extra product fields - show only used restrict label and values in dropdown

[Guest]

Hi,

 

Thank you thank you for this contrib! Its wonderful!

I was wondering if anyone would help me to modify the index.php code of this script so that the restrict dropdowns only show if. For example... I have a category of games and a category of movies. I would like the restrict fields to only show if they are used in the category. I dont want the the movies category to show the restrict feilds or labels for game options. I want it to work as the manufacturer and category product list filter, as i see a few lines above in the index.php file. so heres what im messing with.

 

catalog/index.php

        <!-- begin extra product fields -->
         <tr>
           <td class="main" align="left" colspan="2">
           <?php
             $epf_list = array();
             foreach ($epf as $e) {
               if ($e['restrict']) $epf_list[] = $e['field'];
             }
             echo tep_draw_form('epf_restrict', FILENAME_DEFAULT, 'get');
             if (is_array($HTTP_GET_VARS) && (sizeof($HTTP_GET_VARS) > 0)) {
               reset($HTTP_GET_VARS);
               while (list($key, $value) = each($HTTP_GET_VARS)) {
                 if ( (strlen($value) > 0) && ($key != tep_session_name()) && (!in_array($key, $epf_list)) ) {
                   echo tep_draw_hidden_field($key, $value);
                 }
               }
             }
             foreach ($epf as $e) {
               if ($e['restrict']) {
                 echo sprintf(TEXT_RESTRICT_TO, $e['label'], tep_draw_pull_down_menu($e['field'], tep_build_epf_pulldown($e['id'], $languages_id, array(array('id' => '', 'text' => TEXT_ANY_VALUE))),'', 'onchange="this.form.submit()"')) . '<br>';
               }
             }
            ?>
            </form>
           </td>
         </tr>
         <!-- end extra product fields -->

 

and i see how its done here in

product_listing.php

 // begin extra product fields
           $extra = '';
           foreach ($epf as $e) {
             if ($e['listing']) {
               $mt = ($e['uses_list'] ? ($listing[$e['field']] == 0) : !tep_not_null($listing[$e['field']]));
               if (!$mt) { // only list fields that aren't empty
                 $extra .= '<br><b>' . $e['label'] . ': </b>';
                 if ($e['uses_list']) {
                   $extra .= tep_get_extra_field_list_value($listing[$e['field']],$e['show_chain'] == 1);
                 } else {
                   $extra .= $listing[$e['field']];
                 }
               }
             }
           }
           // end extra product fields

 

in then $extra is called in the next get vars line.

 

I am a novice that would greatly appreciate any help.

 

Thanks!
