Cannot select products for discont or badges

Hi,

Thanks for the report.
Would it be possible to have more details about the products you got in the category ?
The goal is to understand why you got "null", what should be really displayed.

Hi,

Thanks for the accesses.
We saw that the products displayed by "null" are products with special characters (like "Č").
I tried to reproduce the issue in my local website but the display is fine on my side.
I checked if there were some modifications between the current stable release and the development version and I there is nothing related to the display of the elements.

So I see the source of the error but it is difficult to explain exactly why you have the error.
I see two differences with my local website.
First I can see it that I have a database with a "utf8_bin" collation and you have a database with a "latin1_swedish_ci" collation.
Second, You're using PHP 5.3.29 and I'm using PHP 5.4.12

It looks like that PHP 5.4 is better with UTF8 in strings when encoding to JSON.
( stackoverflow.com/questions/8143163/php-...null-instead-of-text )

So the best might be to detect if the product name have some special characters and is not in UTF8 ; in order to convert it into UTF8.

So in the file "administrator/components/com_hikashop/classes/product.php" please replace

		if(!empty($displayFormat) && !empty($displayFormat_tags)) {
			if($p->product_quantity == -1)
				$p->product_quantity = JText::_('UNLIMITED');
			$p->product_name = htmlentities($p->product_name);
			$o->name = $displayFormat;

			foreach($displayFormat_tags[1] as $key) {
				$o->name = str_replace('{'.$key.'}', $p->$key, $o->name);
			}
		}
		if(empty($o->name)) {
			$o->name = htmlentities($p->product_name);
			if(empty($o->name))
				$o->name = '['.$p->product_id.']';
		}

		if(!preg_match('!!u', $p->product_name))
			$product_name = htmlentities(utf8_encode($p->product_name));
		else
			$product_name = htmlentities($p->product_name);

		if(!empty($displayFormat) && !empty($displayFormat_tags)) {
			if($p->product_quantity == -1)
				$p->product_quantity = JText::_('UNLIMITED');
			$p->product_name = $product_name;
			$o->name = $displayFormat;

			foreach($displayFormat_tags[1] as $key) {
				$o->name = str_replace('{'.$key.'}', $p->$key, $o->name);
			}
		}
		if(empty($o->name)) {
			$o->name = $product_name;
			if(empty($o->name))
				$o->name = '['.$p->product_id.']';
		}
