Upgraded filters
11th Jul 2012
Managing large numbers of products can be a real challenge, and filters are often a great help, however we've never been totally happy with the way these work in the URL. So today we pushed an update which improves the routing for listings with filters and massively simplified the template logic needed to make use of them.
First you will notice that our example filter template in the templates snippets section of the documentation has been greatly simplified.
But more importantly - you now have the option to use filter names in your site's URLs.
So for example, where you used to have
example.com/products/?filters[]=34&filters=23&filters=12&filters=7 you can now use example.com/products/6/large/small/3/pink/blue/.The old filter URL method will still work, so there's no need to worry about having to upgrade your site's templates. This is just an alternative option for those that prefer the new URL scheme.
