Hi,

I’m not entirely sure what you mean here. But that’s independent from Joomla content and apply to all the items in JA Mega Filter.

You guys are saying, Megafilter will filter content using custom fields. Except, it does not display the content like it normally does in Joomla?

Your content filter page should basically work like a Joomla blog or list layout. I can’t see how it can work any other way?

Unless I hack my template file, I cannot get Custom Fields to display, even though you advertise that it works with custom fields.

I am unable to set the direction of my content, like, Alphabetical, etc.

Tags aren’t clickable and they don’t appear unless a do a template override.

It’s a cool component, but it is still very young and lacking a lot of features that should by default be there. I mean, you’re trying to replace Joomla’s blog layout, but stripping out all the blog layout functions.

here’s another example. you hacked the template override to display text that should be called from the intro text. BUT, it does not show all the intro text on all the articles that i am trying to filter. it only shows some stuff the way you hacked the override.

Hi,

JA Megafitler provides a way to Find and Search Joomla Article under some Conditions, and display them in a List. As JSON get Data, we can’t use Joomla Default blog view to display, we create ourselves and with JSON it has some limitation which we’re trying to overcome.

I am unable to set the direction of my content, like, Alphabetical, etc.

Sorting feature is added in latest version, please update to latest version.

It’s a cool component, but it is still very young and lacking a lot of features that should by default be there.

Yes, JA MegaFilter is still being developed. We add more new features to JA Megafilter according to user’s feedback, and show Custom Field in Result Page is one of them.

I added the tag too.
Edit file:
/templates/shaper_helix3/html/layouts/jamegafilter/content/default/product-item.php

Add the code:

<div class="product-tags">

{attr.tag.frontend_value}

The tags don’t show anymore after updating to the latest version. Did this change, {attr.tag.frontend_value}?

@ijack

In new verison, we supports show tag as tree. So the data has changed a bit. You can revert old data by change this line on helper.php and re-index. Then you can use {attr.tag.frontend_value}

$tdata['frontend_value'][] = $this->getTagTreeName($tag);

to

$tdata['frontend_value'][] = $tag->title;

I am unable to set the direction of my content, like, Alphabetical, etc.

What do you mean by this? We already have sorting feature.

Regards!

Thanks, that solved the tag issue.

Look here: http://www.khayavolunteer.com/volunteering

All articles are sorted by ID. The client wants them sorted alphabetically.

@ijack,

I saw that your layout was changed. It makes default sorting feature doesn’t work. So we have to hard code to file helper.php. Find this line

->order('id desc');

change to this

->order('title asc');

Then chose default sorting direct is DESC.

Can you tell me where you added this line so that I know for future updates where to add it again?

Also, it does not work, still not alphabetical.

@ijack,

I’ve cleaned cache, disable System – JCH Optimize plugin, and updated the componet. The sorting is alphabet now.

You can check line number 82 on helper.php of content plugin.

Now the html tags are back!

[ijack Friend ijackJoin date: June 2009Posts: 16Downloads:16Uploads:2 Thanked: 1 times in 1 posts]

#1064438

I fixed it by looking at a previous reply from Mo0nlight:

HTML in the description.
Edit the file:/plugins/jamegafilter/content/helper.php
line 108:

$item->desc = !empty($baseItem->introtext) ? ($baseItem->introtext) : ”;
Edit the file:
/components/com_jamegafilter/assets/js/libs.js
line 299.

h: function(value) { return value; },

Must Index again.
