MemberHi Guys,
im using the [wp_eStore_product_search] function but this just displays a table of all the products that match the search but my digital products dont have there own page so this search shows all the products the search matches in a table with no option to buy or see the product.
is there a search function that does exactly the same thing but displays all the products that match the search in fancy 1 style?
many thanks

KeymasterHi Mike, Try the following shortcode:
[wp_eStore_product_search_with_add_to_cart_button]
This will show the search results with an add to cart button next to them.
We use a tabular display (rather than fancy ones) for the search result as it allows us to list a lot of products (the result) in a small space. It is a better way to display search result.

ModeratorAlso, each fancy display template is styled differently and therefore some products displayed in the search results may not be suitable for a particular type of fancy display.

KeymasterWe don’t have that for search but this eStore addon could be handy for you:

KeymasterHi Mike, if we get enough request for this feature then we can develop that feature:

MemberIs there a way to do advanced searches of the products? I currently have this added to my page with the code [wp_eStore_product_search_with_add_to_cart_button] – [http://creativeheadwear.com/product-search/]. I can enter cap and get all caps or zebra and get all products made out of zebra material, but I don’t have a way to search for a cap in zebra material and get only zebra caps.
My version information:
Extra Shortcodes for WP eStore Version v4.6.6
WP eStore Version v7.0.7
WordPress 3.8.1

SpectatorIs there a way to search a category and in the results to see product images only? Also, is there a way to have the latest products listed first in the search rezults?
Thanks

KeymasterYou want to search products from a category or just the category with the given keyword?

SpectatorI want to search the category.
October 20, 2015 at 11:57 pm #55027admin
KeymasterYou can do that by adding the search_category=”1″ parameter in the shortcode.
Here is an example shortcode usage:
[wp_eStore_product_search search_category=”1″]

SpectatorThank you for your previous response.
Does the word “Search” need to appear two times (as posted above)? Also, Any way the search results can show thumbnails in a grid?

MemberThe shortcode:
[wp_eStore_product_search search_category=”4″]
Shows results from ALL categories and only searches the product name.
Is that a bug or feature?
Thanks.

KeymasterIt searches both the category name and category description. Do you have some text in the description field of your categories?
