AbleCommerce Shopping Cart Software

I am having trouble with this control - to preface, yes I have applied the recent patch to the final 7 build which had a fix for an issue with the control.

It seems to work well when used on the search results page, I haven't had any problems there. However when I use the control on the category results(ie clicking a top level category from the standard category list control) I am experiencing strange results. Here is my example. 2 main categories 3 items in each 6 items total

1)Click Category 1 - 3 items are displayed. This works as expected.
2)In results click the (x) next to Category 1 to EXPAND the results - here I would expect all 6 items to be listed since I have deselected the original category. However instead, the results remain unchanged with only the Category 1 items listed as before.
3)Click Category 2 in the NARROW section. Here I would expect the 3 Category 2 items to be listed since this is the only category selected at this point. However the results remain unchanged, the 3 items from Category 1 remain.

As I said the patch has been applied and has not resolved the issue.

Anyone experience this issue - is there a workaround/bugfix? I'd love to use this control but if it doesn't work on category searches I can't confuse customers with it.

Thanks!

On the category display page which conlib's category content listing control you are using? From the category content listing control i mean CategoryGridPage or CategoryGridPage2 etc.

I experience the same sort of reaction/result when I use the "product finder".

The patch only fixes this problem for Product Finder (Search.aspx) and one Category Display Page the CategoryGridPage. All other category display pages still suffer.

It looks like there is still a problem with Search.aspx.

If I choose a category on the left and then scroll down to the bottom and click page #2, this is the URL I am taken to:

http://[site name]/Search.aspx?s=Name ASC&c=27&p=1

Notice how the category in the query string is still there (c=27).

If I then click page 3 or any other page, this is the url I am taken to:

http://[site name]/Search.aspx?s=Name ASC&p=2

The category is dropped.

This does not occur for the manufacturer or keyword filters.

Is this a problem in my configuration or should this be reported as a bug?

I vote bug.

Maybe Mazhar can track it down, probably an easy tweak to the other categorygrid controls to resolve it.

Might be a Pepsi in it for you

Hmm there seems to be some problem in the search page. Switching between the pager pages it seems that it loses the track of current category. I have created a new bug for this problem. The bug URL is given below

Thank you Mazhar.

You're doing a great job keeping up with all the forum posts !

Thanks for the complement Joe

Hello All,

Patch for the following case is available.

It looks like there is still a problem with Search.aspx.

If I then click page 3 or any other page, this is the url I am taken to:

This does not occur for the manufacturer or keyword filters.

follow this bug link for the patch. Read the last post for patch details

Thanks for the fix but this page still seems to have problems with expanding and narrowing results.

This problem can be repeated on my site by:

1. Go to product finder (~/Search.aspx).
2. Narrow by a category.
3. Go to page 2 of that category (~/Search.aspx?s=Name%20ASC&c=27&p=1).
4. At this point the expand and narrow category functionality no longer works. I then have to go back to ~/Search.aspx for it to work properly.

I apologize if this has been addressed already. Perhaps there is a patch I'm missing?
