Filtering content beyond the category in which you are

This issue might be a bit difficult to understand. I will try with an example:

Let's say you have a category called houses and as subcategories you have various districts like Volga, Caucasus, Ural ...

One of the additional fields defines the number of bedrooms.

In a list of all items, you set a filter to 3 bedrooms and you will now see a list of all the houses that have 3 bedrooms.

You click on one article for one house in Volga that you found in this list.

If you look at the breadcrumb line, you will see that you are now in the category houses / subcategory Volga / article name.
If you now set an additional filter (lets say central heating), the results that you will get are all from the category Volga even though you never selected Volga as a filter. You just happen to be in the subcategory of Volga.

Do you have any idea how the list can include all subcategories unless a specific subcategory was selected?

Hello and thank you for your fast reply!

I am not sure if I understand you, so I will try to explain my problem again.

I have a category called houses.
I have a sub category called Volga.
I have a sub category called Caucasus.
I have an additional field called "number of rooms"
I have an additional field callled "central heating" (checkbox yes/no)

I have a page called "all houses". I created this in Menu - Category Blog - chosen category = houses. When you are on this page, the url is root/index.php/all-houses and it shows you all the houses including those in Volga and those in Caucasus.

Lets say I click on one house in Volga. My url is now root/index.php/all-houses/10-Volga/article-alias

Now I use your module to filter for houses that have 3 bedrooms.

The results I will get, will only be from Volga. The houses in Caucasus are not listed.

I hope you can follow my explanation.

ok, my understanding is that the filter only works in the category in which you are.

That means that I have to put all articles in the same category.

Are there any plans to make the module/urls seo friendly?

To explain my problem:

I wanted to have urls like this:
root/houses/10-Volga
and root/houses/11-Caucasus

Instead of putting the houses in different sub-categories, I can make an additional field for the region, but when I have all articles in one category (houses), I have urls like root/houses/?jlcontentfieldsfilter[19]=10

My problem would be solved if the url would be seo friendly and look like this:

root/houses/?region=Volga
or
root/houses/?heating=yes
and so on.

I can not pay the full 800 Euro, but I would pay a small amount for an extended version of this tool. If you offer it for 10 Euro, you only need 80 downloads to cover the cost.
