If you look in filter.phtml
, you will see that it is using the blockMage_Catalog_Block_Layer_Filter_xxx
where xxx is the attribute type. Which in turn leads you to the model: Mage_Catalog_Model_Layer_Filter_Price
.
Inside app/code/core/Mage/Catalog/Model/Layer/Filter/Price.php
, you will see the methodgetPriceRange()
which calculates the price breaks.
You can override that model by copying it intoapp/code/local/Mage/Catalog/Model/Layer/Filter
and adjusting that method so that it calculates the ranges per your requirements.
