create a filter based on brand

i am trying to create a filter based on brand, using a single dropdown

i am able to create the dropdown with all the brands, however when you choose the brand, nothing appears. i have assigned brands to the products.

here are the filter and module settings:

Hi,

Brands are working like categories.

For this filter, the best way will be to create a new custom field called "Brands" and apply it on the table "product".
Then create the filter on this custom field.

Hope this will help you.

this did not work

now nothing appears at all, and yes is filled in custom field "brand" on the product

also, what if anything is needed in "values"...there appears to be no documation for this field



thanks..

Oups, my mistake.

Your configuration was good, you just have to set your products categories instead of "manufacturer" for the "category" parameter in the filter configuration.

a little better, but no products appear...

In your product edition page, do you assign a brand to the product ?

yes...

here is the result when you choose amba/jeeves from the dropdown list:

maybe bit offtopic, but i like to make a filter too, but i dont see this option anywhere... ?

Got it...now it works!

Final issue....

can i edit result page to remove parts circled in red....

thanks, using css i was able to remove the top one.

the bottom however is not a single filter module...they are unstyled versions of the 2 filters on the left side of the page.

any ideas...?

thanks

Walter

nope...still not working

OK...think I finally have it!

Sorry to be a pain, but having a hard with getting filters right!

Thanks for the help!
