Hello,

My website has 1000+ manufacturers and 500+ categories (with sub-categories) and 4,000+ listings.

I would to add a side menu to the category list page so that users can filter the results by manufacturer and by sub-category. Next to each filter option I would like each filter option to display the listing count in brackets. For example, "Manufacturer X (203)".

Is this something that I can do out of the box with cmsBuilder or do I need to have this custom coded?

I would be very grateful for anyone could share their experiences doing something similar and advise on how to make sure the code performs fast and efficiently.

Regards,

Greg

Hi Damon,

Thanks so much for referring me to the other forum link.

I am using the 'num' field for the Category value and it's only a single option for category not multi-select.

It seems that my current code is just taking too long to figure out how many records are in each category and so the page is taking ages to load and I also receive PHP memory errors.

I have sent a message to your consulting email address as I think it's best you guys just set this code up for me as you'll know the best way to handle it. I hope to hear from you soon!

Thanks again,

Greg
