 Custom Filters is our filtering/searching suite for VirtueMart 2 and Joomla 2.5.x and is like the ebay and amazon filtering applications.

Filters
Custom Fields
- Generation of filters from the existing custom fields using the native custom field types (Not plugins)
- Total control over each filter. Set of display type, ordering and more
- Conditional display can be achieved.
This is usefull for shops with different kind of products and a variety of custom fields, displaying only the relevant custom filters after selecting a category or a manufacturer.
Categories

- Category tree configuration
(open/close icon, parent categories as links and more)

Price Range
It can be done using text inputs (From - To) , a Slider or both. It takes into account the shop's global tax, the price overrides and the prices in multiple currencies.
