Dynamic Filter [Support Thread]

[Louis]

Thanks for the reply, after an extremely long day yesterday looking through all the code and undoing everything that I had worked on over the last 3 days trying to find the problem. I got onto my web host this morning and it turns out they had done a security update and turned on a new mod_security setting (341245) that was blocking this feature. They have now turned it off for me and everything is working perfectly once again. Hopefully this may help someone in the future if they experience a similar issue. The code it's self is still as bullet proof as ever. Thanks.

Thank you for pointing this out. I received a "403 page not found" error when selecting price as part of the filter. I searched high and low over the last week or so to see if I could find a solution but to no avail. After seeing this post over the weekend, I contacted my host this morning and they made some changes on their side and voila, the price filter is working again.

Power to the people that support community based projects!

I just want to say THANK YOU ALL for the reply. I will integrate and test the filter under 1.5.4.

I am looking for Beta testers of the latest version of this mod.
If you are interested in seriously testing this mod please send me a PM.

There has been some major code shuffling. Moving Queries to the modules files and html stuff to to tpl files.

• New in this release are some additional choices: Filter by price can be switched on and off in the admin
• The number of products left behind the attributes can be switched on and of
• There have been added some language defines to make the module multilingual

I've been messaging Design75 about these issues, I just thought I'd post here so I didn't bother him as much, as well as maybe help others that may be facing the same issues. I'm still on zencart 1.5.1 and have the filter working on index pages within each category. But when on the products_all page, the filter doesn't work at all. Also on the all products page, is another filter added, for categories. It makes complete sense why this wouldn't show up on the other pages, because you're already inside a category and filtering them wouldn't do anything. I don't know if they should work the same, so I started comparing files within each folder.

Inside of the latest Dynamic Filter download is
includes > modules > pages > header_php
includes > modules > pages > jscript_dynamic_filter

But there are no files for the Index pages folder.
Within the current site, there are
includes > modules > pages > index > header_php
includes > modules > pages > index > main_template_vars

So I guess my main question is, should the index folder have a jscript file in it and that's why it's not working? Or could that be included in the main template php file?


This is the current "category" filter I'm trying to turn off. If it was actual category names, it might not be as bad. So there are a few options as far as fixes.

Craig,

You don't bother me it is part of the job.
In the latest test version, all the jscript file were removed and replaced by on script in the templates folder. Please compare your installed version against the latest version. You know where to find it.

For all the other readers. We are very close on releasing the latest and greatest version of this module. There are as you can read above some small bugs to be removed, but that's all.

Thanks Erik,
I just compared the script on my site, to the one in the folder from the Dynamic download, and they're identical. So, that makes me even more confused. ha
