Custom Fields and Advanced Search

Hi,

I hope someone can help!

I have set up a ‘checkbox’ custom field in listing set up. I’d like this to become a means by which customers can filter down their options through advanced search.

I have uploaded my data via csv and although it falls under the correct DB key and is comma separated (example 1, example 2, example 3…) it seems to be treating that as a block of text and although in the listing manager the checkboxes are there as options, they all remain unticked and instead there is a text based list in the custom field section saying “example 1, example 2, example 3”.

When I try and incorporate this into the advanced search the list of options come up as the text based strings (example 1, example 2 and example 1, example 2, example 3 as options).

Can anybody help me please?

Thanks,

Tom
