This extension is an addon for the Journal theme's Super Filter, which allows you to group 'option values' together into your own custom option-value-groups. Consequently, when a customer uses the Journal filter to find a product, he will no longer be faced with a huge list of ugly named values. Instead he will be presented with a short, coherent and nicely sorted list of your newly created option-value groups.
The extension is generic for any option, so you can use it to group any option you like. It is a must have extension for color dials, but also for organizing other options, like shoe-sizes, bra-sizes and everything else!
e.g. If your products contain too many colors for practicality, or the color names are a mess, then this module will gather any recognized colors, each into its own group, while all unrecognized colors will fall into the unrecognized category displayed at the bottom or top of the sort order.
In the very same manner, you can tidy up any and all of your other options.
Designed for Journal, and compatible with most extensions!
A Journal 3.x version of this extension is also available.
- Group option-values in any option.
- Sort your groups.
- Multilanguage capable.
- RegEx support.
- Fast Cache Mode.
- Test Mode.
- Journal theme compatible.
Grouping
You can group multiple option-values within any option (e.g. Color or Size etc.), to be displayed with a single name and a single image.
You can use any language to group into the same 'option-value group' and you can assign any sort-order for presenting your groupped option values.
REGEX
Powerful RegEx can be used to group those difficult option-values.
To learn more about Regular Expressions visit the MySQL website.
Cache Mode
When your option-values are too many that the user experience may start to suffer, turn on Cache Mode. Tested to handle tens of thousands of option-values in record time.
When in cache mode though, you must remember to update your cache whenever you add new products!
You can also turn on 'Auto-Update Cache on Save', so the cache is always updated when you click save.
Test Mode
Invaluable when you want to see the option-values remaining, so you can group them. It essentially helps you to check which option-values have matched and which have not.
