This update is good news for the owners of online shops and for those who actively use the new social commenting system!

E-shop Updates

Further development of the Recommended Products block: the possibility to specify the number of columns has been added: - the 'Customers also buy' list. M - number of columns for items. If M = 0, the setting 'Number of columns for item displaying' is used. If the parameter is not specified, M is considered to be 0.
The 'Select' option has been added to product options.
The option of product filtering by a price range (from XX to YY) has been added. The option can be enabled in Control Panel in the module settings: select the Price parameter on 'List of fields participating in the filtering menu'.
The bug with exporting products into XML has been fixed (invalid characters error).

Interesting solution - a slider for the price filter :)

Connect jQuery UI on the 'Goods catalog' page:

Code

Add the slider block code where you want it to be displayed, for example:

Code

Create the slider code:

Code

$("#price-range-2")
.slider({
     range: true,
     min: shopFilterMinPrice,
     max: shopFilterMaxPrice,
     values: [shopFilterMinPrice, shopFilterMaxPrice],
     step: 1,
     slide: function(event, ui){
         $("#price_min").val(ui.values[0]);
         $("#price_max").val(ui.values[1]);
     },
     change: function( event, ui ){
         // Remove the commenting for the line below
         // if you need the filter to work instantly
         //return priceFilter('price', ui.values.join('|'))
     }
});

You can find the available parameters at http://api.jqueryui.com/slider/
