eStore – Product search function

[moran1804]

Hi 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

Hi 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.

[wpCommerce]

Also, 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.

thats absolutely great

just one question is it possible to have add to cart for non members and download for logged in members in the search function.

many thanks

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

I have that add-on and all my products show add to cart for non members and download for members. and i must say its amazing really really really good. but i would love the same functionality using this plugin with a search function? is it something that i can already do or something you can build into an update?

many thanks

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

Is 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

Is 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

[admin]

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

[videos2worship]

I want to search the category.

[admin]

You 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″]

Thank 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?

[dnuttall]

The 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.

[admin]

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