When I do a search, the results show in the main window but on top of them I have the categories displayed, is there a way of getting rid of the categories and just display the search results???? thanks

Thanks for the reply, but I don't think it's what I'm talking about. The Categories I mean are the category layout in the main page, not the ones included in the search results. I'll attach an image for you to see. And here is the link if you want to see it live.

Temporary resolver standard Joomla search.
Waiting another solution.

Same for me..
yes its weird this result of searching !! looks no developer tested it !
When you have a lot of category, you have to scroll down to find the result...!!

the VM search module was perfect in VM1, and now is worst...
The performance also are less good !!
for example my product called "glasses white wine", if i search "glass white wine" it wounds nothing !!! its unbelievable. Again in VM1 it found perfectly !!

In search module \modules\mod_virtuemart_search\tmpl\default.php  line 4 says:

<form action="<?php echo JRoute::_('index.php?option=com_virtuemart&view=category&search=true&limitstart=0&virtuemart_category_id='.$category_id )

The result of search is intended to be shown in category view. So, what do we have here? $category_id=0 (parent category!) and sub-categories on top of the default category view, then the list of products (if any), found in our search.

Temporary solution: if we don't need categories in category view, at least in our search result, check if it is a search request. Change line 72 in \components\com_virtuemart\views\category\tmpl\default.php from this:

if(!empty($this->category->children )){

to this:

if(!empty($this->category->children ) && !(boolean)JRequest::getVar('search', false)){

Search results (nice shovels set, but no categories on top:)) are on screenshot # 7. If it is not a search, but category view, everything is in place, like in screenshot # 8.

Grate! It work.

Another solution from d0ublezer0 http://forum.virtuemart.net/index.php?topic=98558.0

We can mark this post like [solved]

P.S.
One more question: "How can I show sku for select product?"

How can I show sku for select product?

Could you explain? Where you want to show the SKU? In product view ("flypage")? In category view? In search results?

Hi, i'm back from my holidays and was happy to see there was a solution, but it didn't last long. When I opened components\com_virtuemart\views\category\tmpl\default.php, I could find the mentioned line:  if(!empty($this->category->children )){
I've checked the other post http://forum.virtuemart.net/index.php?topic=98558.0 but it's the same story. This is the code I have:

Please check the VM version you use.

This is the one, I was talking about (2.0.2 stable):

Definitely, you can find a similar solution for old version too. The main idea is do define, is there a search request, or a "general" category view request, and don't show subcats in the first case.

cynthu

Samf you are my hero!

I did have VM 2.0, so I read the code line by line and I found it, not too far! I'm a foooool. I couldn't find it yesterday cause I used the search, and there was an extra white space after children, my line is:  if(!empty($this->category->children)){
I did imagine this yesterday and tried shorter searchs, but I guess that my "Find" component was not in the mood, or was I too tired?? Thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :D

Could you explain? Where you want to show the SKU? In product view ("flypage")? In category view? In search results?

Any where( in catalog and search result) it be usefull, I'm sure. May be you know, how can I create custom layout for product. (this option exist(default, sku, price and etc.) but, I can use it, have you documentetion for this?)

This is a documentation for awhile: http://forum.virtuemart.net/index.php?topic=92756.0

To show SKU in category view, or search result view, write something like:

echo 'SKU '.$product->product_sku;

What you get is on the picture attached.
