Category filter as single select in layered navigation

[Kiran]

Hi,

I'm using Aheadworks_LayeredNavigation and I need the category filter as a single select, All other filters have option filter_mode to set single_select, but category filter does not have this option and is in display none in the backend.

Please suggest anything we can do from the backend or anything programmatically. Please help.

Thanks,
Kiran.

Hi @Kiran ,

Can you please try resetting below setting on the category filter. Hope this works for you.

Edit Category Filter >  Category list style  (Default value is multiselect)

set single path value there and check.

And if you want to remove the category filter from the layered navigation use  

Use in Layered Navigation -> NO setting

Flush Magento Cache After the changes.

Thanks!

Hi @Nishu Jindal 

I have tried that category_list_style values to single_path, but when I click on the category options then it is redirecting to the selected category page instead of filtering the category products.

Hi @Kiran ,

Did you check with ahead works support team for this change?  Because it seems like in Aheadworks Layered Navigation from admin settings there is no option for setting category filter as single select.

You can ask for the customization from support.

Thanks!

Hi @Nishu Jindal 

We cannot ask for customizations, I have to do this programmatically if any help.

Hi @Kiran ,

Are you using some other filter in which you need multiselect.?

If not? Then you can disable multiple select from system configurations as well.

Before customization, try to confirm with aheadworls that they dont have single select feature for categories for surity.

Thanks!

Hi @Nishu Jindal 

Yes, we are using two more filters but all need to be a single select.
