I’m working with creating a new field template for a product category. In this template I’m adding new fields, mostly of type textOption. A few of them need to be filters, how to I make it work?

I’ve added this code to ProductsFieldDefinitionSetup.cs:

and also defined the field in backoffice and added it to a product field template. However, on the product listing/categpry page I can’t see it as a new filter option. What have I missed?

Best regards

You need to add it as a filter on the website. Below are instructions for Litium 7.

First, add it under _Settings_ \> _Accelerator_ \> _Product filtering_ .

Then go to _Settings_ \> _Websites_ \> _Websites_, edit your website and add the field under **Filters**.

The filter will be shown after that (assuming there are products using the field in the listing).

Thanks for your quick reply, and yes I’m using Litium 7.

I have followed your steps, but I can’t see the new filter on the website. I even removed Price and News filters from both Settings \> Accelerator \> Product filtering and Settings \> Websites \> Websites to see if anything would change and they both disappear.

What could I possibly have been missing?

UPDATE:  
I added the all the fields in backoffice that I had defined in the code and now its working!
