Hello.
We continue to publish articles, which are devoted to the OpenCart ecommerce platform.
In the last one “How to add new brands in OpenCart. How to add brands to carousel module” we talked about brands and carousel module. Today we want to share with you some information concerning implementation of the filters.

Ok, let’s start.
Opencart Filter module has appeared from version 1.5.5.1. So, keep in mind, that if you need this module, it would be right to update your site.

What is the reason of using filters in general?

The most important thing of this is usability. Web sites can have hundreds of products with the different range of prices, sizes, colors etc. If a visitor enters your site and sees such variety of products, he/she can be boring of sorting page, scrolling it down and, as a result, be inclined to leave your web resource.

On the other hand, if the user sees filters, he/she can only set some parameters of search by filter (for example, price and size) and find what he/she needs in a quick manner. In this case he/she doesn’t need to scroll all products and see price and size in each of them.

When you install the default OpenCart template for the first time, you can’t see Filters, because you have to create them by yourself.

Well, let we tell you how to do it.

Firstly, you need to install Module Filter.
Installation procedure is the same as for other modules. Go in admin: Modules -> Extensions -> Filter -> Install. In our example, we will add Filter in the left column on category page.
So, choose: Layout: Category, Position: Left.

Ok, the Module is installed, but you can’t see it because it is empty. There are not any filters on your site yet.

Hello dear readers.
Today we begin to publish a series of articles devoted to installation and optimization of a website, which is created on the base of the finished template “Computer Repair Joomla 3.1”

Let’s start with the installation

The instructions, which are given below, describe the installation of the Joomla and the website template itself.

Ok. We should find the “Readme” document in the zip that includes the template’s files.

Open the text and read the instructions that are referring to installation and editing.
We should, according to the first item, upload the archive with the Joomla 3.1 from the official website www.joomla.org

Upload the archive by click on the shown link.
After that we should upload the archive to our server and unzip it.

Let’s illustrate this with an example.

We create a new folder “Computer_repairJoomla3.1” for our future website. It is actual for our case, since we will upload the Joomla3.1 files and the template’s files on the test server.

Now we upload the Joomla_3.1.5-Stable-Full_Package zip archive to our folder and unpack it with the help of the File Manager.

Now we should install Joomla.
To do this, go to the browser’s url address of our future site. In our case it is http://dev3.tonytemplates.com/www/Computer_repair_Joomla3.1/. We will be redirected to the Joomla installation web page.

We should leave all the default settings except for one. On step “Database configuration” set value “jos_” for field “Table Prefix”.
Now we have the default Joomla theme installed.

After that we will install the “Computer Repair” website template.
For this we need the contents of the folder “Template Source”, which is located in the zip archive of the template. Upload it to the server with the choice of “overwrite” option.

On the next step we have to make the database import.
In our case, for this operation we go at the address http://dev3.tonytemplates.com/phpmyadmin
Create the database with the website’s name. In our case –  Computer_repair_Joomla3.1

Create a new user in the tab “Privilege”.

After switching to the tab “Import”, select a file “sql”- “dump.sql”, which is situated in the site template’s archive, and execute the import.

After the procedure is finished, the message of the database successful import will appear.

Ok. This is all the procedures for installing the template. Now you can admire the finished site.

If you already have Joomla installed, before the installation of the “Computer Repair” template’s files, you should upload the content of the folder “Template Source” to your server. You have also to make import of the file “dump.sql”

Ok, that’s all for today. In the following articles we will talk about how to perform customization of the product.

See you in the next posts.
