I'm curious to hear from anyone using this mod, and whether you are having any problems with it? It does not seem to work properly, and I've been going back and forth with BCSE for 3 weeks now. Some of the issues I have:
- it does not "narrow down the filter values as the customer selects filters"
- when the filter selections return "no available items", it seems to block all items from appearing under that category and even choosing the back button (because there is no "reset filter" otpion) does not bring all the items back into view, even the filter boxes are gone. The only way I found to fix this is to go to the admin side and disable the mod, then re-enable it.
I also don't like the fact it does not have a "reset filter" button. I'd appreciate hearing from those of you using this mod, or anything similar.

Hi,

I am currently using it and have the same issues.

The essential feature would be to be able to reset the filter when moving between categories.

As customers get confused as the filter may be left on and so not all the images will be shown.

I have managed to add a reset filter button.

Do the following

edit the skin1/modules/Advanced_Filter/customer_filter.tpl file

change

<div class="filter_input">
  <input type="button" value="{$lng.lbl_bcse_advf_filter_input}" onclick="javascript: apply_filter();" />
  <input type="button" value="Reset Filter" onclick="javascript: reset_filter();" />
 </div>

to

<div class="filter_input">
  <input type="button" value="{$lng.lbl_bcse_advf_filter_input}" onclick="javascript: apply_filter();" />
 </div>

then edit skin1/modules/Advanced_Filter/customer_filter.js file

add the following function below the apply_filter()

function reset_filter(){
    if(!document.getElementById('customer_filter'))
        return;

    var wrapper = document.getElementById('customer_filter');

    var selectObjs = wrapper.getElementsByTagName('select');

    if(selectObjs.length < 1)
        return;

    var filter_query = '';

    if((!target_content_id || !document.getElementById(target_content_id)) && document.forms['filter_form']){
        document.forms['filter_form'].elements['mode'].value = 'filter_update';

        document.forms['filter_form'].submit();
    }else{
        ajax_filter_refresh(post_action,filter_query);
    }
}
