Hi all,
I would like to customise my product search results for VM2.
could anyone advise which view file to edit to change the search results page.
(ie i do not want the categories at the top of the search page)
Many thanks
Mark
turn off the categories in the search configuration
Many thanks banquet
But which file is the template files would like to change the h tag for the product names in the search results
Thanks again.
look at the url.
Its "category" /tmpl/default.php I believe
I am using the default VM search tool .. But whenever I a query is executed, it displays "0" results.
Please advise. Thanks.

what do you have set for "search fields" in backend configuration
?
what do you have set for "search fields" in backend configuration ?
Well, I am not too sure ..
If it answers - I have activated the following plugins:
Search - Categories
Search - Contacts
Search - Content
Search - Newsfeeds
Search - Weblinks
Is there some particular way by which I need to configure the search fields? Please suggest.
Thanks.
this
Search - Categories
will return the categories when you search
Hello Banquet,
I disabled the rest of the plugins (content, contacts, weblinks, etc) - but still the search did not display any results !
Please suggest ! Thanks..

have you looked in the vmart configuration? "Product Order Settings" tab
Well, my "Available search fields" includes product names, short descn, category name, etc..
However, the search only shows results from Joomla content .. Any other string results in "0" search results !!
Seems VM data is not being screened.
Read on couple of forums, that one needs to use (some) plugin which includes VM data with Joomla content in searches.. If this is the case, can you please suggest any such plugin ?
Please help !!
then u need to use the vmart search module, NOT the joomla one
Maybe I don't understand you, but I've disabled all search fields exept Product Name and search results are still showing underneath categories.
Default Joomla 2.5.1 installation with no other extensions, default template and default VM 2.0.1f installation with sample data.

create a joomla menu item to the defaulkt layout, and see what happens
Done, no change.
I was looking into this as well, have you found any solution to your problem?
@100gods: You should use the vm module search en not the joomla core search!
I have found a quick solution....
I have set my default shop category template to A (I have then edited the template and removed the category listing)
I have then pointed my product categories to Category template B (copy of A before editing)
Hope it makes sense...

not realy. Did you mean you make a copy from default_categories.php. then you have default_categories_a.php and default_categories_b.php.
Now you deleted the categorie part from default_categories_a.php and you set in the backend at the virtuemart standart settings default_categories_a.php as standart for your startpage.
But what did you do with the default_categoires_b.php?
In my shop i want as first page an overview of all categories.
Can you tell me how i can do this when i have changed the default_categories_a.php?
Which type of menu i have to take?
Or can anyone tell me how i can take an other template for the search results?
Do we really want to do this? I think this issue should be resolved by VM developers.
