Great layered navigation
The bubble layer pro has been our favourite layered nav extension for years in Magento 1. Never had any trouble installing or other url / SEO issues we've seen with many others.







The AJAX Layer Pro extension will help you to improve your layered navigation easily.
You will be able to completely configure and customize the display of your filters on your Magento frontend.
Moreover, the extension will automatically generate keywords corresponding to the values of your filters in order to improve SEO on your website.
The AJAX Layer Pro extension can be installed and ready to configure in one go. For this go to:
System › Configuration › Wyomind › AJAX Layer Pro
To begin, you can configure the general parameters of the AJAX Layer Pro extension. Several options are available:

The Ajax Layer Pro extension allows you to enable the price slider.

Note that the default Magento display is as below:


Then, when the slider and the inputs are enabled, it should look like the below screen.

In the Category Tree Settings tab, you'll be able to configure the display of the category tree according to your needs.

Below is the display you can get with the above configuration.

In the Attributes Settings tab, you'll be able to define for which attribute you want to use a dropdown or display the attributes labels.

Below, you can see that the Category and Color attributes are managed as labels, whereas the Shoe Size attribute is managed as a dropdown.

Note that your customers can expand and collapse filters.

AJAX Layer Pro allows you to dispatch your filters in 3 different places. You can customize the display of your filters via 3 options:
In the case where a filter is not present in any of the above fields, then it will be displayed in the left column by default.

Here is the display you can get with the above configuration.

This extension works with Magento Community Edition and also Magento Enterprise Edition. To know if Ajax Layer Pro is compatible with your Magento version, please check the Compatibility tab.
A license is valid for an unlimited period of time on one single Magento installation.
If you use more than one Magento installation, you will have to buy a separate license for each one.
If you run several domains on the same Magento installation, you will need only one license for all of them.
Although your license doesn’t have a limited period of validity, your support period does. By purchasing an extension, you’ll be granted a 6-month support period for free. Passed this period, you will have to renew your Support plan (see FAQ: How to extend my support period?).You can pre-register your live domain to your license in advance.
Thanks to this option, you'll be able to get the extension ready to use on your domain before it goes live.
To pre-register your production domain:
next to the extension you want your domain to pre-register on.

One license is valid for an unlimited period of time on one Magento installation only.
It is possible, however, to extend or transfer your license in 2 cases:
To be able to use Ajax Layer Pro on both your production and testing environments, follow the instructions below:
Now that you can use Ajax Layer Pro on your production environment, repeat the same steps as above on your testing environments.
The only difference this time: a notification will appear in your Magento admin.
You will be given a choice between:

Click on Add this domain to my license.
A transfer request will then be sent to our team within an hour.
Once the request is taken care of, you will receive a confirmation email.
If your transfer request is accepted, you can use Ajax Layer Pro on both environments at the same time.
The order in which you activate your license on your domains does not matter.In order to download Ajax Layer Pro, log into your Wyomind account:
icon next to Ajax Layer Pro.
A new window opens.

Your download can start.
When purchasing an extension from wyomind.com, you benefit from a lifetime upgrade. You can at any time download the latest version of the extension directly from your account.

To uninstall Ajax Layer Pro, go on its zip folder and open it.
You will find a shell file (such as: yourextension-uninstall.sh) that you must execute on both your server and Magento root directory.
Once the uninstallation is over, refresh your cache and enable the compiler back again (if you use it).
Before installing Ajax Layer Pro, you’ll have to:
Now you can install Ajax Layer Pro:

Once Ajax Layer Pro is installed, you have to activate the license:

configuration › advanced › advancedIf the message doesn't appear then you must check that:
Wyomind's License Manager has not been removed from your installation.
Wyomind's License Manager is enabled in: app/etc/modules/Wyomind_Licensemanager.xml

To activate the license of an extension that includes other modules, you’ll have to repeat the steps described above for each extension, using the corresponding activation keys (each module has its own activation key).
If you're getting a white page using the extension, you should enable the error reporting in order to display the error. You can do that from index.php.

Simple, lightweight - it's great.
Recommended here https://www.sonassi.com/blog/quick-magento-performance-wins
& used in this theme https://polarcore.io/ which is based on Google's Material Design.
I had initially purchased an alternative module to test, but quite quickly realised this was the best choice for us.

After years of trying other Layered Nav extensions and being frustrated at the amount of configuration required, it is a delight to find an extension that can just be installed and within a minute or two it is up and running.
There is not a lot of features to this extension, but in my opinion that is what makes it so great. Just install, configure the few options there are and you're done.
I also found it extremely helpful that each filter works in isolation so you are free to place each filter where you want it - you don't have to have all the filters in one block down the side of the page!
Lastly, as a developer myself, I salute Johann for showing his code for all to see. Far too many extensions are developed via outsourcing and are badly coded. It's clear from this extension that Johann is a very good, experienced coder and takes pride in his work. This extension is a compliment to that.
