Mod: Size/Color/Brand filter (drill-down style)

Hi everyone,

We recently developed a nice addition to PC, which the customer demanded since the built-in drill-down navigation has some known performance issues.

You can get an idea from here : http://test.tuatara.ro/cart/pc/Topuri-Maiouri-c57.htm

Basically, using the custom search fields table structure, we did a couple of stored procedures and the user can filter the products by brand, size, color and price range.

The main advantage is obviously the speed. For high traffic sites we have a caching option also.

If anyone finds this of interest, he can PM me.

Thanks,
Victor Gunta

Hi,

The differences are :

- SPEED, because everything is based on 1 stored procedure;
- the filters are automatically generated from your products options (eg. colors, sizes etc.) You don't need to manually set search fields for every product;
- caching option;
- easily and lightweight customisable layout (doesn't rely on spry or jQuery UI);

I think this sums it up.

Thanks,
Victor

Hi Victor,
