Accents and blank spaces in "select" fields was created by alcallejo

Hi all,

I am having some trouble with the front-end filtering of "select" fields. When I choose certain options of the "select" box, the filtering is carried out correctly, but other times the box returns to the "-All-" option without filtering the results (just showing "No items available for this category").
I think the filtering is carried out correctly only for "select" options without blank spaces and accents (Spanish accents "´"). May it be a problem with the language charset or something like that?
I suppose the general syntax

Code:

value1::Label1%% value2::Label2%% value3::Label3

allows things like

Code:

The shining::The shining%% The lovely bones::The lovely bones%% ...

Thank you very much in advance,
Alfonso

Just a minute after posting the question I have found the solution

. I guess the correct syntax for "select" fields consisting of several words is:

Code:

1::The lovely bones%% 2::The Passion%% ...

No one said that the "value" part of the options had to be a single word/number without accents... Flexicontent documentation is still so succinct...

Take care!
Alfonso
