Filterable product catalogue: filter column on the left, results on the right, live counts and shareable filtered links.

== Description ==

Product Viewer publishes a filterable product catalogue without writing code and
without using the WordPress editor.

You build the filters from the admin screens: a filter is one group in the left
column (Range, for example), and its entries are the checkboxes inside that
group (Cabinets, Counters). You can also create numeric filters split into
ranges, for capacity, power or weight.

Products are added from a dedicated screen: photo, description and the
checkboxes of every filter you created. No blocks, no WordPress categories, no
settings that have nothing to do with the catalogue.

The whole interface is in English and follows the language of the site: an
Italian translation ships with the plugin, and any other language can be added
with the usual translation files.

* Filter column with a live count next to every entry
* Impossible combinations stay visible but struck through
* Filters in the page address: links that can be shared and indexed
* Product comparison
* CSV import that updates instead of duplicating
* Colours and sizes set from the admin screens
* Product detail page that can be turned on or off

== Installation ==

1. Upload the zip from Plugins > Add new > Upload plugin, then activate.
2. Go to Product Viewer > Filter categories and create your filters.
3. Add products from New product, or import a CSV file.
4. Put the shortcode [product_viewer] in the catalogue page.

For a quick look: Settings > Tools > Load sample filters, then Create sample
products.

== Frequently Asked Questions ==

= Do I have to press Rebuild index? =

No. The index keeps itself up to date. The button is only for after a migration
or an import written straight into the database.

= Where are the products stored? =

Inside WordPress, as content hidden from the menu. It keeps the catalogue
compatible with the media library, backups, exports and translation plugins.

= What does the free version leave out? =

It shows 25 products and the first 3 filters, with no comparison, no grouping
and no CSV import, and styling limited to the accent colour and the corner
radius. Nothing is lost: anything over the limit stays saved and comes back on
its own once a licence is activated.
