A new attempt to copy the Nop Ajax Filters

Andrei, as far as I understand you are not going to remove us from partner list. please confirm it
We have removed our clone of Filters plugin on May 08, 2015. This plugin contains just CSS(html) of the plugin nop-templates. We have developed this plugin because of our client's needs and we didn't have a possibility to buy this plugin with source code.

1). You will find the beginning of nop-templates JS below
nop-templates

/*

*/

var nop7SpikesAjaxFiltersGridClass = "nop7SpikesAjaxFiltersGrid"; $(document).ready(function () { "function" !== typeof String.prototype.trim && (String.prototype.trim = function () { return this.replace(/^\s+|\s+$/g, "") }); var a = new FiltersManager; a.addProductPanelAjaxBusyToPage(); $(".nopAjaxFilters7Spikes .block .title a.toggleControl").on("click", function () { !0 == $(this).hasClass("closed") ? $(this).removeClass("closed") : $(this).addClass("closed"); $(this).parent().siblings(".filtersGroupPanel").slideToggle("slow", function () { $(this).css("overflow", "") }) }); $(".nopAjaxFilters7Spikes .block .title a.clearFilterOptions").each(function () { $(this).click({ filtersManager: a }, a.clearFilterOptions); $(this).hide() }); $(".nopAjaxFilters7Spikes .filtersDropDown a.allFilterDropDownOptions").each(function () { $(this).click({ filtersManager: a }, a.selectAllFilterDropDownOption) }); var b = $(".nopAjaxFilters7Spikes .filtersTitlePanel a.clearFilterOptionsAll"); b.click({ filtersManager: a }, a.clearAllFilterOptions); b.hide(); a.replaceSortAndViewOptionsDropDowns();

Our code:

$(function () {
    var price = {
        categoryId: $("#parentPane").data('category'),
        manufactId: $("#parentPane").data('manufacturer'),
        priceFrom: 0,
        priceTo: 0,
        minPrice: parseFloat($("#priceMin").val()),
        maxPrice: parseFloat($("#priceMax").val()),

        pageSize: getParameterByName($("#products-pagesize :selected").val(), "pagesize"),
        pageIndex: 1,
        orderBy: getParameterByName($("#products-orderby :selected").val(), "orderby"),
        viewMode: "grid",
        manufacturers: "",
        productSpecAttr: "",
        firstFilter: ""
    };
    var element = "<div class=\"product-selectors\"><div class=\"product-viewmode\" style=\"width:200px; padding:0px; margin:0px\"><span>View as</span><select id=\"products-viewmode\" name=\"products-viewmode\"  style=\"width:100px\" onchange=\"setLocation(this.value);\"><option selected=\"selected\" value=\"/asus?viewmode=grid\">Grid</option><option value=\"/asus?viewmode=list\">List</option>" +
      "</select></div><div class=\"product-sorting\" style=\"width:230px; padding:0px; margin:0px\"><span>Sort by</span><select id=\"products-orderby\" name=\"products-orderby\" onchange=\"setLocation(this.value);\"><option selected=\"selected\" value=\"/asus?orderby=0\">Position</option><option value=\"/asus?orderby=5\">Name: A to Z</option><option value=\"/asus?orderby=6\">Name: Z to A</option>" +
      "<option value=\"/asus?orderby=10\">Price: Low to High</option><option value=\"/asus?orderby=11\">Price: High to Low</option><option value=\"/asus?orderby=15\">Created on</option>" +
      "</select></div><div class=\"product-page-size\" style=\"width:250px;margin:0px;padding:0px;\"><span>Display</span><select id=\"products-pagesize\"  style=\"width:60px\" name=\"products-pagesize\" onchange=\"setLocation(this.value);\"><option value=\"/asus?pagesize=4\">4</option><option selected=\"selected\" value=\"/asus?pagesize=8\">8</option><option value=\"/asus?pagesize=12\">12</option>" +
      "</select><span>per page</span></div></div>";

As you can see the code was developed by our developers.

2). Just if someone think that our JS contains fragments of nop-templates files I  compared those file and they are totally different.

3). As for the image below
http://www.nop-templates.com/help/evidence1.jpg

I have tried to find those CSS selectors in their code.
http://clip2net.com/s/3ibnOK3 - I wasn't able to find .priceRangeFilterPanel7Spikes .filtersGroupPanel  
http://c2n.me/3ibopjw - I wasn't able to find .manufacturerFilterPanel7Spikes .filtersGroupPanel ul
I think I will not be able to find other selectors because our JS files have different structere and have been developed by our developers.

4) Admin parts of nopTemplates - http://clip2net.com/s/3ibphbR
Our admin - http://clip2net.com/s/3ibpoDZ
The admin interface is different

Also as far as I know we didn't do Product attributes filters. nop-Templates have declared that they have this feature so the Public interface was different too.

We published our plugin because we had seen other similar plugins.

Also I have seen many other popular clones:

https://www.nopcommerce.com/p/592/nop-mega-menu-nop-templatescom.aspx
and etc.

We wouldn't developed this plugin if we had opportunity to buy this plugin with the source code and we usually recomend to buy theme of Nop-Templates.com and 5-7 our customers have used those themes.
I think it will be better not to argue and try to improve nop ecosystem as friendly environment and work together on creating new products. We also have spent time and money to develop the Filters plugin and we have removed our plugin from our site(because of CSS) and I am asking nop-templates resolution to remove this topic.

I don't know what fancy about these kinds of plugins, yes ajax help your page look fancy but you will pay the price for not being exposed to search engines.
