Filter Products by AND instead of OR

I'd like to display products that have both TAG1 and TAG2.  It seems like if I select TAG1 and TAG2, I get all products that have TAG1 and all products that have TAG2 .  ( want only products that have BOTH)

Is there a way to change the behavior to "narrow" the list?  It's not a pure hierarchy, so I need to use tags (not categories)

Any suggestions ?

thanks
Tim

Hello Tim,

Currently there is no setting to change the behavior of the FilterProducts widget in this way. I have submitted a feature request in PITS which you can vote for here.

Can you provide any direction (or example!)  in how I might implement it myself ?

thanks much

Hello Tim,

You could create your own TagFilterUrlEvaluator and TagFilterDynamicQueryBuilder classes and modify them to your needs. I have attached the default classes for you to get started.

Then in the DataConfig.config file, modify the highlighted text in this line:

Thanks much!  I'll give it a whirl !

Hi Randy, I'm trying to create my own filter per your instructions and having some trouble....
-----SNIP---- 
namespace Telerik.Sitefinity.Modules.Ecommerce.Catalog.Implementations.ShopByFilter.QueryBuilders

    internal class CustomTagFilterDynamicQueryBuilder : IShopByFilterQueryBuilder
   
ENDSNIP-------
Error 3 'Telerik.Sitefinity.Modules.Ecommerce.Catalog.Interfaces.ShopByFilter.QueryBuilder.IShopByFilterQueryBuilder' is inaccessible due to its protection level 

Does that mean I need the IShopByFilterQueryBuilder class as well?

-Thanks

Hello Tim,

IShopByFilterQueryBuilder is an interface, not a class. You should be able to not use it. I don't see any place where the TagFilterDynamicQueryBuilder class is being instantiated as IShopByFilterQueryBuilder.

So try not implementing the IShopByFilterQueryBuilder interface in your custom class.

I hope that helps.

All the best,

Hi Randy,
is it possible to have default 'OR' behavior for most of Classificaitons except some where I need 'AND'?

For example I have classificaiton "Device type" with values: Phone, Sim card, Internet device...
and classification "Features" with values: Wi-fi, HD Screen, Front camera, HD Video....

I need to filter with 'OR' by Device type
and filter with 'AND' by Features

Is it possible? How can I do it? From your answer it looks like all filters will be replaced?

Thanks,

Hi Alex,

 For a complex solution such as this is may be better to create your own widget(s). The implementation at this point is a little black and white.  You can have one but not both at the same time down to specific tag types or situations.

Hi Alex,

Have you managed to find the solution? I have a similar problem and I would be happy if you share your experience.

Thanks
