Search for vendor listing was created by wouter.galia

Hi

Is it possible to create a vendor search module? Can this be done by using an event hook onBeforeVendorListingDisplay? Can I use this event to get the search results?

Can you give me some advice in what the best approach would be?

Hello,

In fact, you have almost "nothing" to do except that sending the parameter "search" (in the URL or as POST data).
HikaMarket vendor listing will automatically perform the search on the fields listing in "search_map" that you can see in data given during the trigger "onBeforeVendorListingDisplay".

Thank you for your reply. Will this work as well when searching for keywords in the description or other fields?

Hello,

As mentioned, the list of fields is available via the trigger ( search_map ) and you can tweak it if you want to change/add/ the fields that you want to look into.
By default it's

Code:

$trigger_params['search_map'] = array(
	'vendor.vendor_name',
	'vendor.vendor_description',
	'vendor.vendor_id'
);

Hi Jerome,

I tried to create the extension as you described but when I put a variable in the search it is not working.
demo.hikashop.com/index.php/en/hikamarke...sting?search=vendor1

Even in the vendor listing if I request a variable as search it is not working.
Can you show me a working url as example?

Regards
Wouter

Hello,

My bad, I didn't realized that the "pageInfo" is not loaded via the common function ; so the loading of the "search" is missing.
In the view.html.php file of the vendormarket folder ; please replace

Code:

	$pageInfo->limit->start = $app->getUserStateFromRequest($this->paramBase . '.limitstart', 'limitstart_' . $this->params->get('main_div_name'), 0, 'int');

Code:

	$pageInfo->limit->start = $app->getUserStateFromRequest($this->paramBase . '.limitstart', 'limitstart_' . $this->params->get('main_div_name'), 0, 'int');

	$pageInfo->search = JString::strtolower($app->getUserStateFromRequest($this->paramBase.'.search', 'search', '', 'string'));
	$pageInfo->search = trim($pageInfo->search);

And it would activate the search.
