    Hi,

    Thank you so much for the great support so far. Is there any way to insert Filter options into archives? If the answer is no, is it possible with a developer? Or would it be too complex?

    Thank you!

    You can use “sorting” on the archive pages, and filter with the search.
    Thanks

    Hi,

    Thanks for getting back.

    I get the part about sorting is only available for archives, and search filters are only for search results.

    Let’s say a user is looking for places to eat, is in the mood for Asian, is on a budget and needs Halal food. He might probably land on my archive page for Dining/Asian. Because he is on a budget, he’d sort by price so he can browse from the cheapest eatery onwards. However, he’ll also need a sidebar with filters for him to click Halal, and maybe some other filters like Credit card promotion and Kid Friendly.

    So what I’d like to do is to insert filters into the archives. Is that possible currently and if not, will it be very complex even if I were to engage a developer to do it?

    So

    No, because filters are for search results.
    You will need to work with a developer to find an approach that suits you.

    Thanks Alex.Would it be very complex to do it though? Say on a scale of 1 – a few hours of work and 5 – Probably cost thousands of dollars.

    Sorry I don’t mean to bug the team but I reckon you know the GD program in and out and would be the best person to give the overview opinion.

    You really need to be talking with a GD Expert about customizations.
