Hi David,
Hope all is well.
I wondered if you might be able to help me with a filter. In summary, I’m standardising merchant sizes using regex filters. It’s going well and nearly complete but I have a problem where the regex ‘rules’ need to be different for mens and womens sizes. Quite a while back you wrote a filter (“Alternative If Set DB Trigger”) which replaces text in a field if text in a ‘trigger field’ matches a regex rule. I wondered if it might be possible to create a variation of this filter so that I can set a trigger field (and trigger regex) and if it’s matched then the existing “Search and Replace RegExp_v1” is run? I tried writing a combined filter but so far no joy…
Thanks in advance.
Best regards
Chris
Hi David,
Thanks the above mod. Ideally, I would like to apply the ‘triggered’ filters globally rather than by individual feed. Could you suggest if there is a way to do this given the filter trigger field needs to be set to the parsed field name? Is there a way I can specify the dB field name instead?
Thanks in advance.
Best regards
Chris
Hi Chris,
Sure - I think you already have $importRecord declared as global but double check that in your modified includes/admin.php you have the following code around line 149:
global $importRecord;And then have a go with the following alternative to the above, using database field name instead of feed (e.g. any field as defined in $config_fieldSet in config.advanced.php)...
/*************************************************/
/* searchReplaceRegExpTriggered */
/*************************************************/
$filter_names["searchReplaceRegExpTriggered"] = "Search and Replace RegExp Triggered";
function filter_searchReplaceRegExpTriggeredConfigure($filter_data)
{
print "Trigger Field:<br />";
print "<input type='text' name='trigger_field' value='".widget_safe($filter_data["trigger_field"])."' />";
widget_errorGet("search");
print "Trigger Regexp:<br />";
print "<input type='text' name='trigger_regexp' value='".widget_safe($filter_data["trigger_regexp"])."' />";
widget_errorGet("search");
print "Search RegExp:<br />";
print "<input type='text' name='search' value='".widget_safe($filter_data["search"])."' />";
widget_errorGet("search");
print "Replace:<br />";
print "<input type='text' name='replace' value='".widget_safe($filter_data["replace"])."' />";
widget_errorGet("replace");
}
function filter_searchReplaceRegExpTriggeredValidate($filter_data)
{
if (!$filter_data["search"])
{
widget_errorSet("search","required field");
}
}
function filter_searchReplaceRegExpTriggeredExec($filter_data,$text)
{
global $importRecord;
if (preg_match($filter_data["trigger_regexp"],$importRecord[$filter_data["trigger_field"]]))
{
return trim(preg_replace(filter_recordPlaceholders($filter_data["search"]),$filter_data["replace"],$text));
}
else
{
return $text;
}
}Hope this helps!
Cheers,
David.

Hello Chris,
Have a go with the following "Search and Replace RegExp Triggered"...
/*************************************************//* searchReplaceRegExpTriggered */
/*************************************************/
$filter_names["searchReplaceRegExpTriggered"] = "Search and Replace RegExp Triggered";
function filter_searchReplaceRegExpTriggeredConfigure($filter_data)
{
print "Trigger Field:<br />";
print "<input type='text' name='trigger_field' value='".widget_safe($filter_data["trigger_field"])."' />";
widget_errorGet("search");
print "Trigger Regexp:<br />";
print "<input type='text' name='trigger_regexp' value='".widget_safe($filter_data["trigger_regexp"])."' />";
widget_errorGet("search");
print "Search RegExp:<br />";
print "<input type='text' name='search' value='".widget_safe($filter_data["search"])."' />";
widget_errorGet("search");
print "Replace:<br />";
print "<input type='text' name='replace' value='".widget_safe($filter_data["replace"])."' />";
widget_errorGet("replace");
}
function filter_searchReplaceRegExpTriggeredValidate($filter_data)
{
if (!$filter_data["search"])
{
widget_errorSet("search","required field");
}
}
function filter_searchReplaceRegExpTriggeredExec($filter_data,$text)
{
global $filter_record;
if (preg_match($filter_data["trigger_regexp"],$filter_record[$filter_data["trigger_field"]]))
{
return trim(preg_replace(filter_recordPlaceholders($filter_data["search"]),$filter_data["replace"],$text));
}
else
{
return $text;
}
}
Trigger Field is as per the parsed record (so field names corresponding with the sample data shown on Feed Registration Step 2 for the associated feed) as I see you are already referring to fields in this way in other filters in the modified includes/filters.php (e.g. Explode From Field)...
Hope this helps!
Cheers,
David.
