Hello,
I've just installed the latest Perch 3 version. I want a data-select for this page: https://studiowolf.be/test/christie/shop-christies-interieur-perch.php. When customer uploads a new product, he/she can choose a product categorie (antiques, lighting, tables, ...). When there is a visitor, he can select a categorie in the top bar to only display the correct items. https://studiowolf.be/test/christie/categories.php
Portfolio filter on shop-christies-interieur-perch.php
<li class="activeFilter"><a href="#" data-filter="*">Show all products</a></li>
<li><a href="#" data-filter=".pf-antiques">Antiques</a></li>
<li><a href="#" data-filter=".pf-lighting">Lighting</a></li>
<li><a href="#" data-filter=".pf-storage">Storage</a></li>
<li><a href="#" data-filter=".pf-tables">Tables</a></li>
<li><a href="#" data-filter=".pf-mirrors">Mirrors</a></li>
<li><a href="#" data-filter=".pf-accessories-objects">Accessories and Objects</a></li>

What am I doing wrong? Is a less complex configuration possible instead of working with an extra categories.php page?
Kind Regards, Frederic
I don't really follow. What problem are you seeing?
Hello Frederic,
If I understand correctly, I think you want:
For (1), assuming all product categories are in a set called 'Products' you can add this to your template:
For (2), have a look at the Category Filtering in the documentation.
Hope this helps!
I don't understand 100%. So I have to place the perch:categories in my shop-toevoegen.html file like this? How/where can I define the products set?
To add a set:
You may also find the Category Template documentation helpful.
I don't see the solution. Maybey I have to make it more clear.
This is my original filter on my html page, now php:
When selecting f.e. "Antiques", the data-filter sorts the articles with ".pf-antiques", in the class of the article:
What is the best way to do this? I suppose replace the pf-antiques in <article class="col-md-3 portfolio-item pf-antiques"> with some perch content?
Ok so you just want to to add a class to the
<article>with the Category's slug prefixed bypf-?This still requires you to have all the categories in a set called Products. You can call it whatever you want, just change the
setvalue in your code.OK this works! Thx a lot!
One other question: how can I limit to choose only 1 option/category?
Now I can choose more categories, but then the datafilter doesn't work. Solution is to make a second perch:categories, then it works, but I can still choose multiple categories within 1 perch-categories.
You can use
max="1"You can add a
maxattribute to your<perch:categories>to specify the maximum number of categories that can be selected:
