Display extra field in filters page
Hi,
I would like to display the actual criteria on the filters page.
Right now, it display 3 or 4 columns (Search and Replace, Configure Delete, Field) depending on how you count it.
I would like to display the criteria at the end of each row. I can tell it's probably on the feeds_filters.php page, but, how can I do that?
Thanks.
Hi,
That was the plan...! This line:
print "<td>".unserialize($filter["data"])."</td>";...should actually be:
print "<td>".print_r(unserialize($filter["data"]),TRUE)."</td>";The output may appear a little cryptic but you should be able to pick-out all the relevant information without needing special code to display the settings for each filter type.
Cheers,
David.
Okay, thanks. I thought I would re-try explaining it just in case we weren't thinking the same thing. Anyways, I understand the output.
For some reason it doesn't display inside the table cell, but, that's alright, it displays what I need to know.
To make the same modification for Global Filters, look for the following code at line 69 of admin/global_filters.php
print "<th>Field</th>";...and REPLACE with:
print "<th>Field</th>";
print "<th>Criteria</th>";...and then look for the following code at line 87:
print "<td>".$config_fieldSet[$filter["field"]]."</td>";...and REPLACE with:
print "<td>".$config_fieldSet[$filter["field"]]."</td>";
print "<td>".print_r(unserialize($filter["data"]),TRUE)."</td>";Cheers,
David.

Thanks David;
That will work for me.
This is a good mod. Thanks.
I use HTML in my filters so I added htmlspecialchars to make the html display as text instead of being interpreted. Here's the code. Please let me know if you see any issues.
print "<td>".htmlspecialchars(print_r(unserialize($filter["data"]),TRUE))."</td>";
Thanks,
Gregor
That looks fine, Gregor!
Cheers,

Hi David,
I use this mod and it works well and is really useful. Is there a way to display the category mapping with a list of alternates in a similar way in the admin panel, so you can easily see the alternatives. Obviously it might be too much for larger sites but where there are just a few category mappings it could save overlaps.
I have tried the following on categories.php in a similar place to the filters.php, but it does not work
print "<td>".print_r(unserialize($category["alternates"]),TRUE)."</td>";Also with the shortlist feature http://www.pricetapestry.com/node/3707 is there a simple way to email the results to the user or make the cookie longer than the one session.
Many Thanks
Ben
Hi Ben,
The `alternates` field is actually stored as a new-line separated string, so have a go with just:
print "<td>".print nl2br($category["alternates"])."</td>";Regarding the shortlist - sure the cookies can be made persistant (by setting an expire date way into the future). In the shoppingList.php script there are 2 instances of the line that sets the cookie:
setcookie("shoppingList",serialize($shoppingList));...REPLACE each with:
setcookie("shoppingList",serialize($shoppingList),mktime(0,0,0,1,1,2035));Cheers,
David.

Hi David
They both work brilliantly. Fantastic Help as Always
Thank you very much
Ben
Ps The first set cookie line of your reply to be replaced should have been
setcookie("shoppingList",serialize($shoppingList));
Ah yes, well spotted! (corrected above)
Cheers,
David.

Hi,
Yes - that can be done quite easily. In admin/feeds_filters.php, look for the following code at line 80:
print "<th>Field</th>";...and REPLACE with:
print "<th>Field</th>";print "<th>Criteria</th>";
And then look for the following code at line 98
print "<td>".$fields[$filter["field"]]."</td>";...and REPLACE with:
print "<td>".$fields[$filter["field"]]."</td>";print "<td>".print_r(unserialize($filter["data"]),TRUE)."</td>";
Hope this helps!
Cheers,
David.
