 +
 +  - The Findologic filters will be placed in the filter container, if the ''​cat_url''​ is correct.
 +  - Depending on the type of navigation booked, products will either be provided by the shop or by Findologic on the first click (instant product listing).
 +  - When selecting a filter, the products will be provided by Findologic via JavaScript and will be placed in the products container.

 +==== Inserting content after Findologic rendering ====
 +
 +In case of frequent updates to a product’s or category’s specific information (e.g. availability,​ price, promotion banners etc.), it is possible to load this data dynamically via scripts on the shop’s side, after Findologic results are fully rendered.
 +
 +If needed, Findologic will send an event (such as „findologicFinish“) after results rendering. In further consequence any code may be executed by setting up a respective event-listener.
 +
 +Recommended implementation:​
 +
 +<code php>
 +
 +document.addEventListener("​findologicFinish",​ afterFindo);​
 +function afterFindo() {
 +    // „Shop’s script“
 +}
  
 +</​code>​
