```smarty
{loop name="choice_filter" type="choice_filter" category_id=$category_id}
    {if $TYPE == "feature" and $VISIBLE}
        {loop type="feature" name="feature-$ID" id=$ID}
            {* your code *}
        {/loop}
    {elseif $TYPE == "attribute" and $VISIBLE}
        {loop type="attribute" name="attribute-$ID" id=$ID}
            {* your code *}
        {/loop}
    {elseif $TYPE == "brand" and $VISIBLE}
        {* your code *}
    {elseif $TYPE == "price" and $VISIBLE}
        {* your code *}
    {/if}
{/loop}
```

for performance, it is best to use a cache block
http://doc.thelia.net/en/documentation/templates/smarty/cache.html

```smarty
{cache key="choice-filter" ttl=600 category_id==$category_id}
    {loop name="choice_filter" type="choice_filter" category_id=$category_id}
        {if $TYPE == "feature" and $VISIBLE}
            {loop type="feature" name="feature-$ID" id=$ID}
                {* your code *}
            {/loop}
        {elseif $TYPE == "attribute" and $VISIBLE}
            {loop type="attribute" name="attribute-$ID" id=$ID}
                {* your code *}
            {/loop}
        {elseif $TYPE == "brand" and $VISIBLE}
            {* your code *}
        {elseif $TYPE == "price" and $VISIBLE}
            {* your code *}
        {/if}
    {/loop}
{/cache}
```
