    Hey Igor

    I’m not sure I follow you.

    Reset should clear the form.

    Can you explain a little more, do you have a link that would help explain your example?

    Thanks

    Hey Ross
    Thanks for your quick response. Sorry for a rather complicated post.
    Here is a link http://www.fs7.com.ua/shop/?_sft_product_cat=remni&_sft_pa_brend=armani

    As you can see here I selected a category “remni” and a brand attribute.

    The issue is, if I press Reset, It redirects here http://www.fs7.com.ua/shop/
    Which is a page that contains all the products in all the categories.

    But if you are running an e-shop with lots of filters, this is surely not the way you want Reset to work. It should reset the filters, but NOT the category, therefore we should still be inside product_cat=remni after pressing it.

    Yeah, I know that your plugin treats categories as if they were product tags, but I’m sure there should be some way to work this around.
    I have some skills with coding, so if you at least give me some hints how this could be accomplished and in what places in your code should I look into – I hope we could find a solution.

    Thank you.

    Hey Igor

    So to get this straight, you want a reset button that doesn’t change the results, just clears the search form?

    Whereas the current implementation, reset also includes resetting the results.

    Thanks

    Hey Ross

    I want a reset button that doesn’t get me out of a category I’m in. If I’m in “Man’s sport shoes”, I want to remain in “Man’s sport shoes” after pressing Reset. Thought that would be pretty intuitive(
    Sorry if my english is not that perfect, though.

    Okay, for the sake of saving you the trouble of asking me to clarify my question another time, I’ve already found a way to do it : )

    For anyone who may be reading these posts in the future – if you want to force Reset button not to reset categories, a simple way to do this is to set the categories filter to be in a dropdown, hide it with css if necessary, and then delete the JQuery part, which resets dropdown filters.

    Basically I had to open search-filter-build.min.js in your plugin, find a resetForm() function in it and on line 1448 delete the folowing exact part of code:
    t.find("select:not([multiple='multiple']) > option:first-child").prop("selected", !0), t.find("select[multiple='multiple'] > option").prop("selected", !1),

    It covers all dropdown filters, since they are made as <select> boxes. Now dropdown filters won’t be resetting along with all others.

    There is however one more thing in your on the whole nice plugin that surprised me in a negative way, namely the price filter.

    I noticed that it can determine maximum price only by looking in the database for the maximum price out of all products in the shop, not just the products that are filtered.
    If I untick the option to use the highest value in a database, price filter won’t work at all.

    Therefore I will always get the same enormous price range, no matter which product category I’m in or which filters are currently selected, which can be pretty useless in most of cases.

    Here’s a good example: only 2 prices and a huge price range, which in a case like this won’t be really functional at all:
    http://www.fs7.com.ua/shop/?_sft_product_cat=remni&_sfm__regular_price=1+5500&_sft_pa_kolir=krasnij

    Can price filter’s code somehow be slightly altered so it would get maximum price from the prices of currently filtered products? Can you give me a hint where exactly is the code I can edit to try to make it work? Ideally, of course, if you’d be so kind as to do it yourself.
    After all that’s what a price filter’s fuctionality should look like.
    Thanks.

    Thanks for the update, I follow what you mean.

    RE the price slider, would you believe that this is the first time this has come up?

    Its actually not something I’ve considered before either. For me the price (range sliders) remaining fixed would be ideal – eg:

    http://www.asos.com/men/sale/jackets-coats/cat/pgecategory.aspx?cid=2112&ctaref=shop|salehub|jacketsandcoats#parentID=Rf989&pge=0&pgeSize=36&sort=-1&state=Rf989%3D4865

    Imagine I want a coat, and I know I have a £30 budget – and I want to filter through some options such as styles etc – one thing I would certainly not expect is for the price slider to be jumping around on my searches, possibly even jumping out of the range I’ve set.

    But I do like the idea!

    I’ll give it some thought on how I could implement it and how complex it would be to do – but as no one else has asked for it it there are other updates that will be taking priority for now.

    Thanks

    Hey Ross, thanks for answering, though it doesn’t clarify much.
    I imagine the plugin was adapted for Woo not that long ago, because other filters I’ve used worked the way I described here.
    I’ll see what I can do with the code myself or with a help of fellow programmers.
    If I’ll come up with a solution – I’ll be sure to post it here too.

    Hey Igor

    Thanks for the update, let me know if you find anything and I’ll update when there has been some movement with this.

    Thanks

    Hi Ross
    Wanted to update this topic with Ajax not working issue, but luckily had it fixed after we removed some script issues on a website.

    Do have one question, though. Why didn’t you make widget headers for empty filters hide automatically? It results in endless list of widget headers if you have a lot of taxonomies, like in my case http://www.fs7.com.ua/product-category/choloviche/aksesuari/choloviche-aksesuari-2/remni/
    As much as additional scripting to fix this increases my expertise, it also increases the time for page load.
    Just a thing you should think about before the next update, probably.
