I want to have a dropdown Menu with all my categories and a textfield to write a keyword in order to search in specific category.
The Virtuemart Product Search module doesn't have this option. How can I do that? Is there an extension for this?
Thanks.
Hi,
I couldn't find either, but i've solved the issue by adding little code into the php file.
Before "product search" was bringing the products only if they are under the same category. I have many categories and thousands of products, i wanted to be able to search a product even if they are belong to other categories. Now it works great.
I'm using also joomla 2.5 and virtuemart 2.
You must change the product.php file under the Administrator/components/com_virtuemart/models
lines 297 and 300 are missing in the original file.
296 if ($virtuemart_category_id > 0) {
297 if (empty($filter_search)) {
298 $joinCategory = TRUE;
299 $where[] = ' `pc`.`virtuemart_category_id` = ' . $virtuemart_category_id;
300 }
301 }
Hope it'll help to you.
