FILTER PRESETS

Make sure that ‘Edit options for filter:’ is set to the right filter.

The number of columns set in general options (8) will generate here a section for every column: Elements for column X.

If the last element for the column will be set to something, a new empty element will appear. You can set up to 6 elements for one column.

Element X: choose what the filter will represent. Choose from: product type, product categories, product tags, shipping classes and any attribute that you have set for your products in Products → Attributes.

Input type: choose the input type for this filter: select box (A), typical radio (B), text radio (C), image radio (D), typical checkbox (E), text checkbox (F), image checkbox (G), range slider (H)

Selects and radios are single select fields. Checkboxes and ranges are multi select fields.

Images for image fields can be set in Products->Categories/Tags/Shipping Classes/Attributes(configure terms). They can not be used for product types.

Range sliders are suitable for terms with short names f.ex:

Attribute: Size

Terms: S, M, L, XL

After editing the presets, hit the ‘Save Changes’ button
