Thanks

Hi,

Found another issue. Using IE11 the ajax refresh doesn't work. It is trying to refresh content and stuck with console error below:

Hi,

1. HikaShop Business 4.2.0 [1907171646]. Using IE11 the ajax refresh doesn't work. It is trying to refresh content and stuck with console error below:

window.Oby.registerAjax("filters.updated",function(params){ 
jQuery('.dropdown_size').addClass('open');
});

Hi,

Those both patches works fine now. Thank you

However there is now another issue with HikaShop Business 4.2.0 [1907221606].
If i add any script tag for each filter, as example:

<div class="hikashop_filter_main hikashop_filter_main_<?php echo $filters[$count]->filter_namekey; ?>" style="<?php echo $height; ?> float:left; width:<?php echo $widthPercent*$filters[$count]->filter_options['column_width']?>%;" >
			<?php echo '<div class="hikashop_filter_'.$filters[$count]->filter_namekey.'">'.$html[$count].'</div>'; ?>
		</div>
			<script>
				jQuery('.hikashop_filter_main_<?php echo $filters[$count]->filter_namekey; ?>').addClass('open');
			  </script>

Hi,

I have update and tried with protostar template, still no luck. "script" tags are removed from html.

So this is what i have now:

1. I use default filter.php with no modification and add this a bit of script:

<script>
jQuery('.hikashop_filter_main_<?php echo $filters[$count]->filter_namekey; ?>').addClass('open');
</script>

<div class="hikashop_filter_main hikashop_filter_main_<?php echo $filters[$count]->filter_namekey; ?>" style="<?php echo $height; ?> float:left; width:<?php echo $widthPercent*$filters[$count]->filter_options['column_width']?>%;" >
			<?php echo '<div class="hikashop_filter_'.$filters[$count]->filter_namekey.'">'.$html[$count].'</div>'; ?>
		</div>

Hi,

Thank you. It seems everything is working great now.

However i would like to know what is happening with script tag and it's content after ajax refresh. Script is executed but not visible in html, the place it should be. Trying to inspect with dev tools "event" i see that it comes from hikashop.js file now?

Regards

Update.

I was a bit hurry saying that everything works fine. Now it does refresh 2 times. Inspecting with dev tools, you clearly can see that hikashop_checkout_loading is added, removed, added, removed. As usual tried with protostart template.

Thanks

Hi,

Thanks for explanation regarding javascript.

So it seems that the price cursor is giving issues. If i unpublish it then everything works fine.

Here are the settings of it.

Hi,

Seems everything works perfect now.

Thank you for your great support and keep up the good work!

Cheers

Hi,

perhaps we can continue this thread as it fits the title, the new ajax filters work without problems, but we've found they do have several drawbacks:

- with the "old" way of filtering, users could view a product then go back to the product listing and all their filter settings would still be exactly the same, and they could simply continue browsing where they left off. Now with ajax filters, they have to redo all their filters every time they return to the product listing, which is a big downside compared to how it was before and we're afraid will quickly become very annoying to users.

- most of our listings have several hundred products and with ajax filters it usually takes several seconds when applying a filter before the new set of products is shown, which is quite long. After running some comparison tests, we've found in many cases the old filters which reloaded the entire page were actually faster.

- with the old way of filtering it allowed users to save/favourite/share pages with their filter settings in the url, which is no longer possible now.
- also the old filters allowed behind-the-scenes analytics to see what filter options were looked at the most or the least, quite valuable information in our view, which is no longer possible now.

This is just our experience so far, but due to the above issues, we're inclined to go back to the old way of filtering.
We didn't see any setting in the back-end to choose whether you want to use ajax filters or not, though if we're not mistaken we can still switch ajax off by adding in the config table ajax_filters and setting it to 0, correct? Will this continue to work/be supported even in future?

Thanks.

Hi,

I just would like to add that I think the filter params should be added to the url as soon as you filter something, this would fix most of what GW wrote. We can take a look how big shops handle it. As example asos.com

Also, seems "redirect post mode" settings have no impact now on filters....

Thanks

@GW,

Regarding filter settings. I just found that if you disable redirect post mode then filters wont reset

Shouldn't it work other side tho?
