Filter

OpenCart has a built-in filter module and everything needed for its creation and configuration. However, this is a very labor-intensive process. Therefore, users prefer to use third-party applications that provide more conveniences in terms of automation. Of course, this costs a considerable amount of money.

The proposed tool will automate the creation of the filter built into OpenCart and use it where purchasing expensive applications may be unjustified.

The tool scans all products and creates a structure in which Attribute names take on the role of filter groups, and Attribute Values take on the role of the filters themselves.

Visually, the filter looks as described in this article.

You can fully use metadata to improve filter quality. For this, you need to make preliminary settings.

To display your metadata in the filter, you need to install the modifier attributipro3.frontend.filter.ocmod.zip from the ocmod folder.

Setting the visibility of the filter itself is not discussed here; study the OpenCart documentation.
