How do you selectively target a filter at a specific taxon?

[Greg Murray]

I have created various filters based on new properties I have set up.  I only want to display certain filters under a specific taxon.  What is the cleanest spree way to do this?  For example I would like the material filter only to be shown when the taxon is clothing.  Below is part of the code I have copied over into my directory (models/spree/taxon.rb).

    # indicate which filters should be used for a taxon

    # this method should be customized to your own site

 

   def applicable_filters

      fs = []

      # fs << ProductFilters.taxons_below(self)

      ## unless it's a root taxon? left open for demo purposes

      fs << ProductFilters.price_filter if ProductFilters.respond_to?(:price_filter)

      fs << ProductFilters.color_filter if ProductFilters.respond_to?(:color_filter)

      fs << ProductFilters.material_filter if ProductFilters.respond_to?(:material_filter)

      fs << ProductFilters.pattern_filter if ProductFilters.respond_to?(:pattern_filter)

      fs << ProductFilters.brand_filter if ProductFilters.respond_to?(:brand_filter)

    end

Thank you in advance for your help!

Couldn't you just throw an if statement in there to check the Taxon's name? Given that the method is available on the instance of Taxon objects, I would imagine it would be that simple.

Unless I'm missing something?

Also: you should be using a decorator to alter this method rather than copying it over into models/spree/taxon.rb. Those are covered in the Logic Customization guide here: http://guides.spreecommerce.com/logic_customization.html
