Hello Everyone,
- We want to implement Advanced filtering functionality with multiple selection for each field along with Min price and Max price selection filters For Ecommerce project using siteglide. My requirement is similar to this screenshot named as required functionality. Please check this screenshot.
So Now using Advanced filtering available in siteglide which is used for Modules and webapps etc. I have developed it on one of my demo site https://product-grouping-module-v5.staging.oregon.platform-os.com/testing-of-advanced-filtering-in-ecommerce . But for multiple options selection it's not working. As Matt did guide me I have passed the multiple selected options to the URL parameters with comma separated format but it's not working. It works only if I select one value from each dropdown.
1) Could you please guide me, what I have to do here so that this functionality will work for multiple options selection ?
2) Is it possible to add price filters in this advanced filtering of siteglide. ? i.e. Min price and Max price. If yes could you please give me some direction so that I can achieve this functionality using advanced filtering of siteglide.
1. I think what you're experiencing is that you want the search to be OR, whereas it is only AND as explained in the docs here -> https://developers.siteglide.com/advanced-searching-front-end#:~:text=Advanced%20Search%20uses-,AND%20and%20EXACT,-logic.
This can obviously we fixed with custom code, but if you'd like it to be an option for OR that you add to your search then we'll need time to implement that feature.
2. You can find price filters working here -> https://demo.siteglide.com/products
It could be but I am not sure. So I would like to request that you please take a look at these websites. I can send you a few Links for reference functionality where you can get the exact idea. UI could be different for every site that is not an issue. But Logic is the same. Please check and let me know if you are developing similar feature on siteglide for us.
Thanks Matt !
Hi @Matt Walter
As per my understanding There is AND logic between all the fields of the filter section and OR logic between the multiple selected options of each field. I was not sure that's why I had given the reference site links to check the functionality. shall I create a feature request in siteglide for this functionality ? so that siteglide users can track the progress.
With the update coming out this week you'll be able to decide whether the filter is OR or AND per field.
You can find this update here:
System Files - 2.7.1.0 -> https://help.siteglide.com/en/article/module-system-files-changelog-dl9vyo/?bust=1641982349627#2-2710-12th-january-2022
Hello @Matt Walter ,
Thank you so much ! This functionality is very useful for siteglide users. But I was testing this updated version of this functionality on demo site. I have passed the match_type=OR parameter to URL but If I pass this parameter it's working for multiselection from different fields. which is Good But when I am not selecting any option from any one filter or all the filters and if I search then it's not showing the results. could you please take a look or if you understand the issue from my text or screenshot then please guide me if it's my mistake or please fix it if it is a bug in functionality.
Thanks !
If the selected options are blank, then don't pass the URL parameters at all.
Thanks. It is correct when the user will not select anything from all the fields. But what if user select options from 1st filter and if he keep the 2nd filter value is equal to All. i.e.
Make Filter selection : Audi,BMW
Color : All
in that case also it's not working.
For color, how is 'All' different from selecting nothing?
