-==== Compatibility ====
-Please take a look at the following information to use the filter configuration:
-\\
-=== XML Filters ===
-If you use one of the these shopsystems
-  * OXID
-  * Shopware
-  * Magento
-you should consider the following things:
-The filter-data will get sent to the plugin of the shopsystem via XML-Response. The plugin uses the available filter-functions from the shopsystem to convert the information to HTML. It may happen, that some filter-types, which were set in the FINDOLOGIC customer account won't get fully supported by the plugin. Due to that FINDOLOGIC suggests to upgrade the plugin to the latest version. The order of the filters can be changed in the templatemanager, if the {generated_filters}-plugin is not used. If the {generated_filters}-plugin is used, you can change the filter configuration in the FINDOLOGIC Customeraccount -> tab Settings -> Filter configuration.
-\\
-=== HTML filter-templates ===
-If you want to use the filter configuration you need to have the {generated_filters}-plugin activated in the templatemanager. The plugin gets active, if the following line of code is added to your template file (examples for template files: plenty2.tpl, html2a.tpl, html3.tpl). Please check in your current template, if the following line of code is in your template:
-<code smarty>
-{generated_filters}
-</code>
-To avoid, that filters are not shown twice, you have to remove hardcoded filters from the template.
