hi, i have a question about this clever filter, do i able to input all filter value in csv file and import the whole product import file in batch?

Re: Clever Filters from Cart on Steroids.com
 

Theoretically yes. You have to be very familiar with tables structure and to have some programming knowledge.

⌠Clever Filters■ is not designed and tested for importing product filters automatically when using xcart importing feature. But we can easily make a custom patch for your CSV.
Contact us if you are interested.

HI I bought this mod from you, did step by step everything from the installation guide but when I tryied to activate the mod in administration/settings/modules, my websites doesn't work. When I tried to open my sites again, there was an error message as below:

Warning: file_exists() [function.file-exists]: open_basedir restriction in effect. File(/usr/home/gme123/domains/electron.com/public_html/admin/../../../../../../../usr/home/ioncube/ioncube_loader_fre_5.2.so) is not within the allowed path(s): (/home/gme123/:/tmp:/var/tmp:/usr/local/lib/php/) in /usr/home/gme123/domains/electron.com/public_html/modules/Clever_Filters/func.php on line 2
Site error: the file /usr/home/gme123/domains/electron.com/public_html/modules/Clever_Filters/func.php requires the ionCube PHP Loader ioncube_loader_fre_5.2.so to be installed by the site administrator.


FYI I also upload the certificate to xcartdirectory/admin

What can I do now? Also I think you can be more specific in your instalation guide, especially in section FTP upload of files and SQL patch add.

Thanks
Tom

Thank you
Tom

Re: Clever Filters from Cart on Steroids.com
 

No, you are wrong. Because you send your request to office and not to support (please see our support page), your request was not treated as urgent.

I've made a support ticket right now for you.

Re: Clever Filters from Cart on Steroids.com
 

while installing this, there is a folder named "skin 1". To which folder i have to upload this on server? any ideas?

Re: Clever Filters from Cart on Steroids.com
 

skin1 is meant to be skin/common_files/ . They misnamed it.

Re: Clever Filters from Cart on Steroids.com
 

Shane is correct - skin/common_files is the default skin folder for x-cart 4.4.2

Re: Clever Filters from Cart on Steroids.com
 

hi
i just wanted to ask you one thing that price filtering is possible with the clever filters module?

because i see that in some of your example site
like
http://www.scauneonline.ro/
http://www.cadouripentrubarbati.ro/
http://www.fungift.ro/

and can i have a trial of this module?

please reply ASAP
thanks

Re: Clever Filters from Cart on Steroids.com
 

Hi,

Yes, price filtering is possible. The slider customization is not included in the module though.

Here's a sample of what the basic version of the module will look like:

http://www.gosuperstore.co.uk/home.php?cat=276

I'm afraid a demo is not possible at this time.

Alin

Re: Clever Filters from Cart on Steroids.com
 

We have released a new version of Clever Filters today, including some great styling improvements and some bugfixes.

Existing customers may download the new version from their download area.

Re: Clever Filters from Cart on Steroids.com
 

Thanks for this ... Some nice changes listed in the changelog :-)

Re: Clever Filters from Cart on Steroids.com
 

I'm very interested in this module. How much is the slider for the price? And does it work in 4.4.4?

Does it work seamlessly with CDSEO Pro?

Re: Clever Filters from Cart on Steroids.com
 

Hi sparrowdog,

I'm not sure what you mean by how much is the slider - this is included in the module.

Clever Filters does work perfectly in 4.4.4

CDSEO Pro is not supported at this time - but we are working on an update for this. In about one week, CDSEO Pro will be supported.

Alin

Re: Clever Filters from Cart on Steroids.com
 

An earlier message on the forum from you mentioned the slider for the price wasn't a standard part of the software.

Please let me know when CDSEO Pro is supported and I will take a closer look at it. Are there any other popular mods you know of that may affect the ability for it to work?

Re: Clever Filters from Cart on Steroids.com
 

The slider is included in the regular version of the module. If you want to edit the way the slider looks, you have to do that yourself - the customization of the slider is not included. I hope this is more clear :)

I'll let you know when CDSEO Pro is supported - as I have mentioned, probably in about one week.

