Option to show product count per attribute?

    I really like the way this plugin works. I’m using the widget with Type set to “checkbox” to enhance filtering capabilities on my website. I just have one thing I’d want to change to make it perfect for my purpose – in the sidebar widget, I want to show in parenthesis the number of products each attribute type is assigned to (similar to how WooCommerce’s built-in Layered Nav widget works). Is there a way to do this (built-in functionality, or maybe adding a filter or an action to get this to display)?

    Hi jwayk016,

    As for now the only thing you can do is to extend the plugin yourself. Of course you can wait while I’ll do it but this will take time.

    Hi Dima – thanks for your response. I figured I would have to somehow extend the plugin for this (even though part of me had hoped that I was simply missing an easy setting in the plugin configuration). Any suggestions on where to start looking in the code for this? Are there any hooks in the plugin that I could leverage to build this in?

    Thanks again for your great plugin!

    Hi jwayk016,

    There are a lot of hooks through the plugin but I don’t think that this thing can be done with their help. You need to add functionality to the plugin which means you need to edit code. This will touch about 20-40% of the plugin code area. It is better to start with includes/widget.php file and find there widget function. There you need to count products amount. Not too hard but next will be listener function where you need to do the same while you need to filter results and this will be harder + this will be slowing down the script that is why I didn’t made it yet =) I like it to be fast =)

    Thank you for your detailed response! I greatly appreciate all of your help.

    I was having a similar problem and after lot of googling I found some answers. They told that since tags and categories lies in same table the WP DB Quries can solve this without using much of cpu.
