Re: Troubles with BCS Engineering Advanced Filter Options
Sorry Carrie my bad, I was thinking of different module, you are correct this mod is $99.
Like I said I have not installed yet as I want to add new products first and than make a DB backup before running sql patch. We'll see how it goes.

I have finally installed the module but there is no place to add values in product_modify page in admin for created fields in mod options like it shows in screenshots on mod page (http://www.bcsengineering.com/store/advanced-filter-for-x-cart.html)? The link to add fields shows up on customer side viewing the product? also not logged in shows them? that is not right. From instructions: "6. In skin/common_files/main/product_details.tpl, add: {*BCSE Begin - Advanced Filter module*} {if $active_modules.Advanced_Filter} {include file="modules/Advanced_Filter/product_modify.tpl"} {/if} {*BCSE End*} After: {if $active_modules.Special_Offers} {include file="modules/Special_Offers/product_modify.tpl"} {/if}" Is this code suppose to go somewhere else? like in product_modify.php inside admin folder maybe? Thanks.

Re: Troubles with BCS Engineering Advanced Filter Options
I figured it out, file product_details.tpl needed to go to different folder.
I was putting it in skin/common_files/CUSTOMER/main/ instead of in skin/common_files/main/

Re: Troubles with BCS Engineering Advanced Filter Options
Has anyone tried to make a search box that would work from any page (not dependent on being on actual category page) and display advanced filter fields and their respective values?
Would that be possible with this mod? Thanks.

I have this on my site. I contacted BCSE to see if there was a way to have it on my homepage to start filtering from the start. I think that would be the way it should work for a automotive accessories site. I used to have a Make, Model, Year mod/filter on my previous site from Cart-Labs that did exactly that. Right on the homepage just below the menu you could start to filter products to your car. This one does not offer this. If there is a better filter out there that someone is using please let me know. I don't want to spend all the time typing in filters into the database for all the products to just have to do it again with a better mod.

Re: Troubles with BCS Engineering Advanced Filter Options
KCAutosound,
Thanks for your input. What did BCS tell you about that possibility when you contacted them? I wanted to get Cart-Labs MMY mod but their website is down unfortunately. Does anyone know the status of Cart-Labs? are they just out of business? On other hand I guess no matter what filter mod we use, still all products will need to have their MMY values specified somewhere for filter to pick it up, only we need for users to be able to filter from homepage or any page for that matter and not just from categories. I'm also aware of QTs MMY mod but years ago they did similar mod for us (for xcart 4.1) and it was nothing but bugs and very slow. Has anyone tried their latest mod? Thanks.

Re: Troubles with BCS Engineering Advanced Filter Options
This is the message that I received from Gary jolley @ BCSE about having the filter on the homepage
"Hi Travis, the filter mod will only show on categories, manufacturer pages and search result pages. We would have to customize the mod to have it show on the home page."
