Hi people!
I've been struggling with how to implement some neat filters in my Wordpress archive pages. At first I thought Isotope and JPlist were some great solutions, well they are, but only for a limited amount of records and they do not support pagination. I need a solution for a potential of thousands of records and would like realtime filtering. something like they have here in the left sidebar: http://codecanyon.net/category/wordpress
How Can I achieve this? I don't know if it's me, but I can't seem to find any articles on it, no tutorials or snippets or whatever. Some tips would be amazing, thanks!

Thanks for your input, however, I would like to manually create them in my custom theme. I am familiar with widgets and WP. Did you take a look at the filters in the link I gave in my first post? that should give you a pretty good idea of what Im after.
Can you tell give me some info on how to achieve that?
Thanks!

All you need to do is add a widget to the sidebar of the page. Wordpress comes with a "categories" widget but I'm not sure if it comes with a "tags" widget. You may acheive what you after with these widgets if not you can search for more widgets in the wordpress respository. You can learn more about widget in this threehouse coarse http://teamtreehouse.com/library/how-to-make-a-website-with-wordpress.
I hope this helps
John
