Hello there
I am using opencart 3.0.3.2 with Journal 3 and I have problem with seach products when i use SKU number.
There is a product in Catalog with SKU with number 50131001B - when i search it everything is fine, but when i try to search with only part of that SKU for example 50131001 or 50131 search results show me that there is no products with this matching criteria. Is there anyway to change that "exact match" with logic to search even i've entered a part of it.
Thanks in advanced to everyone

catalog/model/catalog/product.php function getProducts()
Code: Select all
$sql .= " OR LCASE(p.sku) = '" . $this->db->escape(utf8_strtolower($data['filter_name'])) . "'";
change to
Code: Select all
$sql .= " OR LCASE(p.sku) LIKE '%" . $this->db->escape(utf8_strtolower($data['filter_name'])) . "%'";

Try the suggested modification with the Journal theme disabled, e.g. with OpenCart's default theme. The Journal software clashes with a lot of other 3rd party extensions or modifications, and it might possibly use its own model class instead of the one modified by you.

I forgot, getTotalProducts()
same change, you have to keep these two functions in sync.

Yeah Journal obviously use own logic for search because that functuality i'm looking for is already code in auto-suggest
I've disabled and also change both methods in catalog/product.php with
Code: Select all
$sql .= " OR LCASE(p.sku) LIKE '%" . $this->db->escape(utf8_strtolower($data['filter_name'])) . "%'";
Delete all cache and refresh modifications
But still product doesn't appear in search without B in the sku
Ok .. i change the SKU to Model .. trying to do the same with the model with like '%" method but still nothing

Try this
Code: Select all
$sql .= " OR LCASE(p.sku) LIKE '%" . str_replace(' ', "%' OR LCASE (p.sku) LIKE '%", $data['filter_name']) . "%'";

why not put
or
at the bottom of function getProducts()
just before
then you can see which query is executed.

None of above is working for Journal 3x
This one is though:
find around line 995 in /catalog/model/journal3/filter.php
$sql .= " OR LCASE(p.sku) = '" . $this->db->escape(utf8_strtolower($filter_data['filter_name'])) . "'";
and change to
$sql .= " OR LCASE(p.sku) LIKE '%" . $this->db->escape(utf8_strtolower($filter_data['filter_name'])) . "%'";

While the OC version has been unposted, Journal is unsupported on the forum in anyhow. Please contact Journal support for further assistance with Journal requests.

In order not to open a new topic, I'm writing here. The platform version is the same.
Can I change the search to 2 or more words?
Example: Currently, if I type zz uu, products containing only one or both words will be displayed, and I want to display only products containing both words.

This forum thread is several years old, and the OP probably has resolved the issue since then.
Besides, this forum is for OpenCart, for Journal3 use
their support. The Journal3 framework uses its own search functionality anyway. Also, we strongly recommend to use a proper standard-compliant web theme for OpenCart, not a different framework like Journal.
