Search in descriptions by default

Post by Moggin » Mon Jul 26, 2010 11:48 pm

Kevin/preciousfoods, it sounds as if the theme is not fully uploaded, or perhaps not in the right place.

Your custom theme folder should be under catalog/view/theme/ as seen here in a local folder - right next to the default folder

and the theme folder should contain 3 more folders

...in which should be some files.

Is your Flower theme in this location, with its image, stylesheet and template subfolders?

Hi again,
Don't worry about reinstalling or changing file paths at this point, as I don't think this will help. I'm a bit baffled about how the folders can be there but no theme found via the admin panel. I will try and help though.

Let's retrace some steps. You installed a fresh copy of v1.4.8b, and everything looked OK.Then you uploaded the theme files to their correct location. But when you visit your store admin panel, the theme name is not listed within the store template dropdown box.

I wonder, have you made any other changes to your files? Also, is the theme compatible with 1.4.8b?

Something you could try is to re-upload the theme: it's not likely, but there is a chance some files are missing.

Also, is the shop functioning as expected? Again, I'm only wondering if there may be files missing.

Ah thank you... but why is nothing changing if I modify in my admin settings? Like if I change the name of the store it doesn't show on the storefront? Probably I just don t understand how it works...

The changes ought to show, if you click the 'save' button after you've made them. You might need to refresh the storefront using Ctrl+F5 (...though if you use YummyFTP ,I guess you have a Mac, and I know absolutely zip about Macs )

The only concern here is that 'create store' button. This is for multi-store setups, as Xsecrets says: I only have one store, so never really looked at it. I'm assuming you didn't create another store, just left the Default setting up there.

Also, when changing the shop's title -on the same page where the template dropdown is found - it will only change the page title as seen in a browser. So, in Chrome/Opera, it will show on the tab, and IE, it will show on the top bar - but it won't show on the shop home page.

The 'Your Store' thing you see on the home page is the default logo. You can change this via Settings > Image: click on the logo, and (we hope!) the image manager appears, where you can upload your own logo.

Not so, just learning like the rest of us on here! Hope everything's working OK.

any idea how to do this in 1.5.x?

Currently my search is working for product names, I want to extend this to product description by default too.

amplifywebdesign wrote:Yes I was wondering if I could search in category names or descriptions as well?

Also I'm having problems with this search in descriptions checkbox. I tracked down the search module to (hopefully) the template/product/search.tpl and I added this:

Code: Select all

<div id="seach_tab"><?php echo $search; ?><input type="hidden"  name="description" id="description" checked="checked" /></div>

And it doesn't appear to work! Any help appreciated thanks!
