!!<Code>!! in Product Full Descriptions not renderingin filtered search results

[graphicz]

Adding code to product description shows raw code in filtered search result.
If I add code to a Product Full Description - rather like this:

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisicing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua. Ut enim ad minim veniam, quis nostrud exercitation ullamco laboris nisi ut aliquip ex ea commodo consequat. Duis aute irure dolor in reprehenderit in voluptate velit esse cillum dolore eu fugiat nulla pariatur. Excepteur sint occaecat cupidatat non proident, sunt in culpa qui officia deserunt mollit anim id est laborum.

- it displays correctly in the product

but as raw code in the filtered search results.

Presumably the javascript is stopping the code executing. The search results and the JS file have already been edited to allow clickable image http://community.sellerdeck.com/showthread.php?t=53920
Please can anyone help?
It is squarely a Sellerdeck problem as the !!<code>!! tags appear in the Product Full Description if the provided text formatting is used so it will affect all clients of Sellerdeck (not just designers but those who use it out of the box) who want descriptions in search results and who want formatting in their product descriptions.

Hello Jonathan

Thank you for bringing this up. I have raised an issue citing Norman's scenario.

Same issue right out of the box!

http://www.graphicz.gb.com/generic/c...&Action=Search

Generic Sellerdeck v12 (2013) site straight out of the box.
Used the built in text formatting tools for the Product Full Description for Wedding Rings and Diamond Pendant.
Selected Product Full Description in filtered search results settings.
Code appears in Filtered search results.

This really takes away the whole point of being able to populate sections with filtering rather than with duplicates which was much trumpeted.

Many of my clients and probably thousands of Sellerdeck/Actinic clients use formatting and additional code in Product Full descriptions

Edit: If the above link doesn't work go to http://www.graphicz.gb.com/generic/index.html and select Wedding Jewellery from the Maga Menu at the top.

Unbelievable

This from support:

This has been confirmed as a bug and it has been raised. A workaround for the time being, is to go to 'Settings | Search Settings | Results' and untick 'Full Description'. This will mean the code will only show in the filtering page. Apologies for the inconvenience.

You cannot market a product on its new features then tell people Oh Actually you cannot use them.

So I now tell the client the whole reason for recommending Sellerdeck (building sections of 'brands' using filtering) now doesn't actually work.

Clumsy Fix

Here is a clumsy fix for someone to improve upon:

1. Create a new variable at product level, general panel, name 'AdditionalCode' type: filename, no use parent and allow empty - leave empty.

2 In your product layout look for:

<p class="product-text">
			<actinic:variable name="ProductDescription" />
		</p>

Change it to:

<p class="product-text">
			<actinic:variable name="ProductDescription" /><br />
			<actinic:block php="true" >
				include '<actinic:variable name="AdditionalCode" encoding="perl" selectable="false" />';
			</actinic:block>
		</p>

3. When completing your Product Full Description, pop up a text file in notepad and put all your fancy stuff: I put:

<h2>Core Blimey</h2>
<span style='color: #800000;'>
<strong>It jolly well works.</strong></span>

NB: You do NOT need the !!<code>!! tags.
Save the file as a text file and enter the filename in the AdditionalCode panel of general.
4. Upload.

Example:
Filtered result without ADditional Code:
http://www.graphicz.gb.com/generic/c...&Action=Search
Product showing additional code:
http://www.graphicz.gb.com/generic/a...s-2.html#SID=1
The content of the additional Code text file:
http://www.graphicz.gb.com/generic/a...coreblimey.txt

Happy days! There has to be a better way? Anybody any ideas?

Thank you very much for reading - sorry for grumpiness!

Solved

This from Jonny in support:

Attached is a new JavaScript file which you can drop it into your site folder. This will overwrite you current actinicsearch,js and will solve the issue

Obviously take a snapshot first and rename the existing file actinicsearch-ORIG,js

Here is the link to Jonny's revised actinicsearch,js

Here is the filtered search results page with formatting displaying correctly
