add search field / search box

[buzzbored]

hello, on a page displaying all products there is Browse-view, ordeby-displaynumber, vm-order-list classes. This shows a sort by and manufacturer select options. I would like to know if you can add a regular search bar to search for a specific product there.

You mean like the VM - Search in Shop module? It does have configuration options.

Please try the new vm3.0.17.2, which is our current release candidate.

There is a new option for the search. We will remove "virtuemart" view and it will be completly replaced by the category view. The category view has now a new option "show search".

When enabled, you see the normal vm search field. But you can now also activate the "searchable" parameter in a custom "String" ("/administrator/index.php?option=com_virtuemart&view=custom"). So you get a dropdown if in your category is a product using customfields based on that custom.

Hello Milbo,

Please tell me where to turn off the search field in the category view.
Turning off the VM search module hasn't got any effect.

thanks,

Thanks for the quick reply!
I found an xml for the category view where the search option default was 1 and I thought it can be adjusted from the admin surface what I cannot find.

Create a menu item with VirtueMart -> Category Layout item type and set "Show search" option.
