Then, on the com_Search tmpl override, I pulled the plugin's params to see what ItemID I needed to use for the current language. It now works with my 2 languages and I think I will work if I add a new language. The plugin is not for admins, is more for developers and customizers. I'm attaching it in case someone needs it. Note: You can add more fields to the plugin by editing the XML. You can also use a different logic for determining the name of the param to be used. *This attachment is hidden for guests. Please log in or register to see it.* The code I used in the com_search override (default_results.php) was: On the First lines of the file: Code: $plugin = JPluginHelper::getPlugin('system', 'likan_hikashop_multilang'); $params = new JRegistry; $params->loadString($plugin->params); $localizedParamID = JText::_('LK_LOCALIZED_ITEM_ID'); // You need to add the fieldnamames to the language file(S) $localizedItemid = $params->get($localizedParamID); Then, right before displaying each result: Code: <?php if ( $result->href ) : // Added by Likan $hspattern = '/com_hikashop/'; if (preg_match($hspattern, $result->href)){ // This is a HS product, brand or category $pattern = '/Itemid=[0-9A-Za-z]*/'; $url_itemID = 'Itemid=' . $localizedItemid; if (preg_match($pattern, $result->href)) $result->href = preg_replace($pattern, $url_itemID, $result->href); else $result->href .= '&' . $url_itemID; } ?> Note: On the foreach, I added a '&' to the $result var, to modify it's actual content. Code: <?php foreach ($this->results as &$result) : ?> That worked for me. Please update this thread if you guys know how to do it in a better way. --- Eduardo Chongkan - Likan Development [ ](http://likandevelopment.com)[ likandevelopment.com](http://likandevelopment.com) Last edit: 14 years 1 week ago by [likandev](/forum/user/9788-likandev "View likandev's Profile").

I was also using a Yootheme AJAX based search and today we noticed that in the secondary language, the Sanish URLs were broken because of a malformed SEF URL: It was always returning: es/**shop**/p/148-cartera-retro-floreada-cierre-pellizco/category_pathway-87 That URL should in fact be: es/**catalogo**/p/148-cartera-retro-floreada-cierre-pellizco/category_pathway-87 This time, since the URL was comming from the Hikashop Plugin and the JS code was obfuscated, I needed to modify the product search pugin: plugins/search/hikashop_products/hikashop_products.php On line 240, I modified it as follows: Code: // Original //$item_id = $this->params->get('item_id',''); // Likan $lkplugin = JPluginHelper::getPlugin('system', 'likan_hikashop_multilang'); $lkparams = new JRegistry; $lkparams->loadString($lkplugin->params); $localizedParamID = JText::_('LK_LOCALIZED_ITEM_ID'); // You need to add the fieldnamames to the language file(S) $item_id = $lkparams->get($localizedParamID); The Ajax search now works fine in both languages. PS. I still need to do some work on the URL translations when you click on Language Options ( Switching Languages ) It is based on the same plugin.
