Add layered navigation to Manufacturers pages.


Recommended Posts

I'd like to be able to use the layered navigation block on the manufacturers pages if possible. Some of my manufacturers have several hundred products in many categories, so it would be great for the customer to be able to filter down to what they're looking for if possible. Please could you let me know if this is possible?

 

Thanks

Gary

Hey,

 

The layered navigation module requires a category to be selected to function.

 

A workaround to your problem would be to replace manufacturer links with custom links to a category of home category (2) and the appropriate selection of filters

 

e.g. in the default installation -

Shure Incorporated

Apple Computer Inc

I use Prestashop 1.5.4.1. This request is absolutely necessary.

 

I have an average of 40% bounce rate in the manufacturer page (that by default has no filter).

When i use a shortcut trick in custom menu with '/index.php?id_category=11&selected_filters=manufacturer-replay&controller=category' to display manufacturer with filter, then my bounce rate is 0%!!!

 

I spend hours looking for a solution in the forum, without any success at all.

I would be grateful if someone could indicate at least which file and link to change in order to do that shortcut trick even with 'if' statement.

 

Thanks in advance.

Of course they won't respond here because they want 40 bucks for the module.

Kind of shameless, but that sums up my experience with prestashop: If you really want your shop to have good functionality and good looks, you have to pay for it.
