The add-on allows to filter and search showcase item based on Custom fields.
Showcase add-on is developed by XenAddons. You need a valid license for it to use Showcase Filter.
Here is the filter with AJAX reloading of the list in action:
The controls to filter the showcase items are added in Filters popup in the showcase item list:
Search Showcase page is also enhanced to show filter controls when the category being searched currently has custom fields associated with it:
Each field can be configured separately to be shown in the filter list and/or in the search form:
Choice fields can be configured to be shown in the forms using Check boxes and Multiple-choice drop down (allow searching/filtering by multiple values) or Drop down selection/Radio buttons (allow searching/filtering only by single value).
Date fields and numeric fields are shown as interval inputs (from... to...) where both fields are optional, so it is possible to search any values higher/lower than the defined values or in some particular interval.
Color fields are also supported and color similarity algorithm is implemented. All items with visually similar colors are found and listed. The index of color similarity is configurable and can be set from product's options page:
Text fields are searched and indexed just like showcase item text itself. Full-text search is executed with fuzzy matching, meaning the phrase searched does not have to be in exactly the same order as in the query.
showcase item list shows all active filters. Clicking each filter will remove the field and re-run the search with the remaining filters:
The product allows moving the filters from the default location in a popup to the sidebar or above item list. The setting can be configured globally or for each category.
Xenforo Enhanced Search and Elastic Search support
The add-on has special support for Enhanced Search add-on with Elasticsearch back-end. Custom field information is indexed as separate content type in Elasticsearch. A high-performance algorithm is implemented to filter millions of records and show only showcase items matching filter criteria. Custom fields are searched only once, and the result is cached for subsequent pages. Even though the product performs completely fine without Enhanced Search add-on, it is highly recommended to use this add-on and Elasticsearch on large databases.
Sortable custom field options
Our add-on at Sort Field Options for XenForo 2.x allows admins to sort custom field options when they create/edit the field in Admin Panel. The order in admin panel affects the order in which the options are shown to the users on add/edit showcase item form as well as in the filters.
