One problem though and I’m wondering if anyone else has experienced the same thing… I have two websites with one store each and then two storeviews per store (for languages). My websites are basically the same but with different pricing and shipping methods, they share the same categories, attributes and products. Now, the thing is that my layered navigation shows up just like it should on my default website but on my “second” website I can only see a few of the attributes, there seems to be no logic in what’s showing and what is not. I was thinking that the url to my second website is different and so maybe the path to the attributes are not correct but then I shouldn’t see any attributes at all?! And all other connections are functioning like they should, it’s just the layered navigation that is not showing all it’s got. This is quite strange (and annoying) - if anyone has any idea as to how I could solve this you would make me very very happy! EDIT: Ok… So after an hour of looking and searching I realize there is a special cash for layered navigation. Ater refreshing that it works just like it should! Now I’m very very happy!

Just a thought (from someone not very familiar with php) - would it be possible to change the text on the drop-downs “Please select” when on a certain store view. I would like to have one more language and I’m thinking that it should be doable with an if-sentence or something… But as I said - I’m not too good with these things.

Do you know how this could be modified slightly so that the headers (e.g. size, colour etc) are given in the dropdown instead, like here: http://www.bravissimo.com/products/clothing Thanks

earthlytreasures Total Posts: 12 Joined: 2008-10-20 Ignore user	Exactly - so that ‘Please Select’ is different for each dropdown, so ‘Size’ or ‘Price’ and so on… ?

earthlytreasures Total Posts: 12 Joined: 2008-10-20 Ignore user	Ok, I’ve figured how to change the dropdown menu headers from ‘Please Select’ to something else, like Size, Colour etc… Perhaps this will be useful for someone else. You need to find the line: echo ‘<option selected="selected">Please select</option>’; in filter.phtml and change it to: echo ‘<option selected="selected">’.$atts->getName().’</option>’;

Discovery Total Posts: 767 Joined: 2007-12-29 Ignore user	Adding manufacturer logos.. This is a brill script, I had to add brand logos to it. The logos went into /media/catalog/logos and have the same names but with underscores. They is also gifs. An extra procedure is added: if(!function_exists("_displayBrands")){ function _displayBrands($atts,$displayitemcount){ echo '<ol>'; foreach($atts->getItems() as $_item){ $brand = $_item->getLabel(); $brand = str_replace(' ', '_',$brand); echo '<div class="BrandNav"><a href="'.$_item->getUrl().'"><img vertical-align="middle" style="float: left; margin: 0 2px 2px 0;" src="/media/catalog/logos/'.$brand.'.gif"><li>'.$_item->getLabel(); if($displayitemcount){ echo ' ('.$_item->getCount().')'; } echo '</a></div></li>'; } echo '</ol>'; } } The case selector gets an added switch: `case 'Manufacturer': _displayBrands($this,$displayitemcount); break;` All works, however, I have not been able to align the logos with the text so they are all on the same center line. I have a single entry in the CSS for the above, ‘BrandNav’: .BrandNav { clear: both; vertical-align: middle } Also tried putting some inline code, but no joy in getting the horizontal alignment exactly how I wants it. Will do for the job in hand, but can some CSS wizz do it right? Signature How to ask questions

The Name is used at the backend, so it’s not necessarily the same we’d use in Front-end (especially not with more than one language). I’ve found $this->__($_filter->getName()) in view.phtml, but I’m not able to use that reference in filter.phtml. Anyone able to help? - Jesper
