On top of their display on top of the product page, you can also display them anywhere on your website thanks to the hikashop filter module.

Your keywords would have links to the product listing with an extra parameter for the filtering option, which would be "hardcoded" for each link.

Instead of using the default keyword field, you should create your own keyword custom product field via the menu Display->Custom fields. Make it a multiselect dropdown and select all the keywords for each product. Then, in your filter select that custom field and the filtering system will automatically use the values of the custom field.

Has anyone got some step by step instructions to help me create this?")* Hello, I got the business edition mostly for the filter and custom product field mostly. Unfortunately the filter does not work: 1. I created and published the "price" filter. 2. Created the product_listing menu 3. Created and published the module with the menu Id as suggested in the docs. When I click on filter it gets me to a new (search like) page but with no products displayed. If I published the created menu and click on it, the products will show on a freshly open browser (Firefox on Ubuntu Linux). Weird enough though, after I click on the filter (and doesn't give me anything), even if I click on the products_listing menu it doesn't display anything now. I have to re-start the browser in order to get the menu display products. The filter doesn't display anything regardless. I can't provide you a link to the website yet as the website is still on my Ubuntu/Server machine for development. Any ideas?
