Filter by category

I have the free version.

I'm trying to create a filter by category as in the example(creature, food, sport, tools). Is it possible in the free version?

Not in a separate table.

But if you do it like in the example database, it works.
Look HERE also!

I have already read this. But, how can I do that?

I have to do a catalog view for each category? Or I can create this catalog view dinamically with a combo box?

I want to put various checkbox (one for each category), and if yo mark 1, the table shows only the products of this category. If you mark two checkbox, the table must show all the products of both categories, and so on....

Sorry for my English (:

For this You need the pro version (see groupselect function)

But you can of course also create a katalog view for every category.

The way you implement categories can be different and depends very much on your needs (amount of entries/categories)

Otherwise you can do nearly anything by hand. Even in the free version you can limit the search to a special field.
You can fore example enter a select-form element with your categories into your search template.
Then you just need to insert a hidden field with the name "searchfield" and and the name of your categories field.

Of course you can also pass these values also with your URL if you do a linklist.
www.example.com/database.html?search=XXX&searchfield=YYY
Example:
joodb.feenders.de/db-example.html?search=creature&searchfield=category
