ColumnFilterWidgets extension: not showing filtered items with “>” in the string

Hi,

thanks for your question, and sorry for the trouble.

The problem here is that the > has a special meaning in HTML code (it closes an HTML tag). Due to that, it should be encoded whenever it is not used as such a closing delimiter, by using > instead of >.
It will just look like that in the source code, the visitor will still see the correct > character.

Can you maybe try that?

Regards,
Tobias

Tobias, I changed the interface definition on the unique “2014 Mac Mini” with “AMD RX580” GPU from “16Gbps-TB3>TB2” to your suggested “16Gbps-TB3>TB2” in the table itself.

Upon testing Columnfiltering, the same problem applies. Selecting “16Gbps-TB3>TB2” in the dropdown presents no matching rows. Perusing the full table does show shows matching “16Gbps-TB3>TB2”.

Any other suggestions?

Tobias, due to this incorrect functioning, I’ve disabled the ColumnFilterWidgets on the production environment. I’ll wait for your advice on what to do next.

Hi,

ah, that’s too bad ?? Unfortunately, I’m out of ideas here then. Sorry.

It looks like using such characters in ColumnFilterWidgets is not possible then. As I’m not the original author of this JS code, I also don’t know what changes are necessary here.

If you want to continue using it at least on the other (working) columns, you could exlude the Interface column using the Shortcode parameter that is mentioned on the Extension’s web page.

Regards,
Tobias

I’ll review the mentioned shortcode.

Thank you again Tobias ??

Hi,

sure, no problem!

Best wishes,
Tobias
