Title: Products listing Filter not saved
Post by: Elnino on December 08, 2011, 18:54:07 PM
Not really a bug but that would be a useful feature: right now the filter used on the listing product in the VM2 admin is never saved. It means that if you work on a specific product category for example you have to select it again and again everytime after having saved a product you were working on.

Everytime you go back to the product listing page the filter disappears and you have to select it again and then reload the page.

It is not super efficient.

Cheers.

Nice tip

That means that the filters are not stored in the session

Running VM2.0.0 final.

I thought this development would have been done for the final version ... I think it's super important to manage your product in an efficient way! Right now the filter is reset every time your refresh the page, it is really really annoying.

Cheers.

Problem, is to manage right the session when you have such values.

Some values are used in multiple views and getting the same value from the session can give some strange filter and at end a false render with nothing in the list.

Hi Electrocity,

I understand your point but there should be a solution. When working with the core joomla interface, your filter is saved in your articles or modules listing for instance. There should be a way to have something similar in VM2 as it's really a pain to have to select the category filter or retype the "free string" filter over and over again each time you go back to the product listing.

Cheers

I was just wondering if someone has an update on that as I'd love to be able to keep the product filter saved as well!
