We can edit the options in catalog->manufacturer,one doubt cleared,
How do I add another filter called color

[Brent]

That's correct.

Now, under admin/product., you will find MODEL.
That is the other filter. It is on the manufacturer page as well as category and search pages.

This can be anything you want. It is also has the feature or being available from the drop box to the left.
Makes for easy coping of repeated use of models.

hope that helps.

Need to add another category for search similar to manufacturer,it should come below manufaturer,tried to copy the same code and doing some alterations but its getting bit compliacted.

you provided a text box in category option,serach and manufacture options,i need to add a text box similarly to enter value for length,breadth and height,starts from 0 to 999
999 is made to stay as a constant
user can change a value frm 0 to 999
its an urgent requirement ,

could you please guide me.

What is the purpose of this text box.
Is this length, width and height used to determine quantity of product ordered.
If so, what you are proposing would be hard to implement. It would not affect price.

Can you explain in more detail what you are trying to accomplish. I'm not sure I understand.

Hi,
thanks for your reply

Its for a granite website
there are several search options for a product
1.material
2.quality
3. color
4.length( from ___ to 999) ___ is to be filled by customer
5.width ( from ___ to 999) ___ is to be filled by customer
6.depth ( from ___ to 999) ___ is to be filled by customer
7.textual search

No issues with 1,2,3 and 7
problem is wd 4,5,6

once the search is done
a table of 7 columns is to be displayed
1.thumbnail
2.code
3.block
4.dimension(length X width)
5.quantity
6.depth
7.details(button to link to details page)

in the details page the client wil request for a quote depending on the table displayed above.
so no issue wd the price for nw.
it wil b calculated n sent through mail.
dont exactly know the purpose of searching with the length,width,depth attributes.
but client wants me to provide this way for now.
Am I confusing you.
but it is an immediate requirement,I had implemented this code for shopping cart,its really user friendly
so using this code for another website.
this is the second website im developing using Alegrocart

You could create input fields for each of these items.

Look at calalog/controller.search.php.
At the beginning, you will see examples of how the post information is retrieved from the form post and assigned to variables.
Just do something like that.

If you look at payment confirm, you will see the code to Email you the results.
Or look at account create. There are form fields, validation methods, and Email Code which would be a good model.

If I might suggest, get WAMP of XAMPP server so you can play on a local server.
