Hi,

Generally, filters work fine - with one exception so far: when filtering by price, discounts are being 'ignored', meaning that products can end up showing in the 'wrong' price bracket. In other words, it appears that only the price before discount is being considered, not the price after discount.
Which IMHO is 'wrong' from the customer's perspective as presently he won't see products that are within his budget after discount.

Example:
- Two filter price brackets: one $0 - $1000, the other $1000-$2000.
- A product with a regular price of $1100.
- A discount of 10% applied to it.
Result: The discounted product, now $990, still shows in the $1000-$2000 price bracket, not in the $0-$1000 bracket where it belongs.

A fix would be appreciated - thanks!

Aaaww, too bad, really thought it was just a thing of a bit more arithmetics... something computers are much better with than human beings.
Thanks anyway for the explanations, hope I'll be able to pass them on as well when asked...

I agree that it's a valid and practical workaround for a small to mid-sized store with the occasional discount. I'm already using custom fields as cheats for other, simpler purposes, but for a market thingy with lots of products and vendors, and ever-changing discounts I feel it doesn't want to be managed manually.
I'll see how far I get without the extra math.

Hello we've the same issue,
is there allready a way how we can get the discount prices to work also with the filter?
Thanks.

I'd like to put my two cents in.
Such behavior contradicts with seller's intention. As a seller, I'm giving discounts to attract a buyer, to make it visible to the buyer when he filters my product. For me, the more products he will find, the better. But hikashop filter, so to speak , works against me.
As a seller I don't care how many cache table my website is going to have or how mach server calculation resource I'm going to spend on pre-calculation of prices, simply because if my customer won't see this product - I won't sell it.
I for one will probably go with an additional custom field with pre-calculated price, but it would be nice to have even the simpliest workaround from hikashop team in future.
