Hello
I need a suggestion please..
My client sell inks with a lot of colors, however thare are a lot of tonality for a single color, example thare are a lot of color of red, green yellow....and soo.
Now I wuold like to give the possibility our visitors to chose a color and see all tonality of that color availabe in the store.
what could be the best soloution to do that??
Now the the category for the ink is: ink>brand>list product
I was thinking to create other categories for each color to associate the product ,in base to its color.
Pratically I will associate the single product ink to its brand category and to its color category
What do you think about this solutions??
DO you have an ohter??

Thanks
Frank

Hi,

Why not but I see an interesting alternative:
You could create a custom product field where you would reference all your colors with the color image you want. In each product you would select the color you want for that product, and you could then have a filter attached to that custom product field so that your customers would be able to use the filter on your frontend so only display the products of the colors he wants.

OK i understand about to use the custom fields by checkbox to selct the colour in product.
So after that I associated the inks to the colors, but I dont understand what you mean with "And no, only one, with all the images HTML tag as values of the custom field."
However I created the custom field and the filter and the module connected to the filter , but i donìt know why when I select a color in the filter(by front-end) it shows me a lot of product also of the others category.
I attach the screen shot maybe there is something wrong.
Thanks
Frank

Hi,

That's because you have the "force redirect" setting turned on for your filter module. So the filtering will be done on all the products of the menu with the id 170 that you set in the settings of your filter module. If you turn off that option, and that you're already on a products listing menu item, the filtering will be done on the products of that listing.

OK I turned off force redirect and it looks working whan I am in product listing, but now I have a doubt after whay you said.
Pratically I can use the filter just when I am in a page with product and not in category listing...right?
Remember I want use the filter color with link, the problem is that I would like apply the filter to the category too.
IN my web site from an item menu "ink" I reach a page with category-brand of the ink, so i want apply already here the filter, in that way the user could chose the black color and it should display all the black colors of all brands.
Just to be clear, I want apply the filter starting with this page:
redskull.it/inchiostri-tattoo

Can i do that by the filter?? Or I have to follow my way with the category associated to the colors?

Thanks

Hi,

If you want to have a filter which apply to all the products then you can have a HikaShop filter module with the "force redirect" option activated.
Remember that with Joomla, you can create several instances of the same modules. And with an extension like Advanced Modules Manager, you can fine tune the display of such modules where you want them.
So you could for example have one filter module on the categories listing which would redirect, and another one on the products listing which wouldn't redirect.

Hello
But If I turn on "force redirect" it doesn't filter anything, If I try to chose the color black in the page that I suggested you before,It seems that the filter is not applied.

Hi,

Apparently, you've configured the filter module to not display on the page aghi-cartuccia-2/product/listing where you told it to display the results.
It's probably why it doesn't filter anything on that page since the filter module is not enabled there.

Hi,

That's a strange result.

Can you try turning on the "redirect POST mode" setting of the HikaShop configuration ?
That might help avoid the problem.

Hi,

From what I can see the issue is linked to the issue you have here:
www.hikashop.com/forum/install-update/88...ior-in-back-end.html
As there is some problems with the categories, the filter is deemed as non applicable on the listing as the system believes that it is not in the category selected in the filter. So I would recommend to first fix the issue as explained in the other thread.
Thrn, if you still have the problem after that, we can look further into it. So let us know how it goes.

Hi,

The other problem was with the category selected in the custom field.
It had to be the "product category" category.

Hi,

It should be possible yes.
You would have to enter the img HTML tag of the image in the title of the values of your custom field and the label would be replaced by the image on the filter. Then, with some CSS to hide the radio and have each image one next to each other, you'll get that display.
