Hi Dave,
I know I am probably driving you mad but, Can I be little selfish ask 2 questions?
1. Your original script has a feature call sort by Price Relevance High to Low. I would like take this little further by using this feature to have a price braek down. For example, If I search for Digital Cameras, I would like to have a menu on left hand side of my search result page showing the links for various price category like; £50-100, £101-£150; £151-200 etc. This can be done using a mini script, basically purpose of this script is to read the highest and lowest value item in the search in question and produce a multi-tier price bracket link. When click on the link then it shows the only products in that price range. This should be sometthing sinilar to shopping.com search results page. If you go to shopping.com and search for digital camera then look at left hand side where it says PRICE RANGE.
2. Is there anyway to make an area for advertisers similar to the admin area but limited to the advertiser's own feed? What mean by this is, I would like to have advertiser themselves upload and register their own feed. So If we create a Login area for merchant where the individual merchants can register and on approved they can login to the ad management area upload their feed and register it by themselves (NO IMPOTING NEEDED). Once I run import.php at the weekend all feeds are registered along the way. Remember mechant only can access their own uploaded feeds nothing else.
I know this is bit of a work for you, but I am prepare to pay for this mods. Please contact me through e-mail.
Thanks.
Noor
Hello Noor,
Both are quite complex modifications i'm afraid - the particular gotcha with a price range filter is making is suitable across the entire product range. For example, a search containing Washing Machines would not want to have a price option of £1-£9 etc, you would want to start with something like £1-£199 etc.
However, as a starting point to help you do this, I will email you the Price Tapestry min/max price search mods, which give you (if you use the new search form) a min and max price box with results being selected from within the price range. Any code developed to do create a min/max price filter could use these parameters to set the range...
Cheers,
David.
What I was thinking, to write a code within the search.php to automatically detect the product's lowest value and the highest values and then categorise them accordingly. Say some searches for "washing machine" and my database has over 200 products. Lowest priced at £99 and highest priced at £699, so we need write code that takes the lowest value (£99) and highest value (£699) and figurure out that price categories accordingly by dividing the ranges by 50, 100 increment or even use a variable where the actual script user can decide what to put there.
Also you did not say anything about the other mods for Admin seaction for advertisers.
Hello Noor,
Both are relatively complex requirements that i'm afraid are way beyond what can be posted as quick modifications via the forum. I'm afraid I don't have any availability for custom development at this time, but if that situation changes in the near future i'll certainly let you know...
Cheers,
David.
I'll wait Dave. I know you are a busy person. Thanks for your help.
Howdy David,
A delight reading through forums here, so pleasant!
In an earlier post in this thread you mention that there are some search mods for prices, I've scoured the forums and do not be able to find them.
Is it possible you can either point me in the correct direction or post them here/email them?
Many thanks,
Matt
Is it possible to get code for this modification with price range?
Thanks
