Dynamic Filter [Support Thread]

[panservolvo]

I found out that it happens to all products with more than 4 attributes.
Is it a limit to how many attributes the dynamic filter can handle to loop through?

There is no limit, on the number of attributes, as far as I know, but I only use this module on read only attributes.

The attribute in question is a read only attribute. Everything is working fine exept filtering on attributes when there are more than 4 on the product

After more digging, I've found out that its not 4 attributes thats my upper limit, its more randomly than that.
Adding/removing attribute values from a product change if the filter for that particular filter works or not.
An example. A product has 6 attributes with in total 15 attribute values. The filter on attribute "stock" does not work.
I remove one attribute value from one of the other attributes, for instance a color.
Now the filter on attribute "stock" works just fine.
It doesnt matter what attribute value I remove, so its not just one attribute or value which causes this... hmmmmmmm.....

suggestions?

another "fun feature", if I delete the language english, only keeping norwegian, it works as it should.

A yes, I remeber I added some code for that for a customer. Let me find it, and I will post it here.

Thank you again. I took a look at the file for the dynamic filter, but i figured I probably would use several hours getting this working.
Instead I made a database trigger on the products table. Every time the table is updated the trigger updates my newly created stock attribute to in stock/out of stock according to products_quantity. Not too pretty, but effective :)

Im having exaclty the same problems, very hard to replicate the problem but it appears to only not filter for products with a lot of attributes, i havent tried to delete the english language. but i will give that a try to see if it fixes stuff

Really need a fix for this plugin

I have tried removing the english language, but that still doesnt fix the problems with filtering.

As the person above me i have the error:

[05-Jun-2014 12:15:58 Europe/Amsterdam] PHP Warning:  trim() expects parameter 1 to be string, array given in /var/www/vhosts/domain/httpdocs/shop/includes/functions/functions_general.php on line 63

Here you can see how buggy it is:
http://www.etcoevorden.nl/shop/index...ex&cPath=23_42

This shows a lot of products, but when clicking on the "Discovery 1 1990-1998" Filter on the left side

It doesnt show me any results (in the bottom it shows -> Artikel 1 tot 10 (van 18 artikelen) (so it should have at least 1 result)

If you check one of the products in this category -> http://www.etcoevorden.nl/shop/index...&products_id=8

It does show Attribute -> "Discovery 1 1990-1998" in the bottom so it should be able to find it ?

Im currently running Zencart 1.5.1 and i have tried to add the fixes posted by dr blyte

[wrickspam]

This is on line 63 in functions_general:

  function zen_parse_input_field_data($data, $parse) {
    return strtr(trim($data), $parse);
  }

My PHP version is 5.3.23

Zencart 1.5.1

I found the language code I have added to the filter to show multiple languages.

in includes\templates\YOUR_TEMPLATE\sideboxes\tpl_dynamic_filter.php find

        $categories = $db->Execute("SELECT categories_id, categories_name, IF(categories_id IN (" . implode(',', $filteredCategories) . "), 'Y', 'N') as flag" .
        " FROM " . TABLE_CATEGORIES_DESCRIPTION .
        " WHERE categories_id IN (" . implode(',', $unfilteredCategories) . ")" .
        " ORDER BY categories_name");

and replace with

        $categories = $db->Execute("SELECT categories_id, categories_name, IF(categories_id IN (" . implode(',', $filteredCategories) . "), 'Y', 'N') as flag" .
                              " FROM " . TABLE_CATEGORIES_DESCRIPTION .
                              " WHERE categories_id IN (" . implode(',', $unfilteredCategories) . ")" .
                              " AND language_id=" . (int)$_SESSION['languages_id'] . 
                              " ORDER BY categories_name");
