EasyStore Design Questions

Hi,

I'm trying to design the product page for my Easystore website, and I'm having a few issues that I cannot find how to resolve. Could you please have a look and make suggestions ?

I'm adding details on the URL and login/password for the website as this is not live yet

1/ In the filter element, I added "Categories". It seems to only show first level categories, while I'm using nested categories in Joomla and the ones I need there are second level categories (the ones under webshop). How do I achieve that ?

2/ Some variants, like size, seem to be showing in some random order. How can I reorder them ? E.g. I would like to get XS S M L XL XXL order

3/ I copied the SP PageBuilder design from the Allura kickstart. It works pretty fine, apart from the + sign to show details of an article, which doesn't show at the bottom right of the image (with some design around) like it does on Allura. I don't want to switch to Allura but keep my Dentro template. How can I achieve the same effect on those buttons (I guess some css?).

4/ In the search box, the placeholder is placed to close to the icon, how do I give it a margin ? Also how do I change this placeholder from "search" to "rechercher" as my website is in french ?

5/ How do I reduce the line height of the different filter items as in some cases, the list is too long and it adds a vertical scroll. Btw, is there any way to remove this vertical scroll and simply show all options ?

6/ The price range selection doesn't seem to work, whatever maximum I put, it just comes back to 700. The minimum does work, apart from the fact if I put it back to 0, it's not taken into account, looks like I need to add a number bigger than 0

7/ When filtering on variants, is there any way to select which variants I want to show ? Seems to be an all or nothing at the moment.

Thanks a lot

Additional question: How do I get the cart to appear like on the allura demo website ? I mean I want an icon with the red circle showing how many items are in it + I want to open a side pannel when clicking on the icon, not open a new page.

There doesn't seem to be anything configured for the cart within SP PageBuilder on the allura quickstart, so I'm wondering where this was all designed ?

Thanks

OK, found out this one seems to be a module... I have added the module to my website, and this seems to work, but the issue is that in Allura, it's added to the menu-right position, which doesn't seem to exist in the dentro template ? Is there any way to add a position to the template, or any other way to get this module to appear in my menu ?

3/ and 4/ are solved by migrating the EasyStore page to the Allura template...

But Allura template has another issue, the small arrow down icon on menu items that have submenus are not showing... any idea why ? The same icons are fine on Dentro template.

Hi Stephane,

Thanks for reaching out to us.

Please, check the answer below.

1. Categories filter Please check this screenshot: https://prnt.sc/wnanxaCpLZA5

You need to enable Show Hierarchy to display child categories in the filter.

2. Variant order (XS, S, M, L, XL, XXL) Please check: https://prnt.sc/ySg828GF4vEi

I can see your variant values are currently not ordered. You'll need to manage the order when creating the variant values so they appear in the desired sequence.

3. Product details (+) button styling Please check: https://prnt.sc/5EDHDXMk-z6x

I added the similar effect by adding custom CSS in: Add to Cart Addon → Style → Custom CSS and also in the page-level custom CSS.

4. Search placeholder Please check now. The search placeholder styling and spacing have been adjusted.

5. Filter item height / scrolling Please check: https://imgur.com/a/lQqvWxp

On my side, the page appears as expected. Could you please provide a screenshot showing the issue? That will help us investigate further.

6. Price range filter The maximum price range is generated based on the highest product price available in your catalog. On your site, I can see that the range from 0 to 700 is working correctly.

7. Showing specific variants only At the moment, there is no option to control which variant groups are displayed in the filter. The filter will display all available variant filters.

Regarding the cart module, you are correct—it is provided through a module rather than SP Page Builder itself. Here I add this module: https://prnt.sc/rRrR6C27KBfP

Thanks

Hello,

1/ Categories: Yes I can enable hierarchy to show nested categories, but this is not what I want. Some categories have no relations at atll with my webshop, they are used for my joomla articles. What I want is to be able to show only the categories that are nested under the "webshop" category.

2/ Variant Order :This content is migrated from a J2Store. They were ordered in J2Store (and J2Store does allow to reorder anyway) but looks like they were created in some random order from the migration. Is there any way to reorder them ? I guess if I deleted them and recreate them, this will also delete all products using those as variants, so I would need to recreate all my product variants ?

3/ and 4/ Perfect thanks

5/ Filter item height / scrolling: Yes I managed to solve the scrolling in the meantime by overwriting the max-height in css. For the line height, it appears ok, I just would like to have less space in between lines as I have a lot of options so that the list looks less big.

6/ Price range filter : The default values are ok. Did you try to change it to show articles like between 0 and 40€ ? If you do that you will see the max just comes back to 700 automatically and nothing happens.

7/ Showing specific variants only : OK. Could you please add that as a feature request, as it would be really nice if we could show which variants we want in the filter and which ones we don't want.

Thanks a lot.

btw: Do you prefer to have threads like this grouping multiple questions, or should I better create one thread per question ?

Hi Stephane,

Please check the answers below:

  1. The Categories filter will only display categories created under EasyStore → Categories. It will not display categories from Content → Articles → Categories.

  2. Currently, variant sorting is based on the creation date (ascending or descending), not by the variant name. Therefore, if you need a specific order (e.g., XS, S, M, L, XL, XXL), you may need to recreate the variant values in the desired order.

  3. Regarding issue #6, I was able to reproduce the problem. If you set the minimum value to 1 instead of 0, it works correctly. I have forwarded this issue to our development team for further investigation and resolution.

  4. Regarding selecting specific variants to display in the filter, this is currently not supported. I will submit it as a feature request for consideration in a future release.

I think grouping multiple questions in a single topic is perfectly fine.

Thanks.

Thanks for your answer, I didn't realize categories from easystore were different from Joomla categories... that indeed solves my issue.

So for the variant, I guess if I remove a variant it will also remove all variants of my products so I will have to recreate those ?

Currently there is no solutions for your variants ordering.

Thanks
