Availability Group Categories Showing In Levels AutoSuggest Search

[aarcmedia]

We are seeing categories populate the Levels ReadyTheme AutoSuggest Search system that are assigned to availability groups. The products assigned to availability groups don't show but the categories do. When clicked they obviously go to a dead page.

Anyone know how to stop these "supposedly" blocked categories from showing up?

We have updated the search function to check if a category can be shown based on availability group assignments. Replace the contents of your 'api' page with the following code:

<mvt:if expr="g.get EQ 'autocomplete' AND g.Search">

    <mvt:comment><!-- Autocomplete Category & Product Search --></mvt:comment>

        <mvt:comment><!-- Search for Categories --></mvt:comment>

            <mvt:assign name="g.Fields" value="'code,name'" />
            <mvt:assign name="g.Offset" value="0" />
            <mvt:assign name="g.Max" value="5" />
            <mvt:do file="g.Module_Library_DB" name="l.return" value="CategoryList_Load_Offset(g.Offset, g.Search, g.Fields, g.Max, g.NextOffset, l.settings:categories)" />

            <mvt:foreach iterator="category" array="categories">
