Title: Advanced search by parameters, filter by price
Post by: athree on September 15, 2011, 17:32:49 PM
Whether there is such functionality, or only with third-party extensions?

The problem there is the dynamic price building of vm2.

We have two options, sorting for the costprice, which may work for some shops. Or adding a price cache, which will be obviously a more complex solution.

Maybe it is already working,.. writing this searching stuff makes fun, since we have a nice system now. But by product type is maybe already working just a bit hidden, but at least planned.

Hi,

After you do a normal search the custom fields are displayed and you can do a search by custom field and normal search.
For the moment the search by customfield is not finished and i/ we don't guaranty the displayed result are filtered correctly.

AND if that need is there for an individual shop, it can easily be organized that way.
