Filters select boxes for products

I see currently we got merchant, brand and price filters.
Is it possible to show more filters color, sizes, category/sub category filters too ?
How easy or hard is this?
Thanks

Hi,

If you have Category Hierarchy enabled, and feed categories mapped into the Category Hierarchy using the configuration page for each category then you should see a Category filter displayed - bear in mind filters will only display if the query used to generate the contents of the drop down box for that filter returned any results - also note that specific filters are not displayed when the search results are showing an index associate with that filter, for example if you click Merchant A-Z, and select a merchant, there will be no merchant filter shown on the results page - let me know if you're still not sure.

Regarding filters for custom fields - yes these can be added easily by replicating all the code associated with one of the existing filters (typically brandFilter since it is the last in the sequence of merchant / category / brand filter code). There is a step-by-step guide for the changes required to do this in this thread - which actually uses a custom `colour` field as the example, but notice the difference in spelling...!

Cheers,
David.
