error: The parameters dictionary contains a null entry for parameter 'categoryId' of non-nullable type 'System.Int32' for method 'System.Web.Mvc.ActionResult GetFilters(

Hi,

After some issues using AjaxFilters on a customized Nopcommerce version, I narrowed down my issue.

I downloaded a new 2.3 Nopcommerce, generated the database, installed nSpikes.Core SevenSpikes.Nop.AjaxFilters and added;

if(IsSectionDefined("nopAjaxFilters"))
{
@RenderSection("nopAjaxFilters")
}

to Views\Shared\_ColumnsThree.cshtml

and

@section nopAjaxFilters
{
         @Html.Action("GetFilters","NopAjaxFilters")
}

to CategoryTemplate.ProductsInGridOrLines.cshtml and ManufacturerTemplate.ProductsInGridOrLines.cshtml


Result:
- Ajaxfilters working at categories.
- Ajafilters giving error (complete error below).

Any ideas how to fix this?

Kind regards, thanks in advanced!

Hi,

Thank you for using our products!

You are trying to integrate the filters on the Manufacturer page, but unfortunately they work only for categories.
The Filters do have a manufacturer Filter Group, if this could be a work around for your project.
We would bear this in mind however and if we find out that it is a popular demand we can look into the filters to implement them to work for the manufacturer view.

Thanks

thank you very much !!

big oops...
