[DONE v1.3.8] Filter By Category/Manufacturer Vanished

**guitarslinger** · 13 Mar 2007, 03:10 AM

Hi Guys

I've been searching for an answer to this and have not been able to find anything conclusive...

I have justed installed 1.3.7 (fresh) onto my hosting and have my site looking identical to how it used to - great!

The only thing i am having difficulty with at the moment is that when i click on a category sub heading - it might bring back a list of 100 items, and there is no longer a filter drop down to break this list down by manufacturer. There used to be this facility in the previous version.

Now - what's making my head ache is that when i go into admin and look under configuration>product listing, the option

Display Category/Manufacturer Filter (0=off; 1=on)

IS selected to 1.

Tried turning off/on to no avail. The ONLY way i can get a work around is by ALSO selecting the Alpha sorter at the same time. This is not by any means ideal for me and don't want to overload the customer.

Has anyone had this problem and been able to get around it? ANY help would be much appreciated.

Thanks

Now what dummy went and coded that so foolishly?!

err ... umm ... well ... kinda looks like I did ...

Let me move this over to the Bug Fix forum and see what I can do with it ... how terribly embarrassing ...

Try changing in the file:
/includes/templates/template_default/templates/tpl_index_product_list.php

on line 41, change from:

PHP Code:


  if ($check_for_alpha->RecordCount() > 0 && PRODUCT_LIST_ALPHA_SORTER == 'true') {

and change the line to read:

PHP Code:


  if ($do_filter_list || ($check_for_alpha->RecordCount() > 0 && PRODUCT_LIST_ALPHA_SORTER == 'true')) {

Code:

  
$check_for_alpha = $db->Execute($check_for_alpha);

if ($do_filter_list || ($check_for_alpha->RecordCount() > 0 && PRODUCT_LIST_ALPHA_SORTER == 'true')) {  

  $form = zen_draw_form('filter', zen_href_link(FILENAME_DEFAULT), 'get') . '<label class="inputLabel">' .TEXT_SHOW . '</label>';
?>

Hi Mate

I copied the line in as you said so my tpl_product_list.php on line 41 looks like the above.

I then copied the file into my own template override folder and hey presto!

Take a look - www.richtonemusic.co.uk

Works a treat.

Thanks for your efforts on this.
