To make a filter search case
insensitive i added the following code to filter.class.inc.php (Ditto2) at line 88:
case 9 : // case insenstive version of #7 - exclude records that do not contain the text of the criterion
if (strpos(strtolower($value[$this->array_key]), strtolower($this->filterValue))===FALSE)
$unset = 0;
break;
case 10 : // case insenstive version of #8 - exclude records that do contain the text of the criterion
if (strpos(strtolower($value[$this->array_key]), strtolower($this->filterValue))!==FALSE)
$unset = 0;
break;
: &filter=`field,string,9`
i also had another filter problem - to search lastnames of people in the database but by the first character only. i could not find a way to do this with "out-of-the-box" ditto so i added the following code to filter.class.inc.php:
case 11 : // checks leading character of the field
$firstChr = strtoupper(substr($value[$this->array_key], 0, 1));
if ($firstChr!=$this->filterValue)
$unset = 0;
break;
: &filter=`field,character,11`
i hope this helps anyone, or if there’s a better way please enlighten me!
