Thank you ??

Thanks! Is there anything I can read or refer to to understand the syntax of this? Right now I want the limits to be 1900 to 2000 but might play with these a bit in the near future.

If not, can you please tell me what the regex patter would be for the following:
1. 1900 to 2000
2. 1890 to 2000
3. 1890 to 2010

Really appreciate the help! Thanks again.

Hello Hivepress, I read your latest notification, will post on the community page from now on, thank you for the help by far. There was someone else on the page that was experiencing a similar problem like mine and I have shared your solutions there too. If you can reply here to the above query it would be great so that we can conclude this thread and I will ask all other questions on the community page from hence forth.

Thats the community page I mentioned ^

That worked! But now I am not able to set upper and lower limits for the year in Editing section. How can I also have that?

That was an interesting suggestion. I did try it out (set language to Hindi, India) but it didn’t work for the commas in the price I was referring to.

The commas in the price is not such a big problem the bigger problem is the commas that appear in the YEAR attribute. The year MUST look like 1997 and not 1,997.

Any fix for that?

One more thing. You had said this a few replies ago:

Filters may disappear if they are category-specific, please edit these attributes in Listings/Attributes and check if they are assigned to some categories, if so then these filters will not appear for all categories.

To test this out, I set all categories to the same attributes (now each category has all the attributes I have created). But still when I select “All categories” in the search, the filters disappear. Whats the problem now?

Okay, honestly speaking, web development is alien to me. Could you please explain that is more layman terms?

I had another similar problem where the Year Of Manufacture attribute i mentioned, shows up with commas instead of displaying the year in YYYY format. The attribute is currently set with field type as Number and displays the input 1997 as 1,997. How can I change this too?

That worked. Thanks! It was also a silly mistake on my part, I forgot to set the upper and lower limits in the filter. Added more listings and the limits and it worked.

Speaking of the filters, I have another question. I want to display the price in the following format: 1,00,000 as opposed to the default 100,000 format. How do I do that? Just want the commas to appear after every 2 digits going right to left after the hundredths place.

Here’s what I did, I deleted the attribute and added a new Year of Manufacture attribute. Now the filter seems to work fine. The only difference I see is that earlier it used to be a slider to select the range, now its asks the user to input max and min values for the range. Why did that change?

I tried doing what you suggested (now Year of Manufacture is a number field type) and then added a new listing with a year of manufacture of 2000 and set the filter to 1890 to 2000 the result is still “nothing found”, I even moved the higher limit of filter to 2001 as well as change the year on the listing to 1999 and the result is still the same.

edit: could it be because the Year of Manuf is a shared attribute among two of my categories? I personally don’t think it should affect it.

Thank you for the reply.

Okay, what you are saying is correct. I now have narrowed it down to one particular attribute (Year of manufacture) that’s giving me a problem. I am making a listings site for used cars and I have currently two options for the year of manufacture for the user to select from when submitting the listing: 1900 and 1990. For the filters I have set it as a range between min and max value of 1890 and 2000 respectively. All my test listings currently have the year as 1900 and so I was expecting them to be displayed when the the entire range was selected as a filter. But it still gives me “nothing found” when i hit the filter button with the range 1890-2000 selected.

The filters work fine if I remove the Year Of manufacture attribute from the filter option. Anything else I am missing?

edit: is it because i have set the date as a selectable/drop down menu attribute and not an attribute that the user inputs by typing?

Okay, is there any way to upload all this data using an excel file? Cause manually inputting all this data would be rather inefficient.

Thanks that worked! I opted to go for Simple Custom Post Order plugin instead.

I really appreciate the help! I deleted my old plugin and installed the Code Snippets plugin. Then added the same code and selected run everywhere option. It works now!

I tried submitting the listing without images and it accepted it, didn’t warn or indicate image as being required. What could be the issue?
