Dynamic Filter [Support Thread]

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.
