Dynamic Filter [Support Thread]

[SPH]

Yes, I pm'ed the developer once on this plugin and he responded.

Although your site is attractive, I found it hard to know where I was when subcats are open. I've usually found the BetterCats plugin that Picaflor uses on her templates, and the little down-arrow, to be ineffective as a locator, especially when there are alot of subcats. And I typically don't rely on breadcrumbs.

So instead of being helpful as a locator, I find it often makes the categories/subcats column look too busy. And although attractive, I think there is a danger of your blue and gold looking too busy or hard to orient...don't know.

We also use Picaflor templates and on my main site here I went so far as to change link color when selected:

I guess that was the main thing. But posting on the Reviewer's Corner is something even I should do.

Thanks. I'll look into changing the color of the category when selected.

Howdy!

I installed Dynamic Filter and it seems to be working except for the filter sidebox headings. For example, instead of "By ", the DYNAMIC_FILTER_TEXT_PREFIX displays DYNAMIC_FILTER_TEXT_PREFIX. All of the headings do this. Here's the source of that part of the page:

!--// bof: dynamicfilter //-->
<div class="leftBoxContainer" id="dynamicfilter" style="width: 150px">
<h3 class="leftBoxHeading" id="dynamicfilterHeading">BOX_HEADING_FILTER</h3>
<div id="dynamicfilterContent" class="sideBoxContent"><form name="product_filter_form" action="" method="get"><input type="hidden" name="cPath" value="65" /><hr width="90%" size="0" /><div><div class="dFilter"><p class="dFilterHeading">DYNAMIC_FILTER_TEXT_PREFIXDYNAMIC_FILTER_TEXT_PRICEDYNAMIC_FILTER_TEXT_SUFFIX</p><ul><li class="dFilterLink"><a class="enabled" rel="nofollow" href="http://192.168.1.117/menstore/jewelry/Silver_Jewelry?DYNAMIC_FILTER_PREFIXDYNAMIC_FILTER_PRICE_GROUP[]=51.75--62" >$52 and over</a></li></ul></div></div></ul></div></div><div id="dFilterClearAll"></div></form></div></div>
<!--// eof: dynamicfilter //-->

Can someone help me fix it? Thanks!

You look to have forgotten a language file when installing the mod.

Melanie,

Thank you very much. Led me right to it. I put that file in the wrong directory. So, how you done git so smart? Eh? LOL

I have a bit of a problem that i could really use some help with....

Ok, somebody else was working on my sites admin and somehow managed to copy every attribute to every product, but only for the attributes that were dropdowns, the radio button ones were fine. He wasn't sure what he pressed that made that happen. I have resolved it now though after tediously deleting and then re-adding all the attributes we need.

The problem however lies now with the Dynamic Filter addon. It works fine with the radio button attributes that were left untouched by the previous error, but it will not work with any other attribute. I have done trial and error of moving products to different categories, renaming attributes etc....

I have narrowed the problem down, and i believe it to be that when i now add a new attribute to a product, it assigns that attribute with an id of around 32000. Even though i got rid of all the unwanted attributes, the id hasn't reset to a lower number.

I'm struggling to figure out how to rectify this problem. Is there any way of resetting all the attribute numbers so they start from 1 again? Even if i delete all the attributes and start again, the ids do not restart from 1 again. Maybe there is a way from phpmyadmin?

I have the Dynamic Filter working fine on another site, so im pretty sure this is the problem.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

My site is www.drgreens.co.uk it is down for maintenance at the minute as i am redesigning it, but if anybody can help i can turn it back on.

Thanks in advance

That does sound like a database field size issue, and there should be a simple phpMyAdmin statement you can run to reset the id. Ajeh could probably give the best answer that doesn't leave any holes open or orphan data in your db.

in mysql, you can not order by a different field other than the group by field. as the group by already sort by it's filed.
but i don't know how to solve the problem.

Hello,

I tried this add-on in a 1.5.1 test-site. Like 'masterrusty' I also noticed the difference between the 1.5.0 and 1.5.1 core files.
I tried to merge the files but I don't know enough about php to get the job done. That's for sure!

Did anybody get this to work in 1.5.1.?

Thanx!