We haven't encountered any problems with any other popular mods so far.

Re: Clever Filters from Cart on Steroids.com
 

Do each of the filters have to be created or can they be pulled from the product options and variants? We have thousands of products with 5-6 sizes each. Manually updating all of them would take a lot of time unless we can find a mod that pulls the information from the previously created product options.

Re: Clever Filters from Cart on Steroids.com
 

No problem - you can import the filters through a CSV file.

Re: Clever Filters from Cart on Steroids.com
 

Sorry, I guess you didnt understand my question. The problem is, we dont have the available sizes listed in the extra fields. We only have it listed under product options. Would we manually have to add every product option to each an every extra field for this mod to work?

Re: Clever Filters from Cart on Steroids.com
 

Can this filter be placed on the home screen? I purchased the BSCE Advanced Filter because I needed more in depth filtering for products. It seems to do the job but there is no home page option to display it from the start and they don't seem to cooperative to get it to work that way. In my situation I have a car audio and accessories store. It would be nice to start filtering from the start so you can jump off from your make, model and year of the vehicle first. The way the BCSE filter works is it starts to filter from when you go into a certain category.

My first original site was a version 4.0.19 and I used Cart-Labs Make, Model, Year mod that did place the filter right at the top of the home screen in the header but it didn't provide any advanced filtering thus you had to create multiple products to be displayed in the right filters. I'm just looking for a filter that has a home screen feature and then filters from there. I hope I made sense there. I've already got over a $100 invested in a filter that doesn't do what I need it to do.

Re: Clever Filters from Cart on Steroids.com
 

Jonathan - If you are able to export those product options in a CSV file, you should then be able to manipulate that file in Excel so you can import the filters.

KCAutosound - Yes, we can make the filters display on the front page. The front page will display all the available filters, while the categories will display only the filters available for products in that particular category.

Re: Clever Filters from Cart on Steroids.com
 

Is this something that can only be done if you install it or will you provide me the info to do it myself. I am currently using the new Ability theme from xcartmods

Re: Clever Filters from Cart on Steroids.com
 

This is a tweak that we can do for free even if you install it yourself.

Please note that the integration in the design is not included though - but if you know CSS you should be able to do that yourself too.

Re: Clever Filters from Cart on Steroids.com
 

I have just installed on 4.5.1 but the config is non existent. Do I have to manually move it to the left nav as it only appears at the top of the category not in the left nav like all the examples.

Also the filters do not work. When I click on one of the filters I get a 404 error page. The url is going from http://domain.com/category/ to http://domain.com/category/filter/

Re: Clever Filters from Cart on Steroids.com
 

Using the default checkboxes should options not disappear if no products are available under that selection?

Re: Clever Filters from Cart on Steroids.com
 

Thank you Phil!

After Phil's suggestions and customizations requests, we have fixed the bugs specified in the previous posts.

We have also included the filters on manufacturers pages and search results pages.

Re: Clever Filters from Cart on Steroids.com
 

Hi! I need help on the filter module, in this page http://www.sprintoworld.com/shop/home.php?cat=1 (on product lists) i need to insert a code below the Price line where in, if this product is included in filter "On Sale" or filter "Popular Pick" it will display "On Sale" or "Popular Pick" below the price line. I tried to use this code in products_t.tpl but didn't work:

{if $product.fId eq "9" }
On Sale!
{/if}

can you help me on the right code? Thanks!

X-Cart version 4.5.4

Re: Clever Filters from Cart on Steroids.com
 

I use variables like this on mine. It may point you in the right direction.

{if $cat == 3 && $filtreVechi.filtre|@count == 1 && $filtreVechi.filtre.0.fNume == "Modalu"}

Re: Clever Filters from Cart on Steroids.com
 

Hi Donna,

Please refer to your support ticket for assistance. Phil's message might also assist. I don't fully understand what you need to do though, but once clarified, we'll be able to help through the ticket.
