Second update for Hierarchical Category Filter module for Joomla! 2.5. Added couple new features that often asked ;)
New in this version:
- added categories ordering in dropdown list
- added possibility use AJAX for load subitems
- added caching
- small optimization :)
Remarks about caching:
If you want use caching, to all worked correctly, you need to enable caching in general settings Joomla! and disable it in the settings of this module.

Не знаєте в чому може бути проблема?
За здалегіть вдячний!
все виглядає ніби добре … можливо проблема із стилями?
Great module! We want to use it for dealer selection, but I have one issue with this module:
For example categories:
– Europe
— Austria
— Belgium
On each subcategorie there is one article assigned to. When the user select the categorie Europe the articles of Austria and Belgium doesn’t show up (because the articles can only assigned to one categorie).
How can I fix this?
make menu item “Europe” and select there options, something like “Show subcategories” … or something like that
Thanks! Im worked for me!
Is there anything possible with SEF urls? No-follow or dissalow the urls in robot.txt for google?

Hello.
I have a question.
How is it possible to add a seperate css style to a filter menu.
Example: This is a filter menu:like:
http://www.quality-tuning.co.uk/ (see Quick Search (Cars)) …..
I can use the css: option:nth-child(1), option:nth-child(3) { background: #000;}
Than every 1st and 3rd item in every menu has a background.
I don’t want every filter menu that background.
The next menu while filtering i want it like for example the select_item_1595 the background:orange
How must the css be?

Can the Hierarchical Category Filter be embedded in a form in RSForms Pro to populate a dropdown field in a form created with RSForms for users to pick an item from that list as the selected item?
