Problem: I have a custom field that holds a numeric value for length. I would like to create a front-end search filter for that length field with several options for a range of lengths, like "12 - 24", "24 - 35", "35 - 50", "50+".
Solution: There is no simple stepped-range filter like this in Types and Views. The simplest way to set this up in Toolset is to create a separate custom radio field with the options shown in your filter. You must manage the value of this field independently of the length field, so there will be some duplication of data, but the View filter will work correctly on the front-end of the site.
Problem: I would like to apply different Content Templates to products in different categories.
Solution: You can use the wpv_filter_force_template API to programmatically set the template applied to each archive page. This will override any selections for archives made in wp-admin.
