Search in descriptions by default

Post by amplifywebdesign » Sat Aug 22, 2009 4:47 am

Hi would it be possible to make opencart search in descriptions by default? Also, is there a way to include the category in where it searches?

Thanks

To search descriptions by default - You can place a hidden field in the top search box similar to
<input type="hidden" name="description" value="1">

Do you want to search the categories? The category descriptions? Or do you just want to list them if they contain products in them the meet the search criteria (a bit pointless) Or did you just want to sort them by category?

Ah yes ofcourse! Thank you!

I just want to search in category names (although category descriptions would also be useful)

Cheers

Well I couldn't get it to work so I tried adding &description=1 onto the url.. and presto it worked


Just typing this for anyones future reference
Locate catalog/view/theme/{your-theme}/template/common/search.tpl
and replace the moduleSearch function with this:

Code: Select all

function moduleSearch() {
	location = 'index.php?route=product/search&keyword=' + encodeURIComponent($('#filter_keyword').attr('value')) + '&description=1';
}

Thanks for the help all

Hi Kevin,
First, to help you out with using the forum:

1. To ask a question which does not follow on from a previous discussion, try and find a sub-forum which looks relevant, and post a new topic there (look for 'New Topic' button at the top). For example, this post probably belongs in 'Template Support'. Give it a good title (Bad choice: 'Help!!!' Good choice: 'Where is the place to edit xyz' ) LOL

2. OK...you have a template, but nothing affects the storefront? Do you mean you have uploaded the template correctly, but you're still seeing the default? If so, the template needs to be selected in the admin panel: System > Settings> Store >Template.

But - if that's not the problem - please post again!

Only the mods can move postings. And if you post the same topic elsewhere you get eaten for double posting let's keep going for the moment..
So, when you go to settings > store, the only thing that appears in the template dropdown is the default?

<input type="checkbox" name="description" id="description" checked="checked" />
  <?php } else { ?>
<input type="checkbox" name="description" id="description" checked="checked" />

<input type="checkbox" name="model" id="model" checked="checked" />
  <?php } else { ?>
<input type="checkbox" name="model" id="model" checked="checked" />
