Demo

Features

• Remember status filter by hash on URL

Technique

• Override Block, Helper

Limitations

• Cannot override template set by Abstract Block app/design/frontend/rwd/default/template/catalog/layer/filter.phtml app/design/frontend/rwd/default/template/catalog/product/price.phtml

So I have to override these files of rwd theme

• Need a method to get list attributes to filter app/design/frontend/rwd/default/template/bc/filter2/catalog/product/list.phtml

<li data-color="<?php echo $color ?>" data-id="<?php echo $_product->getId() ?>" data-price="<?php echo $_product->getPrice() ?>" data-material="<?php echo $_product->getMaterial() ?>"...

• Filter doesn't work with pagination, ordering

Note

We have to config to disable the configurable swatches product: System > Configuration > Catalog (left nav) > Configurable Swatches > General Settings > Enabled = No
