BlueCoder filters for Joomla articles and contacts by custom fields, categories, tags, author and date. They refine Smart Search results and build collection pages with clean URLs and meta tags.
JFilters is a BlueCoder extension for filtering Joomla articles and contacts. Filters are built from custom fields, categories, tags and core fields such as author and creation date. It suits catalogues made of regular Joomla articles, like film libraries, property listings or directories, where visitors need to search by parameters without a separate catalogue component.
Features
- Each filter can be shown as checkboxes, plain links, radio buttons, a select list, a calendar, a range slider, or single and multi-select buttons.
- Smart Search results narrowed further by filters that match what was found.
- Collection pages (menu items) defined by field values, tags, categories, authors and dates in any combination.
- Several sort orders for results, including sorting by custom field values.
- YOOtheme Pro integration for designing the results page.
- Search engine friendly URLs for filtered pages, a page title and meta tags derived from the selected filters, and canonical tags.
- A light frontend: CSS plus vanilla JavaScript under 6 kB minified and gzipped.
Compatibility
