Faulty Condition if [LINK] used in Product Description

[NormanRouxel]

SellerDeck 2014 has a BlockIf around the product description. E.g:

<actinic:block if="%3cactinic%3avariable%20name%3d%22ProductDescription%22%20%2f%3e%20%21%3d%20%22%22"><div class="product-text"><actinic:variable name="ProductDescription" /></div></actinic:block>

Essentally, if Product Description not empty, then output <div class="product-text">Description</div>.

This condition fails if the Advanced Link capability is used. And no description appears.

I.e. Demo Site / Solitaire Diamond Ring.
Go to Design tab.
Amend description to be:

3ct solitaire [LINK]diamond ring.
Available in both yellow gold and white gold.
.
Error appears (if it doesn't) go to the Links tab and fill in an Advanced Link.

Weirdly it seems to be sensitive to the actual text used. E.g. in the Solitaire Diamond Ring, product:

3ct solitaire [LINK] diamond ring.
Available in both yellow gold and white gold.

Is OK

But:
3ct solitaire [LINK] diamond ring.
Available in both yellow gold and white gold.

Also fails (2 spaces after the [LINK].

UPDATE: This is even weirder than I first thought. I tried this on another site with the following text:

3ct solitaire[LINK]diamond ring.
Available in both yellow gold and white gold.

And the error doesn't appear. Now if I change the text to be:

A 3ct solitaire[LINK]diamond ring.
Available in both yellow gold and white gold.

The error re-appears even though all I've done is add one letter to the start of the sentence. I've changed nothing around the [LINK] area but now get an error.

Hi Dean,
Was this issue ever rectified as i am also experiencing the similar bug whilst developing the site for a client? I can't see any bug fixes within the 14.0.02 release notes.

Hello Lee,

Please PM me I would like to obtain a copy of the site you are working on. However is appears this may have been resolved in 14.0.1 as

"Using square brackets in a product full description misbehaves, breaks product links in search/filtering"
SD-4715 (Panned for next release).

Checking this further.

[EDIT]

ON further analysis the bug referred to on this post was resolved in 14.0.1 under:

SD-4712

Currently the workaround is to delete the condition opening 'block if' and closing '/block' statements around the "ProductDescription" variable;

I.E. replace:

<actinic:block if="%3cactinic%3avariable%20name%3d%22ProductDescription%22%20%2f%3e%20%21%3d%20%22%22" ><div class="product-text"><actinic:variable name="ProductDescription" /></div></actinic:block>

with

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

Hi Dean,
Thanks for the additional information. Unfortunately I would like the block statements around the Product description as my client has not entered Product Description content for all his product therefore his page will have a title 'Description' and then nothing underneath.

Has the issue with square brackets within the content been addressed if the block tage are placed around the Product Description variable?

I look forward to hearing form you.
