Why price slider min and max values are not changed, when another filter is applied?
Consider the following example:
When price filter is shown in Layered Navigation as a slider, max value is set by largest price of all products in the category. In the below example price slider min value is
$0
while max value is set to$500
accordingly to the most expensive product price:If customer set desired price range to
$55 to $110
, he will see only 3 products:When customer apply another filter - select
Bracelets
fromJEWELRY TYPE
, price slider min and max values are not changed to$0
and$55
, like it logically should be for selected products, but stays the same$0
and$500
.
So the answer is: it is by design. If price range would be volatile, it should be $0 to $55
. But currently applied range is $55 to $110
. So currently applied range would appear out of the whole range. Current solution is found to be to less distracting to the user.
