Free/commercial divisions?

Post by Bigjohn » Tue Feb 06, 2007 4:24 pm

I'd really REALLY like to see (especially for the huge categories like Galleries) the ability to filter out the commercial vs. shareware/freeware stuff.

Anyone else had this suggestion?

You can do this yourself using the advanced search function.

Sort of.  You cant choose to search just one category/sub category, nor can you select multiple radio buttons within a search-parameter.

Would be better if the category could be displayed with a filter.

Hi Bigjohn,

Thanks for your suggestion. As always all incoming suggestions will be evaluated for future possible use. No promises attached.

This particular one will probably get low priority when we consider the percentage of commercial vs. free.
Think its about 10% - 90%, so just in a few categories there will be an actual need for this filtering.

It would be especially useful in large (huge!) categories like Gallery.  Or you could 'manually' subdivide them into free/paid categories?  But because you can't focus the advanced search on a single category, it's really worthless for this task...

Thanks for your consideration!  GO JOOMLA!
