How to remove Price filter section from layered navigation

Question

Iam trying hard but still not getting to remove SHOP BY and PRICE FILTER SECTIONS from layered navigation please help me in removing those items.

Answer 1

Sorry for Downvote actually this is basic question..!!

for removing Price filter Goto Catalog->manage attributes find price attribute and select no in the option Use In Layered Navigation.

for removing SHOP BY goto app/design/frontend/your_theme/default/template/catalog/navigation and in left.phtml file find this code

<div class="block-title">
        <strong><span><?php echo $this->__('Browse By') ?></span></strong>
    </div>

and then put echo in comments. Hope it works.

create own module and use next snippets

code for your config.xml:

......
    <frontend>
        <events>
            <core_collection_abstract_load_before>
                <observers>
                    <my_module_remove_price>
                        <class>MyModule/observer</class>
                        <method>hidePriceFromLayeredNav</method>
                    </my_module_remove_price>
                </observers>            
            </core_collection_abstract_load_before>
        <events>
.......

Code for your observer:

public function hidePriceFromLayeredNav($event) {
    $collection = $event->getEvent()->getCollection();
    if($collection instanceof Mage_Catalog_Model_Resource_Product_Attribute_Collection){            
        $txt=$collection->getSelect()->__toString();
        if(strpos($txt,'additional_table.is_filterable')){
            $collection->removePriceFilter();
        }           
    }
}

PS: using this logic you can hide prices for some customer groups or using config settings
