1. category selection : fixed single category, include ,exclude
... combined with user permissions,

2. category filters: all, category specific, specific filters, specific filters common with category specific,

3. added template and language files to it

4. # items per page selector and orderby selectors

Good job.

I am still testing this module, so far it looks great.

I have one suggestion:
Module Backoffice missing additional field at this point:

Target Category-->Display Category List

you should add this option:

"NO (use all categories)"

If they get the opportunity, users could easily limit their search to the wrong category. That's why I would like to include all categories but without showing them to visitors, and at the moment it is not possible.

I already tried to select all categories and choose existing option "NO (use single or selected category)" BUT without selection, and all I got is missing module from front page. That's why I think you should add this option.

Thanks for good work.

Category view is capable of showing items from all categories.

Is that what you suggest ?

Not really.

At the moment, you can choose to include or to exclude categories in module settings, but you still see that choice in front page filtering module.

Look at the screenshot, I would like to include all categories in filtering by default, but NOT to show them on front page (I wan't to remove "Category" field completely).

Good choice would be to add one more option in module settings, something like "Show this filter field on front page (yes/no)" and that should work for all fields (designer, created by, ordering... etc).

That's the way to to help users to find products with specific parameters, but not to bother them with details and tutorials how to do that.

Other than that, I think that this module is VERY good. Thanks again.

Ok, but if the category field is not displayed, what is the target of the filter form? a specific category or all? or is it current category?
