Hello !

Thank you

Sure. You need to specify product properties first. That is under product catalog. 

 

Then you need to assign them to products. 

 

Then you need to choose which properties shall be filters for certain categories. 

 

@Ivan Holbi please see if we need a wiki page for it.

Thanks, understood. It looks like this functionality has been recently moved to an App.

https://app.oscommerce.com/productpropertiesfilters

Please bear with us while we add content to the Apps in the App Shop, and then you will be able to download the App and have it added to your site.

Please kindly note we have decided to allow download of all premium Apps without payments till the 1st of January 2023.

It is part of ProductPropertiesFilters application. It is under development right now. I think we will release it in two weeks.

We're currently preparing a new installation of OsCommerce 4 to replace an old shop installation. So far it's been quite a journey but we're making good progress. Trying to add properties and use those as filters we stumbled accross this topic.

First off I have to admit that there's no chance I'd ever gotten an idea of having to install an extension for a function that seems like it's already in place. Before installing the plugin there is no way to toggle the switches on the category as seen on the screenshot bale76 posted.

We've installed and activated the extension and can now slide options, however saving those values will never work. They will always be ticked off when opening the settings again plus the price filter that's on the system by default is missing once the extension is activated.

I'm wondering if this project is actively worked on and worth working on as the documentation is really bad, barely showing anything but obvious options. As much as I'd like to use it, it does not seem to be moving and there's too many bugs that are hard to fix without any documentation.

Hope someone has found a way to actually use the Product Properties Filters.

Thank you

Hi Florian,

We tried it from our end and it worked as it should. Please PM me with the login details to the admin area of your website for us to check this issue further.

Best regards,

Ivan

Hi Florian,

Thank you for sharing the login details to the admin area of your website.

We checked and the module Product Properties Filters was switched off so we switched it back on.

We would recommend to upgrade your website to the latest osCommerce version (4.12.56860) to make sure this functionality will work as it should.  

Best regards,

Ivan

Hi Ivan,

thank you for checking, yes it was turned off. I did that to include the pictures in the private message. The problem as described remains when turning it on. There is no way to save settings while having it turned on. Should have turned it back on that's on me as we took the screenshots. I'm aware that we are a few updates behind but haven't seen anything in the patch notes that would have an impact on this issue.

Our installation will have to be modified outside of the backend to allow us to work with it as there is no option to work with articles only allowed above a certain age. I assume there won't be an overview which files will be changed during the updates? 

Cheers
Florian

Hi Florian,

Regarding the issue you reported we checked it from our end on one of your categories (https://yourwebsite/admin/categories/categoryedit?categories_id=97#tab_5) and it worked as it should on both the front end and the back end. Please retest on the other categories. If you still face any issues please let us know.

Regarding "Our installation will have to be modified outside of the backend to allow us to work with it as there is no option to work with articles only allowed above a certain age. I assume there won't be an overview which files will be changed during the updates?" 

when you press Update Now button to apply the system update, the system checks all the updating files and if it detects a file that was changed it displays a warning message and allows you to ignore the update for such a file.

So, you can apply an update and leave the files you modified intact.

But the osCommerce may become unstable, because some of the files will be updated and some of them will not.

Best regards,

Ivan

@Ivan Holbi

Thank you so much for the help, it's updated to the latest version now and that has fixed the issue for us. No conflict with any of the customization that we have noticed. We can continue to try to get it to work for us now. Sorry for the late reply it's been busy days with the old shop we're running.

Cheers
Florian
