How to add Dropship Vendor attribute to layered navigation?
The 'udropship_vendor' attribute has a custom frontend_input type 'udropship_vendor', to allow having thousands of vendors without crashing.
Magento allows adding to layered navigation only for specific frontend_input types, which does not include the custom ones.
To allow adding udropship_vendor attribute to layered navigation filtering, and you don't need to have ability to setup thousands of vendors, run this SQL statement (Magento CE >1.4.1.0):
UPDATE eav_attribute SET frontend_input='select' WHERE attribute_code='udropship_vendor';Then edit the udropship_vendor attribute and add it to layered navigation.
