Hi there,

on the site: http://www.pretty-little-shop.de/
I’m using the essential grid to display a gallery of product images.
To assign an image to a category I’m using the filter tags.

I would like to change the start filter but the “Start with Filter:” option is not working.
As I understand the option it offers to start with a custom category.
In my case it would be “Aktuell Neu” but if I insert the filter not a single image is shown on the website.

Am I getting this feature wrong?

Furthermore the editing of the essential grid in the backend takes very long.
Is this due to the many images used? (I want to add hundreds more).

Thank you

Hi there,

Thanks for writing in! So you want to show the grids for the category “Aktuell Neu” instead of “Alle Produkte”? “Start with Filter:” option option should work in that case. You can share your login credentials in a private reply so that we can check.

And if you have lot of images then it might be slow on backend. Try to use optimized images.

Cheers!

Exactly, “Aktuell Neu” should be the first and default filter.
Whatever filter I try for “Start with Filter:” it’s not working.

Furthermore I noticed that the filter logic is “OR” although I selected “AND”.

Hi there,

Been trying it without any success, but OR logic is working as expected. For the meantime, I added this code to manually trigger it

jQuery( window ).load( function() {
	setTimeout(function(){
	
      jQuery('data-fid="aktuellneu"').trigger('click');
      
	}, 500); //change 500 to your needs
});

Please check.

Thanks!

Hi Rad,

thanks for the workaround!
This way the category “Aktuell Neu” is loading by default but somehow the category “Alle Produkte” (All products) now only contains the products from the category “Aktuell Neu”.

Thank you

Hi There,

It seems working when I check. See this:http://screencast-o-matic.com/watch/cDXnnNj7n5
Can you clarify if we missed something here?

[ArtOfSpring]

Hi Lely,

can you please check again?
I cleared the cache and everything but it’s still not correct.

If no category is selected 25 pages of the essential grid are showing up.
If “Alle Produkte” (all products) is selected only 4 pages of products show up.

Thank you

Hi There,

Thank you for the clarification.
I can see your issue. I did duplicate the same settings on my test site and I found that if a category is not selected it is always defaulting to all. All is not optional. I am using the same Skin as yours. See this:http://screencast-o-matic.com/watch/cDXjhejNG8
Did you customize the Georgebush skin you were using?

[ArtOfSpring]

Hi Lely,

Rad added code to achieve that “Aktuell Neu” is selected by default (see a few posts above).

But somehow it affected the default filter “Alle Produkte” (all products).
If selcted only a few but not all products are showing up.

Hi There,

Thank you for the clarification. Please try to remove the code. And then on Start with Filter field update the value from Aktuell Neu to aktuellneu. It should be the slug of the filter.

Hope this helps.

[ArtOfSpring]

Hi Lely,

thanks for your advice. I updated the ‘Start with Filter’ field.
Where do I find the code snippet?

Thank you

[ArtOfSpring]

Something confusing happens now.
The category “AKTUELL NEU” is only selected by default while the website is loading.
After a second no filter is applied anymore.

[Lely]

Hi There,

On your essential grid API Javascript tab, remove the code. See attached screenshot. Please try again after removing that code.

[ArtOfSpring]

Hi Lely,

I followed the instructions and it still is not working.
“AKTUELL NEU” is selected for just one second while the page is still loading.
After that one second no filter is selected anymore.
