Filter category no products found

Hello,

Maybe this question will seem a little silly to you, but did you set any category in your products ? Other point, can you process some test without this option :

Hi,

I think we're going in the wrong direction here.
In the setting "menu" of your module, you've entered 107.
So the filtering will be done on the products displayed by default by the menu item with the id 107.
If that menu item is not a menu item of the type "products listing", or that this menu item is configured to not display any products by default, it would explain why you don't get any products when you use the filter of that module.
So I would recommend to first check the settings of that menu item via the Joomla menu manager.

Hi,

I did read your previous message carefully.
Still, your issue is likely with this menu item settings.
Please provide a screenshot of the settings under the "products options" tab of this menu item.

Hi,

The menu item looks fine.
So I checked the situation on your website and the filter seems to work fine.
It seems that your grief with it is that it's only displaying the products directly inside the category selected.
However, there is no setting to change that.
The category filter is only capable of that.
The "include sub categories" setting of the filter is for the display of the filter, which means that if you display the filter module on a products listing, then the filter will display only based on that first "category" setting and the "include sub categories" setting.

For what you want to do, I would recommend to approach the problem differently.
Instead of creating a category filter, I would recommend creating a "HikaShop content module" configured to display the categories in the sidebar position. Then, when clicking on a category of the module, it will display the products of the category clicked on, and since your menu item is configured to display all sub elements already, it will display the products of the sub categories.

Hi,

You can combine filters and a categories listing module on the side.
I don't see a problem with that ?

It's indeed a good idea to improve the documentation on that.

Regarding the use of a categories listing module, I don't see the problem. You can have the categories listing module on top of the filters module. The customer can click on a category to get the products of that category. And then he can uses the filters on the module to filter the products of that category.
One thing you need to be careful though is that you need to deactivate the "force redirect" setting if you have it activated as otherwise, the filter module will ignore the current category he is in and will filter the products of the menu item you have in the "menu" setting of the module.

Hi,

It's already possible to create a text filter and configure it to search through all the products on the shop regardless of the categories.
For that you can :
- create a filter of the type "text" applying it on the product name column via the Display>Fitlers menu.
- if you don't have already a menu item displaying a products listing of all your products, create one via the Joomla menu manager. By default, the "products listing" menu item pre installed with HikaShop is configured to display all your products.
- configure the HikaShop filter module for that filter, with the "force redirect" setting activated and the id of that previously configured menu item in the "menu" setting of the module.
