Ajax Event only fires second time on category archive

#36302

Hi, can you help me understand why the following only fires the second time I use the range slider filter, but not the first time, when viewing a product category archive?

$(document).on(‘sf:ajaxfinish’, ‘.searchandfilter’, function() {
console.log(‘done’);
});

I’m using the filter at http://advanced968.inmotionhosting.com/~onadrape/drapery/curtain-rod-finials/iron-finials/iron-finials-for-12-rods/. If I use the filter at http://advanced968.inmotionhosting.com/~onadrape/shop, it fires the first time.

Secondly, and perhaps this is related, I don’t want the URL to change to http://advanced968.inmotionhosting.com/~onadrape/shop anytime someone uses the range slider. I want people to stay on the original category archive, and I want the results to only apply to the original category archive. When someone applies a filter while viewing category A, I don’t want results from category B to suddenly appear. I have dozens of categories, so I would hope I don’t have to create dozens of search filters. How do I set this up?

Thanks!

Hi Robert

I checkout the ajax event and it seems to work as expected.

If you go to the shop:

http://advanced968.inmotionhosting.com/~onadrape/shop/

And test there, it will be fired every time.

The only thing I can think of, is that when you are testing you ajax functionality from:

http://advanced968.inmotionhosting.com/~onadrape/drapery/curtain-rod-finials/iron-finials/iron-finials-for-12-rods/

The first submission/interaction with the slider is not an ajax request, it is a redirect to shop page.

I’m testing in chrome.

RE the second point, this is a feature that I am working on.

S&F is designed to work on a single results page, which is why when you interact with the form you get a redirect.

Essentially, it will be possible to use S&F to filter taxonomy archive in a future update.

Thanks
