Yes, of course - didn't mention it as I thought wouldn't be of much interest

In tpl_dynamic_filter.php

change

case 'Checkbox':
                        $filters .= '<li class="dFilterLink">' . zen_draw_checkbox_field($group . '[]', $attributes->fields['products_options_values_name'], (isset($_GET[$group]) && in_array($attributes->fields['products_options_values_name'],$_GET[$group]) ? true : false), ($linkClass == 'disabled' ? 'disabled="disabled"' : '') . ($onClick != '' && FILTER_STYLE == 'Checkbox - Single' ? ' onclick="' . $onClick . '"' : '')) . htmlspecialchars(html_entity_decode($attributes->fields['products_options_values_name'], ENT_QUOTES)) .'&nbsp;<span class="no_of_attributes">(' . htmlspecialchars(html_entity_decode($attributes->fields['quantity'], ENT_QUOTES)). ')</span>' . '</li>'; 

to

case 'Checkbox':
                        $filters .= '<li class="dFilterLink">' . zen_draw_checkbox_field($group . '[]', $attributes->fields['products_options_values_name'], (isset($_GET[$group]) && in_array($attributes->fields['products_options_values_name'],$_GET[$group]) ? true : false), ($linkClass == 'disabled' ? 'disabled="disabled"' : '') . ($onClick != '' && FILTER_STYLE == 'Checkbox - Single' ? ' onclick="' . $onClick . '"' : '')) . html_entity_decode($attributes->fields['products_options_values_name'], ENT_QUOTES) .'&nbsp;<span class="no_of_attributes">(' . html_entity_decode($attributes->fields['quantity'], ENT_QUOTES). ')</span>' . '</li>'; 

I simply removed the two htmlspecialchars references. The same edit will be needed in the 'Link' and 'Dropdown' cases.

This allows html formatting of Option Values.

HOWEVER, this also raises a previous problem I had completely forgotten about, namely that the 'special' characters in html code such as < = " > / cause filtering errors i.e. 'There are no products to list in this category.', if I remove these characters then filtering with said Option Vale works as it should.

There was a post/edit made a while back regarding escaping special characters but I was never able to get it to work for these characters.

Thanks for that. I noticed this problem on a site I was working on a few weeks back, but I had other more important things to take care of at the time and never got back into looking for a solution.

I guess there is more interest than you expected eh? :-)

Thanks again

Hi Design75

Could you include the info about "How to update from old version" in the document?

I have a problem with the price filter shown as the image below.

zen: v1.5.3; DF: got from here
I had thought it would be a issue from error merging. After copying the DF files to zen cart directly, there is nothing change, even if I set the Enable Price filter to No.
other thing: I have not set tax.
Is anybody can help?
Thanks

Hello,

I have the filter working on my site but have a problem.

It works great with existing attributes, but if I add an attribute and add it into 'include options' it shows up but returns no results when clicked on.

Any ideas? Thanks.

Is the filter can be enable on home page?

No, sorry, but at this time it only works if you are viewing a category. I am am sure it can be done, but it will need some coding. If you like you can try , because I am lacking the time at the moment.
