How do I implement the ShopBy feature in the left nav for search and category pages? I see there is code for ShopBy and have set up a product template with fields to use it, but I can't find the file for using it in the left nav. I added the Category Menu to the left nav of the category page.
Thanks

If I understand it correctly. There is a widget named "Product Finder". You need to drag and drop the widget at the desired location on the category page.

I had added the product finder. I just got it to work on a new dev site with AC test products and a template I added, so I'll keep trying on my other site.

I found out the issue with showing shopby in the left nav on my dev site. After I had changed the type of input on the inputfield to a dropdown box so that the shopby check box was enabled, I forgot to check that box. I am now seeing shopby choices in the left nav.
On my new dev site with AC products and no customizations, I see shopby choices in the left nav, showing the product count OK, but when I click one of the choices, it doesn't filter the products on the category page. It does filter the products on the search page. The categorycontroller, categorygridpage has IList<ShopByChoice> choices = new List<ShopByChoice>(); but that list is never populated.
If possible, please post a fix.
Thanks

Thanks for the elaboration. To fix, please try the following steps: 1- Open \Website\Controllers\CategoryController.cs 2- Search for Code:public ActionResult CategoryGridPage(CategoryGridPageParams parameters, int page = 1, int pageSize = 0, string sortExpression = "IsFeatured DESC, OrderBy ASC, Name ASC")
3- Replace with Code:public ActionResult CategoryGridPage(CategoryGridPageParams parameters, int page = 1, int pageSize = 0, string shopBy = "", string sortExpression = "IsFeatured DESC, OrderBy ASC, Name ASC")
4- Replace Code:IList<ShopByChoice> choices = new List<ShopByChoice>();
with Code:IList<ShopByChoice> choices = PageHelper.GetShopByChoices(shopBy);
5- Compile the code and use updated dll. Hope this will fix the issue. Please make sure to test this solution locally before applying it on the live site. Please mention if you need more help!
