Is there any code where we would have the ability when you go into a category to select what product appears first
i.e. in this category {link saved} select certain products to show on maybe 2-3 pages?
Regards
Stuart
Thank you wil give this a try
Similar question, probably related. Can we limit the nuber of products in a category, but still have them show in search results?
Cheers
Stuart
Hi Stuart,
If you wanted to cap the number of search results pages for categories then you could do this as follows; in search.php, look for the following code around line 275:
$resultCount = $rowsResultCount[0]["resultcount"];...and REPLACE with:
$resultCount = $rowsResultCount[0]["resultcount"];
$resultCountCategoryMax = 1000;
if (($parts[0]=="category") && ($resultCount > $resultCountCategoryMax))
{
$resultCount = $resultCountCategoryMax;
}...simply change the value of $resultCountCategoryMax as required!
This won't remove anything from the database of course, so products will still show up if they match a non-category based search.
Cheers,
David.

Hi David, The cap results works brilliant thank you
I have done the promoted.php and changed the code in search.php
Can't see anything displaying on the site, any ideas?
{link saved}
Cheers
Stuart
Not sure if you saw my last reply, have nearly got them displaying now but no pictures and they "promoted" don't link through to the product
{link saved}
Can promoted be added to the admin area, like "featured"
Thanks
Stuart
Hi Stuart,
"*" was missing from the SELECT, that should be all it is - this line:
$sql = "SELECT MIN( price ) AS minPrice, MAX( price ) AS maxPrice, COUNT( id ) AS numMerchants...should be:
$sql = "SELECT *,MIN( price ) AS minPrice, MAX( price ) AS maxPrice, COUNT( id ) AS numMerchants(corrected above also)
Cheers,
David.

Hi Stuart,
Manipulating the actual search results can tend to be inefficient, it is much better to define "promoted products" under certain conditions and display them as a separate instance of search results above the normal query based search results.
To try this, create the following new file as html/promoted.php:
<?php$promoted["category1"] = array("Product 1","Product 2","Product 3");
$promoted["category2"] = array("Product 4","Product 5","Product 6");
if (
$parts[0]=="category"
&&
isset($promoted[$parts[1]])
)
{
$prmoted_SavedSearchResults = $searchresults;
$ins = array();
foreach($promoted[$parts[1]] as $productName)
{
$ins[] = "'".database_safe($productName)."'";
}
$in = implode(",",$ins);
$sql = "SELECT *,MIN( price ) AS minPrice, MAX( price ) AS maxPrice, COUNT( id ) AS numMerchants
FROM `".$config_databaseTablePrefix."products`
WHERE name IN (".$in.") GROUP BY name";
database_querySelect($sql,$rows);
$searchresults["products"] = $rows;
foreach($searchresults["products"] as $k => $product)
{
$searchresults["products"][$k]["productHREF"] = tapestry_productHREF($product);
}
require("html/searchresults.php");
$searchresults = $prmoted_SavedSearchResults;
}
?>
Edit the $promoted array as required, replacing "category1", "category2" etc. and the product names exactly as required, and then to include, in your search.php look for the following code around line 362:
require("html/searchresults.php");...and REPLACE with:
require("html/promoted.php");require("html/searchresults.php");
Should be close!
Cheers,
David.
