manipulate search

Hi,

On the searches of the Joomla search module ?
In that case, the order of the results depends on the order of the different plugins. And for the results of HikaShop it's either ordered based on the latest modification date, the creation date, the number of hits of the page, or alphabetically.
If you want to change the order of the product results in the search module of Joomla, you would have to change the code:

switch($ordering){
			case 'alpha':
				$order = 'a.product_name ASC';
				break;
			case 'newest':
				$order = 'a.product_modified DESC';
				break;
			case 'oldest':
				$order = 'a.product_created ASC';
				break;
			case 'popular':
				$order = 'a.product_hit DESC';
				break;
			case 'category':
			default:
				$order = 'a.product_name DESC';
				break;
		}

Hi,

In that case I see several solutions but they will require some development.
You could have a small plugin and implement the onBeforeProductListingLoad trigger to change the MySQL loading the products:

For example, by modifying the $order variable which contains the "ORDER BY ... ASC/DESC" part of the query loading the results so that you would also base yourself on a custom product field.
Or for a more complex solution, you could implement the onHikashopBeforeDisplayView trigger to append the data of such products that you would load yourself into the $view->rows array of the view displaying the results:
www.hikashop.com/support/documentation/6...hopBeforeDisplayView
I would personally recommend the first approach which is much simpler and easier to implement.

Hi,

You can see an example with this plugin:
