  • Horizontal or vertical layout, with option to choose number of columns in horizontal layout.
  • Multi (combo) parameters filtering.
  • Configurable filter parameters (option to select specific parameter to display in the search).
  • Multi display options for each filter parameter. Eg: you can choose to display a pricing range as min-max value or as a preset dropdown or even multiselct or radio select.
  • Easy backend for configuration
  • Support multiple themes by default, and add more if user expects
  • Dynamic counter that is to auto update counter of each filtering value
  • AJAX Filter ready
  • Auto Filter function
  • Auto complete search function
  • Configurable Ajax filter feature for modules

Filter not usefull for me



Posted on 12 February 2019
Functionality
Very limited use. No free content can be displayed in the filter area.
Ease of use
Goes so
Support
About general portal, answers are usually very short and not always understandable.
Documentation
Very close
Value for money
You have to buy a package with several tools, even if only the filter is desired. It is too expensive for that.
I used this to: It is no longer used. The company was so fair and refunded the purchase price.
Owner's reply: Hi,
Sad to hear the extension does not meet to your expectation.
It would be like to add address the issues you are facing in extension, I tried to look on support forum with your name, but its found.
Can you open a support thread on our official support forum or Ticket help-desk : https://www.joomlart.com/forums/ ,
So we are able to check the issue you are facing and get it fixed for you.

Thanks and Regards


Very slow.

I say Excellent, but...



Posted on 12 September 2014
I say it is excellent in terms of search and sort of k2 items and categories,but the major problem I face is that it is not designed to be responsive and it does not fit in responsive templates.
Congratulations to the Joomlaart team for a very useful extension. What makes these guys different though is their excellent support when in need.

Thanx
Dear Sirs! Thank you for a such great extension! I've tried to play with it on your demo site and have noticed, that 'slider' doesn't work on a touch-screen devices.

Perhaps you just have to change event-handler to the new one. From 'mouse-over' to 'touch-???'

But extension in any case - one of the best for K2. Thank you!

Great extension

great extension and excelent support... I'm very happy with this component :)
Flawless. Worth every penny (cent) of the $50 for a year's membership to the extension club. If you have a large quantity of items in a K2 category (or multiple categories) and want to make it easy for your users to find what they want then this is for you.



With the multi-site licencing structure this tool will pay for itself 10 times in the year!



My only gripe is that I didn't spot the float that was messing up my divs for 10 minutes....oh well, if that's it then I'm a very happy bunny.
This is great extension and addition to my website. I'm glad I added it. The JA support was awesome also, they answered and helped me with all the questions I needed.

Great Extension

Great extension,



It’s a great extension and very easy to use and customize. It worked exactly as I wanted it to work!



A slight bug that occurred in the keyword search field was solved from JoomlArt support team in less than 24hrs.



I would recommend this extension to everyone that wants to create a search for K2 and specifically filtering by tags.
