Integrations

mFilter integrates with popular MODX components.

Supported components

Component	Description
MiniShop3	E‑commerce
mSearch	Full-text search

How integration works

mFilter works via the element parameter — any snippet that returns resources:

[[!mFilter?
    &element=`msProducts`    // MiniShop3
    &element=`mSearch`       // mSearch
    &element=`pdoResources`  // pdoTools
    &element=`getTickets`    // Tickets
]]

Element/Paginator mode

mFilter passes filtered IDs to the external element:

1. element gets all IDs (returnIds=1)
2. mFilter filters IDs
3. element renders filtered IDs
4. paginator handles pagination

Flow

┌─────────────┐    IDs    ┌─────────────┐
│   element   │ ────────► │   mFilter   │
│ (msProducts)│           │  (filters)  │
└─────────────┘           └──────┬──────┘
                                 │
                          filtered IDs
                                 │
                                 ▼
                         ┌─────────────┐
                         │  paginator  │
                         │  (pdoPage)  │
                         └──────┬──────┘
                                │
                             HTML
                                │
                                ▼
                         ┌─────────────┐
                         │   Browser   │
                         └─────────────┘
