Hi all,
I'm quite new using pricetapestry and PHP in general.
I have a problem using the Explode filter in the category field. As I saw in other posts, some of my feeds uses the ">" symbol to separate the different category levels like : "Main category > Sub category 1 > Sub category 2"
If I understood well, I can have "Sub category 1" saved as category for a product using the Explode filter with ">" as Explode Character and "-2" as Return Index (both without the quotes). The problem is that if I do this, my categories page appears empty. If I use "-2" as Return Index the categories are listed like without using the Explode filter.
I tried to do a "search and replace" filter just for testing and it works for "_" but not for ">".
I also tried to add ">" to:
$importRecord["category"] = tapestry_normalise($importRecord["category"],">");
Like suggested here.
I also tried moving this line like explained here.
Did I miss any step or do you have any idea about how to solve it?
Thank you in advance for your help :)
Hi David
Hope your well
I am trying to explode a category with the " - " symbol, but for some reason its not working
this is the current code
$importRecord["category"] = tapestry_normalise($importRecord["category"],"\/,>,~~,|");i had thought this would work, but it hasn't
$importRecord["category"] = tapestry_normalise($importRecord["category"],"\/,>,~~,-,|");is there something else i need to change other than this line in the includes/admin.php?
Thanks in advance

Hello Phil,
That should ordinarily work fine, so I'm wondering if it's a soft-hyphen from the UTF-8 character set rather than the ASCII character hyphen/minus. A soft hyphen is in the code block below:
‐Use Copy and Paste to copy from the above into the allow string in the call to the tapestry_normalise() function as you have done for the minus sign, and then into the Explode Character or String box in your filter and that might be all it is...
Cheers,
David.

I tried that, but it didn't work, but just found the answer in this fantastic support forum! here - help with categories, and products within them

Hi Marco,
You made the correct modification at first glace - which is to permit ">" in the category field using:
$importRecord["category"] = tapestry_normalise($importRecord["category"],">");However, if that doesn't work it's possible that the ">" is actually entity encoded within your feed as ">" - in which case extend the above modification as follows:
$importRecord["category"] = tapestry_normalise($importRecord["category"],">&;");...and then edit your filter using ">" as the Explode Character or String instead of ">" and that might do the trick...!
Cheers,
David.
