hi dave

Is there anyway that the filters applied to various fields can also be applied to the "extra fields"

regards

Hi,

Yes - but not by using the "Extra fields" feature; which infact I am considering depreciating from the distribution.

It has been made redundant as a result of a new feature that enables the value of any other field to be incorporated into the custom text enetered into a "Text Before" or "Text After" filter.

For more information, check the documentation on:
http://www.pricetapestry.com/node/133
(section: Combining Fields Using the Text Before and Text After Filters)

The way this replaces the extra description fields function is that you can apply a "Text After" filter to the description field, and then incorporate any other field using the placeholders such as %DELIVERY% for example.

Then, you can of course apply additional filters after the "Text After" filter has been applied by creating it afterwards - as filters are applied in the order in which they are created.

Cheers,
David.

I've tried using field place holders using the text before / after filters for the product name, but instead the product name appears like:

Nokia N80 on %Network%.

Instead of the content of the field "Network"...

Hi,

If the source feed is XML format the field name will have to be in upper case (e.g. %NETWORK%). If it's a CSV variant feed that you're using then it may be mixed case in which case i'd need to investigate - i'll take a look at that...

Cheers,
David.
