Invalid characters: <>; = # {}

[SliderFlash]

in the categories, Invalid characters: <>; = # {}
I want to allow these characters <> to include an icon image, can you tell me where I can change that?

Checks are done in classes/validate.php.

The function for category names is isCatalogName

in classes/validate.php.

@musicmaster Thanks for the info about validate.php,

I did the following but it still does not work ( see screenshots ) , in my case on PS 1.7 latest version, I am trying to add a <br /> tag ( html line break ) in the category name. In my test I tried to put a hashtag #

 

When I put "Category # Test " for example,  I have tried to overwrite the file "Validate.php" , as explained on another topic by redefining the function "isCatalogName"  :

<?php
class Validate extends ValidateCore
{

    public static function isCatalogName($name)
    {
        // simple test
        return !preg_match('/[]/i', $name);
        
    }
}

 

now I should be able to put a hashtag like # but still get the error like on screenshot above. I am using latest version 1.7

I have tried different ways :

- overwritting only the file "Validate.php"
- overwritting Validate.php, but also Category.php and CMSCategory.php where the function "isCatalogName($name)" is called and removing the validation in these files.

- removing the overitten files and editing directly the Core Files in the class directory , then cleared cache, etc.
- I cleared cache in backend and also var/cache files to be sure each time, logged out / logged in administration every time. Refreshed browser cache / Changed browser too !

It does not work.

I do not understand..! are there any instructions....?

Edited July 12, 2020 by SliderFlash (see edit history)

[Guest]

./classes/Category.php

find

'name' => array('type' => self::TYPE_STRING, 'lang' => true, 'validate' => 'isCatalogName', 'required' => true, 'size' => 128)

change to

'name' => array('type' => self::TYPE_HTML, 'lang' => true, 'validate' => 'isCleanHtml', 'required' => true, 'size' => 65000)

 

Validate.php does not need to be modified

But it will never work.

It will still show the error because it always tries to create a URL from the name.
The most sensible thing is to add your own HTML field and paste the code into it.
A minimum knowledge of Prestashop 5/10 is required for editing.

I also think that not all characters should be allowed, only for pictures < = " " > otherwise there is a great risk of sql injection.

do you have an idea for a snippet of code? or instructions?

This is possible in PHPBB FORUM, it can be inserted in every category picture icon

Thank you

[Guest]

Am I correct that you're trying to put a picture or category icon in the Menu or category list?

Write the reason for the adjustment to make it understand.

[SliderFlash]

yes exactly, a symbol for the categories,
"Pictures are worth a thousand words"
It is better for orientation in the menu and the eyes do not get tired quickly.

no for Menu Navigation

Go to ./themes/your-theme/modules/ps_mainmenu/ps_mainmenu.tpl

Find:

{foreach from=$nodes item=node}

add after:

{if $node.image_urls|count}
            {foreach from=$node.image_urls item=image_url}
                <img src="{$image_url}" style="height:32px;margin-right: -10px;">
            {/foreach}
        {/if}

full tpl:

{assign var=_counter value=0}
{function name="menu" nodes=[] depth=0 parent=null}
    {if $nodes|count}
      <ul class="top-menu" {if $depth == 0}id="top-menu"{/if} data-depth="{$depth}">
        {foreach from=$nodes item=node}
        {if $node.image_urls|count}
            {foreach from=$node.image_urls item=image_url}
                <img src="{$image_url}" style="height:32px;margin-right: -10px;">
            {/foreach}
        {/if}
            <li class="{$node.type}{if $node.current} current {/if}" id="{$node.page_identifier}">
            {assign var=_counter value=$_counter+1}
              <a
                class="{if $depth >= 0}dropdown-item{/if}{if $depth === 1} dropdown-submenu{/if}"
                href="{$node.url}" data-depth="{$depth}"
                {if $node.open_in_new_window} target="_blank" {/if}
              >
                {if $node.children|count}
                  {* Cannot use page identifier as we can have the same page several times *}
                  {assign var=_expand_id value=10|mt_rand:100000}
                  <span class="float-xs-right hidden-md-up">
                    <span data-target="#top_sub_menu_{$_expand_id}" data-toggle="collapse" class="navbar-toggler collapse-icons">

                      <i class="material-icons remove">&#xE316;</i>
                    </span>
                  </span>
                {/if}
                {$node.label}
              </a>
              {if $node.children|count}
              <div {if $depth === 0} class="popover sub-menu js-sub-menu collapse"{else} class="collapse"{/if} id="top_sub_menu_{$_expand_id}">
                {menu nodes=$node.children depth=$node.depth parent=$node}

Thanks

Thanks very nice

[Guest]

It is always better to write in detail what you need to do, make a screen, paint an arrow where you want to edit the code, etc., then the answer is simple and fast.

[Guest]

You can give like a click and a gray heart below my posts.

[Guest]

You can also put a large category icon in the drop-down menu.
Just put the code before:

{menu nodes=$node.children depth=$node.depth parent=$node}

sample:

{if $node.image_urls|count}
  {foreach from=$node.image_urls item=image_url}
    <img src="{$image_url}" style="height:85px;">
  {/foreach}
{/if}
{menu nodes=$node.children depth=$node.depth parent=$node}

 

result:

[SliderFlash]

how did you insert the picture? I get errors, I have inserted the code as described above

 

[Guest]

?????????????????

Do not put anything in the category name !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[SliderFlash]

ok I did not show that first, then I tried another category menu, which was arranged at the top of the menu, it is then displayed.

[Guest]

In the basic Menu module, only images in the main category can be displayed.
It is not possible for subcategories.
You have to buy a module for that.
E.g. https://addons.prestashop.com/en/menu/29701-mega-menu-builder.html

I consider this thread solved.

[SliderFlash]

With me, no image is displayed like yours no matter what I do
