Hiding/showing categories

[mawby]

Hi, hope all these reports don't get me banned or something! My site has all the vb3 integration options turned on. When viewing the home page the user has the option to hide/show categories by clicking the + or - image to the far right of the category name. However, this returns a "error 404 not found" message. I've not investigated this bug as I took the easy route and removed the button from the template, but thought you might like to know. All the other options work so I can assume my system is configured correctly. I can revert the template if you need more info about this problem.

LOL no these will not get you banned.

Well I think we would need to see a link to your install as I do not show any issues with this and I have visited about 5 vb3 classifieds installs to check.

[mawby]

The link is http://www.mkivsupra.net/pp-classifieds. As stated I have removed the button from the template, but I can put it back in if needed.

[Chuck S]

I would need unmodified files placed back to assist and see whats going on

[mawby]

OK, having placed the original files back in I can the problem. The collapse/expand does work, however it is when it tries to reload the page afters that it goes wrong because it redirects the user to...

http://www.mkivsupra.net/pp-classifieds/misc.php.php

Note the double .php at the end. Taking one of those off loads the page correctly with the category expanded or collapse as expected. You can test this using the logins I've PM'd you for the permissions problem.

Here is the link

http://www.mkivsupra.net/pp-classifi...4&script=index

In pp-inc.php replace in bold on the lines 839-842

it should be catopts.php not misc.php

[mawby]

Yep that change works perfectly.

[prodigy]

I encounter the same problem.

But after I change the code in pp-inc.php from misc.php to catopts.php it still shows a 404 error.

I scanned the source files and I can't find any files by the name of catopts.php.

Please help ....................

[Chuck S]

That would be because in the current download Michael has moved catopts into the misc.php file

I suggest you make sure you download and update your files.

[prodigy]

Updated the files, and it is now pointing to:

Expand:
http://www.singaporeexpats.com/class...0&script=index

Implode:
http://www.singaporeexpats.com/class...1&script=index

Still shows 404 error ..........

Found this inside misc.php, can you check for me?

if ( $action == "catopts" ) {
// Lets check the need to expand/collapse categories
if ( isset($expand) || isset($implode) ) {
if ( is_numeric($expand) ) {
if ( $expand > 0 && strstr($cpcollapse, ",$expand,") ) {
$cpcollapse = str_replace( ",$expand,", "", $cpcollapse );
setcookie( "cpcollapse", $cpcollapse, time()+2592000 );
}
}

if ( is_numeric($implode) ) {
if ( $implode > 0 && !strstr($cpcollapse, ",$implode,") ) {
$cpcollapse .= ",$implode,";
setcookie( "cpcollapse", $cpcollapse, time()+2592000 );
}
}
}

$more = ( isset($cat) ? "?cat=$cat" : "" );
header( "Location: $script.php$more" );

Please help ..............
}

[Chuck S]

In misc.php add in bold

typecast($_REQUEST, array('script' => STRING,'do' => STRING, 'action' => STRING, 'product' => INT, 'cat' => STRING, 'report' => INT,

[prodigy]

Great! That works

One more question, howcome I can't implode/collapse all categories ?

For example: ALL the categories in the index page will always expanded except one and when I collaspe one of them, the original one will expand. That means no matter what I click (collapse or expand), there will be only ONE cat collapsed and ALL the rest expanded.

Is this a bug ? ...... Please advice

[Chuck S]

I suggest you download and update your files. any bugs reported and fixed have been updated in the build

[prodigy]

Updated to the latest.

Same problem, there is only ONE category that can be collapsed at ONE TIME and ALL the rest will be expanded if another category is collapsed.

Can take a look ??

[Chuck S]

I will try to do more testing but I cant replicate this issue using the latest code.

[prodigy]

Hi Omegatron,

Maybe you can take a look at my site:
http://classifieds.singaporeexpats.com

Then perhaps you can know where the problem lies ...

All the files in the root dir are new, all the files in the template dir are new too of cos except the editproduct, showcat, showproduct and uploadproduct.

Thanks!

[prodigy]

Is this code working for mine ???

if ( $action == "catopts" ) {
// Lets check the need to expand/collapse categories
if ( isset($expand) || isset($implode) ) {
if ( is_numeric($expand) ) {
if ( $expand > 0 && strstr($cpcollapse, ",$expand,") ) {
$cpcollapse = str_replace( ",$expand,", "", $cpcollapse );
setcookie( "cpcollapse", $cpcollapse, time()+2592000 );
}
}

if ( is_numeric($implode) ) {
if ( $implode > 0 && !strstr($cpcollapse, ",$implode,") ) {
$cpcollapse .= ",$implode,";
setcookie( "cpcollapse", $cpcollapse, time()+2592000 );
}
}
}

$more = ( isset($cat) ? "?cat=$cat" : "" );
header( "Location: $script.php$more" );
}

Can someone show me how to disable the expand feature?
Just like yours: http://classifieds.singaporeexpats.com/


I have the same problem with the PhotoPost Classifieds 2.41 product.
/misc.php?action=catopts&implode=3&script=index has some strange active content and wont work under ie 6.0. When you click back to the page it's imploded but it must be caching the page or session somehow ..
and you cant re-implode it afterwards:

My site is here: http://www.jersey-auctions.com/auction/

But my code for /pp-inc.php is located on line 864.

Content visible to verified customers only.

Is this what im suppose to change? also there is one under: /languages/english/pp-inc.php but i't does not have any of those varibles.

Thanks in advance if anyone can help.

[Chuck S]

this thread should help disable it

How to disable collapse / expand feature?

Sounds to me like a cookie issue. I am still unable to replicate

[tcroft2683]

that worked like a charm.
