Predefined filters / dependencies

-- HikaShop version -- : HikaShop Business 2.3.1
-- Joomla version -- : 3.3.1
-- PHP version -- : 5.5.9

Hello,

is it possible to create filters with predefined values dependent on current category?

What I am trying to do is:
I have multiple categories with subcategories. A category "tea" has subcategories (types of tea) "black", "green" and "white". If a user is currently in the main category "tea", the user should see filters "price", "name" and "type"(subcategory). But once the user enters a subcategory (e.g. "black"), he/she should only see the filters "price" and "name" AND the filter "type" should have a predefined value type=black. Now, I can create multiple hikashop filter modules for different locations (category / subcategory), but I don't know how to force all filters to search in a single category. Or the only way to do it is to create new filters "price" and "name" for each subcategory? Because there are about 30 subcategories and 5 filters...

Best regards,
Sergey

Hello Nicolas,

thank you for your reply.

I think it is what I did. I created a filter for "type" and set it to the category "tea". Then, I created two new filters for price and name. But to what category do I have to restrict these two filters? I want them to search in the subcategory which is currently open: only in "black" when I'm in subcategory "black" and only in "green" when I'm in subcategory "green".

Best regards,
Sergey
