Hi David.
I having a problem when i add HTML into a filter. For example, if i add a text after filter to append a field to the end of the product description, like so, %home delivery%. The filter works great, however on the search results page, if the text limit gets reached after the open DIV and before the closing DIV the page layout breaks. I could use tags but if i have 10 fields to append, and a certain product doesnt have anything in thoes fields, ill have a row of 10 tags. Would it be possible to remove the text after filter from only the description on the search results page?
Thanks
cropping it at the sign of the first DIV sounds great, thanks
Just incase anyone else is looking to do this. Try this code instead:
<p>
<?php
if (strpos($product["description"],"<"))
{
$product["description"] = substr($product["description"],0,strpos($product["description"],"<DIV"));
}
print substr($product["description"],0,250);
?>
</p>i just replaced <DIV with <
Hiya,
What I would suggest in this scenario would be a modification to html/searchresults.php that automatically crops the description at the first occurance of the opening DIV tag; followed by the 250 character crop.
Currently, the description is displayed with the following code:
<p><?php print substr($product["description"],0,250); ?></p>What you could do is this:
<p><?php
if (strpos($product["description"],"<DIV"))
{
$product["description"] = substr($product["description"],0,strpos($product["description"],"<DIV"));
}
print substr($product["description"],0,250);
?>
</p>
The only other alternative would be to create a new field on the database to hold the description snippet and modify the search system to use the new field rather than the main description field - but that would quite a lot more code than this work around.
Cheers,
David.
