Dynamic Filter [Support Thread]

dharrison:

Hi

Going through this, the whole site falls over with the core overrides in functions_general.php

I am doing this on a fresh install and there is no mention of

if ( (SEARCH_ENGINE_FRIENDLY_URLS == 'true') && ($search_engine_safe == true) )
{
// die ('here');
$get_url .= $key . '/' . rawurlencode(stripslashes($value)) . '/';
}
else
{

[17-Jul-2013 09:23:52 UTC] PHP Fatal error:  Cannot redeclare zen_create_random_value() (previously declared in ...........\includes\functions\functions_general.php:626) in ...........\includes\functions\password_funcs.php on line 86

Realistically you have to copy from the bof 1 of 3 section until just before

// Wrapper function for round()

to which zc version are you referring?

As I originally mentioned, this is on a version 1.5.1. I used the updates on github

And now everything would work all except for the box isn't listed in Layout > Boxes Controller

Ok, I will check on that.

Glad to be of help. ;)

The seach box is there. That was an error on my part.

However, it seems to ignore the option id on the one attribute that I have added (age)

Also its not just the issue I have with the filter not showing my attribute option for Age. How can I enable this to work on the home page as well?

Please advise.

1. Ability to turn on/off product price sorter in config

This option has been added to the latest version on github

I got a warning message in the log file as following:

 PHP Warning:  trim() expects parameter 1 to be string, array given in H:\onlinestore\includes\functions\functions_general.php on line 63

I set 5 attributes as 5 filters. On the categories pages, the warning message repeated 5 times. On new products, all products and featured products, there is a extra filler - Categories, the message repeated 6 times.

Is anyone can help?, or suggestion?

can't help without having a lot more information, like ZC version, php version, module version etc

Hi Design75

Thanks for you replay. The zen-cart version is 1.5.1, php version is 5.4.7 and the DF version is 1.2

Hi Design75

I track back to tpl_header_currencies.php:20 and dump the $value, which should be a string, to the screen. There are exactly some non string element here.

That file is not a file standard to ZC, or this mod, it comes with some templates. Like the Pure series

This file is formed by combining the modules\sideboxes\currencies.php and templates\template_default\sideboxes\tpl_currencies.php to display the currencies selection on other place. Now, I had removed those code, turned on the currencies sidebox and got the same warning message.

zen_draw_hidden_field() H:\onlinestore\includes\modules\sideboxes\currencies.php:33

It looks like that, instead of one element of a array, a array was passed on as a parameter some where.

Not that I do not want to help, but I still fail to see what this has to do with Dynamic Filter

HI , I am trying to add lots of filter to my products ( color, size, type , material, etc ) so that customers can filter their desired choices

All filters shows up on the side box filter list AND ALSO in the product info page

I don;t want all these filters to come up on my product info page ( except for color and size attribute)

I have see the flexible attribute plugin also but not able to go forward , also the read only attribute is not working

Experts , could you please advice , how to achieve this
https://www.feerol.com

On v1.51, I have replaced my installed 'product_filter_by_attribute_and_price_range_0-7' with the 'Dynamic_Attribute_filter-Version-1.2' from Design75's github page (thanks very much for this, it's great) and is working on local dev server - so sorry no live site to see.

I need to know whether the following behaviour is normal:

To replace the stock alpha dropdown I have installed both 'product_filter_module_for_zencart_1-1' and 'product_listing_sorter_v2' (not at the same time!) both of which do a similar sort of thing, then

if I filter with the dynamic mod and THEN sort with either of the above mods the filtered products get reset and display all

but, if I FIRST sort the products, say by price high-low and then filter, the sort remains in place on the filtered products.

So basically - sorting after filtering resets the filter

Pretty sure this isn't normal does anyone have an suggestions bearing in mind you can't see the site?

I managed to find a workaround for this

Anyone knows why would this mod throw an error on php 5.3, but does not on php 5.2?
I have tested this and error "trim() expects parameter 1 to be string, array given in functions_general.php on line 63" only shows up on php 5.3.

Line 63 is part of:

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

Does anyone have a solution for this?

Design75:

Very nice !

but it can be written as:

      $having .= ' FIND_IN_SET("' . $key . addslashes($value) . '", GROUP_CONCAT(CONCAT(REPLACE(po.products_options_name, " ", ""), pov.products_options_values_name)))';

Do you think you could explain how this works, which special characters does it escape? Looks like it might be just ["]. If so how would I amend the code to escape other characters? (I have html code in products_options_values_name so there may be more characters to address)

I'm also having trouble getting products to display when characters such as comma and decimal point are in products_options_values_name (no html code in these)

How would I amend the code to convert, I guess

,  to & #44;
.  to & #46;
(spaces added after &)

Thanks

Whilst looking at this further it seems that although there was definitely an issue with using a comma, the no show of some products may be related to the number of characters in products_options_values_name.

It all seems a bit odd, so I'm off to check that file merging was done properly
