PRODUCT_LIST_FILTER

Recommended Posts

Can someone enlighten me as to exactly what this feature is? It only seems to occur once in the entire site (default.php) so i cannot see how it might function.

 

What I need to achieve is a site that works with the products of only one manufacturer, even though there are many other products in the database. I can set up only a single manufacturer in that table if needed and will definitely not show the manufacturers' box, but AFAICT that doesn't prevent other products being listed.

 

At first glance it looks as if PRODUCT_LIST_FILTER is to apply a filter, but I cannot see how it can operate.

 

Anyone?

It is a product filter based upon categories.

Manufacturer: Microsoft

Article: mouse

Category: Mice

 

Manufacturer: Microsoft

Article: Windows XP  

Category: Software

 

Now if you select manufacturer Microsoft from the main menu you will see both the mouse and the Windows XP. Use the drop down filter to show products from Microsoft in either the category Mice or Software.

I understand that process, but I cannot see what PRODUCT_LIST_FILTER has to do with it. I cannot find where it is defined, even though it appears in default.php and if it's not been defined then it's NOT being used.

 

Do you know where it's defined? Or can you suggest anyway to show ONLY products from 1 (preset) manufacturer?

It's one of those that is defined and pulled from the database. Right now it looks like it is either an on or off thing, set from the admin panel. If you want to change it to show only from one manufacturer, take a look at where it is used in default.php (around line 227), and go from there.
