, etc) are shown.
-Price filter can be configured as a slider or as price intervals just by the click of a checkbox on the admin.
-Supports checkboxes and radiobutton functionality. Checkboxes can have two distinct behaviors depending you want to show the products that match all of the selected options or those that match at least one.
-The filters are fully dynamic, meaning that they adapt to show only the relevant filters when filter selections are made. That behavior can be overridden with one click as some customers prefer to show all the existing filters all the time.
-Attributes can be split by a configurable char. If you have, for example, a ClockSpeed Attribute with values like "100MHZ 200MHZ" you can instruct the module to create multiple filter entries by spliting, in this example, by space. One click and all filters are automatically created.
-AJAX can be disabled and revert to classic links with selected filters on the QueryString. Usefull if you want to send a filtered list of products on a newsletter.
-You can define if you want a "more/less" link to appear if a list of filters is bigger than a configurable value.
And much more features. Visit the demo. I'm online most of the time on the support chat and I'll be more than happy to guide you through the module.
