Hi,

The results are displayed by Joomla in a view of com_search. You will have a hard time trying to do it.

One simpler approach is to use a filter like we did on our demo website's home page with the hikashop filter module near the bottom:
www.demo.hikashop.com/index.php?lang=en

It uses the filtering system coupled with a standard HikaShop products listing menu so that you can easily configure the display of the result products like you do with your products listings:

hello nicolas,

that was our initial aproach but we stoped using the filter for that purpose cause when you are searching a product within a category then the returned results are coming only from that category. We need a global, everywhere search

Create a "search" menu item of the type hikashop products listing and make it display all your products.
Then, add your filters to it and the filters will filter on all your products.

hello
i used the filters as u described for the products and works perfect
now what i want to do is to filter by category_name
for example in a book store i want to search for the brand or the writer
the brand equals to manufacturer (at my case) and the writer equals to categories (NOT products)
so when i put the name e.g. of a writer to filter all the category_name and give me that writer

thanx

Hello,

You can create categories for each brands, and add this category to the books, then you have to enable the hikazshop category search plugin.
When doing a search it will display the related categories, so the brand or writer.

Hi,

You can already create filters which apply on categories:



So there is no need to change any code.

Hi,

For the filter it depends on the filter type. You have to select "dropdown" or "checkbox" to filter on categories.
You don't have to set values, it will get the available categories by default.

Regarding the search, it's based on the Joomla search, so there is maybe an option in the joomla configuration for that.

It's not possible to filter products with the user entering themselves the text of the categories.

For your second question, you can do like that:

About the search it imply a custom code to make it "smarter", it does ask too much development so we can't make it for you.
I would recommend to keep the old option so with your search "goodmorning, vietnam" it will work.

About the categories, try with the list type.
PS: You don't need that much "????" to make us understand your question ;)

Hi Nicolas, can you be a bit more detailed on how to do this. The joomla search does nothing. I am not sure what your are describing here and then applying filter. Thanks.

Mmm. I'm not following you.

What do you means by the "joomla search does nothing" ?

Did you publish and configure the HikaShop search plugins ? Otherwise, you won't get any result from HikaShop in the search results of the joomla search module.

The information on this thread is mainly about Hikashop filters, and not Joomla search.
