Search within a range


Recommended Posts

I'm currently working on a shop for a client and he has asked if it is possible to add the following search facility.

 

There are about 500 clamp products similar to Jubilee clips, each clamp can cover a range of sizes, each clamp will have a minimum diameter (for example 5mm) to a maximum diameter (for example 7mm),  when a user requests for example a diameter of 6mm he wants all the clamps returned that can fit the requested size.

 

Is this possible?

 

I've already added a min diameter and max diameter feature to the Layered Navigation Block but my client wants this extra feature.

 

I hope that makes sense, any help would be appreciated.

Everything is possible :)

 

It sounds like you want to assign to each product all the Diameters it can have, and then search by those.

 

Features cannot be used here, as you can only have 1 feature value per product.

Attributes are not a good solution either, as they would require user selection on the front end.

 

My suggestion would be to use categories (hidden), such as Diameter, with subcategories inside for all the values.

Then assign each product to all the matching subcategories, and filter by those.

 

If Layered Navigation does support or allow that, you can check out http://www.presto-changeo.com/en/filter-modules/74-ajax-filter.html
