How to use Filter Web Part

I cant figure out how to use the filter web part as I have not found any helpful documentation on it. The one area in particular that I cant figure out is the "filter control path". It states that I am supposed to enter in the physical path to .ascx file in the file system with my custom filter. Can anyone tell me how or what I need to do to add a filter?

I am wanting to have a drop down box where users can select a particular value to filter documents.

Thanks in advance!
Jason

RE:How to use Filter Web Part

Hello,

You will need to develop custom filter control and then use Filter Web Part to display the control on page in Portal Engine. You can inspire by sample ProductFilter.ascx control that you can find in ~\CMSModules\Ecommerce\Controls\Filters sub-folder of your project folder. You will also need to specify path of your control into "filter control path" property.

Best Regards,

Martin Dobsicek
