Magento Extension

Developers

== WHAT DOES IT DO? ==
This is an admin module only. You can setup an attribute with "Textfield for Filter" as type. On the product page, this looks like a textfield. Data entered can be used in Layered Navigation, just like a Dropdown or Multiselect.

I used this module to add geographic regions for hundreds of wine bottles. We wanted the regions to be filterable, but we could not use a Dropdown attribute. See screenshot for better understanding.

== INSTALLATION ==
- Get key from Magento Connect
- Install via Connect Manager
- Refresh cache
- Re-login to admin

== CONFIGURATION ==
No config settings.

== USAGE ==
Add a new product attribute and choose "Textfield for Filter" instead of Dropdown or Multiselect. Add the attribute to a set, and go to the product edit page. You will see a regular textfield, but the data is stored as a Dropdown and can be used for layered navigation.

Don't forget to rebuil search index (cache) after adding a new attribute!

== CUSTOMIZATION ==
No options available.
