BigCommerce Stencil - Maximum Faceted Search Items? - bigcommerce

We are seeing an issue with the Cornerstone Light theme where the maximum number of facets available is 30 on a category page. Once the user clicks "Show More", the code only lists 30 facets. The client has over 100, so we need to have all of these available. I know Blueprint has the added functionality of the additional facets popup.
Are the additional facets not available currently in Stencil?
Does Stencil limit the facets to 30 options per type?
I would like to be 100% sure on this before I have to develop my own additional functionality to support more facets.
Thanks

Stencil does limit to 30 options per type, but Blueprint allows for 500. We will expand faceted search/stencil to allow for more options in the future.
Cornerstone 1.3 will offer support for this.

SAP Spartacus PLP not showing all facets

I have a concern about PLP. In OOTB when you get the facet after selecting a filter. it doesn't return the other facets but only shows the specific facets.
example:
I go to this plp: https://spartacus-demo.eastus.cloudapp.azure.com/electronics-spa/en/USD/Open-Catalogue/Cameras/DigitalCameras/Digital-Compacts/c/576?query=:relevance:allCategories:576
it shows 4 facets namely the stores, price, megapixels, and brand
Now I selected a filter in the facets. As you can see, the facets only shows the megapixels. I think this is the current OOTB behavior.
However, I need to get all the facets that are connected to the product. the API response shows the 3 facets. I need to get that and show it again in the facet section.
Please let me know if this is feasible in Spartacus 4.3 version

Product Filter in BigCommerce using core PHP

I have standard plan of Big Commerce store.
I have to integrate product filter dropdowns in my store. So which is the best way to achieve this functionality.
Kindly suggest
Thanks in advance
You have a few options:
1.) Upgrade to a Pro or Enterprise plan, and activate product filtering.
2.) Install a product filtering app and configure.
3.) Make a purely JavaScript solution where you hit different product list pages and append results to the current page.
4.) Make a standalone PHP app (or other BC API supported language) and use JS to hit and display the filtered products on your page.
Options 1 & 2 require no code. Options 3 & 4 could take lots of hours to implement. It depends what your budget is, and the requirements of your project.

Brand filtering on category pages

In Bigcommerce, is it possible to add brand filtering to category pages?
The current options appear to be that you can select from "all brands" by visiting the brands page, or you could use the search engine to narrow your results but you're forced to type a keyword or space. I want to offer a way to narrow the products by brand for the specific category the user is viewing.
I've spoken to tech support and they've informed me that this is NOT an option through the control panel and would have to be done through the API.
In my attempt to do this with the API however, it doesn't appear there is anyway to dynamically identify which category a user viewing. Outside of hard-coding a template for each individual category, how can this be accomplished?
I was informed by API support that this is NOT possible. Their recommendation was to submit the idea to the support team for future implementation, and that I might be able to accomplish it through a combination of javascript and screen scraping.

What is the usage of User Stories Query?

I'm trying to build a custom application to draw an 8 user stories card per page. this is intended to be used for printing all user stories (and save paper :)).
for some reason i failed and i can't seem to find documentation in Rally SDK regarding the usage?
Especially what are all the options for types field in the query?
i saw some examples in SO and in the web of types: ['HierarchicalRequirement'].. what is the meaning of this type, and what other options can i use?
Have you seen the Print Story Cards app in the app catalog?
http://developer.help.rallydev.com/print-story-cards-app
It prints 4 per page- it shouldn't be difficult to modify that to do 8.
HierarchicalRequirement is the name for a user story. You can see all the available types and their fields in the WSAPI docs here:

What ecommerce platforms support decimal product quantities?

I am working on a client site and the majority of what they sell is fabric sold by the yard, with a minimum of .25 yards per purchase.
The client INSISTS that he wants the end user to enter a decimal into the quantity field to order the amount of fabric she wants and so far I haven't been able to talk him out of this requirement.
They currently use Miva because it supports this particular requirement (through a module). I'd prefer not to work with Miva if I can help it, so I'm turning to you guys!
So far, I've found two additional options for handling decimal quantities:
Magento
Zen Cart
Anyone know of any other options? I'm open to anything right now (hosted, open source, whatever), just want to see all the options for this one specific weird requirement.
Thanks!
You could go for TYPO3 Multishop. Also open source and with a tiny adjustment it supports decimals as quantity input. You can see it in action on the following web page:
