Filtering Your Results

Added by Lance Cleveland almost 2 years ago

Question from Michael P

This wordpress plugin is too limited and doesn't provide enough options. I'm getting results for products vaguely related to what I input. There needs to be advanced options and filters.

Our Response

There are multiple ways to filter the results. See the “Matching Keywords This AND That” on this knowledgebase page:
http://redmine.cybersprocket.com/projects/cjwp/wiki/Using_MoneyPress_-_Commission_Junction_Edition

The results you are getting back are defined solely by the Commission Junction search engine. We don’t have control over what they send back. What we CAN control are things like:

  • Only show items from affiliates you joined
  • Only show items from a specific affiliate
  • Only show items that match THIS keyword but NOT THAT

These examples are on the URL above.

Also – if you have suggestions for the plugin please let us know as we continually improve the product.

I use parentheses to do in depth filtering. For example if I want only blue or pink flowers:

[cj_show_items keywords="+flowers +(pink blue)" records_per_page="5"] this will do the trick making pink or blue as mandatory.

Now I can go further with [cj_show_items keywords="+flowers +(pink blue) -(tall dwarf)" records_per_page="5"] this will display pink or blue flowers which are not tall nor dwarf.

Another interesting one:

[cj_show_items keywords="+flowers -(+lilies +yellow)" records_per_page="5"] will make it more exclusive and will not show "yellow Lilies" but will show red lilies or yellow pansies

Still looking into more in depth filtering
